Answer 1

Use the following line in your code:

TextView.setSelected(true);

Answer 2

Just put these parameters in your TextView. It works :)

    android:singleLine="true" 
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 

`

Answer 3

I faced the same problem and this discussion helped me I just replace this line

android:maxLines="1"

with this line in xml

android:singleLine="true"

and it works the line txtView.setSelected(true); was also in my activity.

Answer 4

You must add the these attributes which is compulsary to marquee

 android:ellipsize="marquee"     
 android:focusable="true"    
 android:focusableInTouchMode="true"     
 android:singleLine="true"     
 android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"     
 android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Answer 5

 import android.app.Activity;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.text.TextUtils.TruncateAt;
 import android.widget.TextView;

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 private TextView textview;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    textview = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.textview);
    textview.setSelected(true);

    textview.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
    textview.setSingleLine(true);
 }

 }

Answer 6

Most of the answers are identical,
but also notice that in some cases marquee will not work without specifying of width in dips for the container.
For instance if you use weight in parent container

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.5"

marquee may not work.
