Answer 1

I assume this is a follow up to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3179283/ticker-in-android

In your xml-layout file, add this to your TextView

android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"

and in your code:

        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
        tv.setSelected(true);
