I am very new to Android programming, and I have read everywhere and I
can't seem to find any solution.
Basic problem is that I have a TextView in a widget and I would like
the text to scroll when the text is longer than the TextView
layout_width. This is my code in the layout_widget.xml
<TextView android:id="@+id/fact" android:layout_width="200dp"
android:text="Loading... More text to see if it spans or
not and want more"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
Now I read that I have to make the TextView to be on focus, which I
have done. I have also read that you need to set the property
setSelected(true), and this is where I am struggling to set. In my
default Activity (in the AndroidManifest.xml) I have this following
code.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.widget_layout);
findViewById(R.id.fact).setSelected(true);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
The part below is used to set the Content to the widget_layout.xml and
then set the TextView property for setSelected to true
setContentView(R.layout.widget_layout);
findViewById(R.id.fact).setSelected(true);
I then return the ContentView back to main.xml
Now I am guessing this is wrong and this is not the way it should be
done. But I am wondering if it can be done. I also read that if you
can override the Framework, you can put your own properties in, for
example ScrollView, is this right as well? Also I am on SDK Version 7.
I much appreciate the help I receive, thanks all!
Also by removing setContentView(R.layout.main); when launching the
application via the app draw, the text does scroll, but the widget
doesn't. Kind of leads me to that a widget cannot have a marquee???
Has anyone got a marquee working on a widget??
