I want to create a TextView that does NOT wrap text, and allow vertical/horizontal scrolling? The solution described here no longer works on 4.0.3.

Is there any solution for 4.x?

Wrap your text in a HorizontalScrollView for horizontal scrolling:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <TextView android:id="@+id/text_view" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="false" android:maxLines="3" android:scrollbars="vertical" android:textColor="@android:color/secondary_text_dark_nodisable" > </TextView> </HorizontalScrollView>

For vertical scrolling use ScrollView.

Also, this XML was just grabbed from the answer you referenced.
