I've created a series of tabs that have a fixed width of 100px. A tab contains an image with some text below it. If the text is too long to fit, I want it to automatically scroll. I only want one line. I tried the following but it did not work. I am using Android 2.3:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:background="#ff737373"
android:gravity="center"
android:minWidth="64dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="3dp" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:tag="tabImage" >
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:maxWidth="100px"
android:tag="tabCaption"
android:textColor="#ffd9d9d9"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
Any idea why this does not work? I came across the solution from another posting and there the user indicated that it works.
