If you don’t need to sub-class the TextView
, you can try this in your layout file:
<TextView
android:text="Single-line text view that scrolls automatically if the text is too long to fit in the widget"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Also, in your code use the following:
findViewById(R.id.serviceColorCode).setSelected(true);
