You could use android:ellipsize="marquee" in the TextView attributes or by implement your own animation

A side note: The default marquee animation starts only if the TextView being selected.

This is small example for auto scroll text view simply using XML, no need to code Java. Hope you will like it! Try it on your own, it is very easy to perform

Try this :

<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:text="This is small example for auto scroll text view simply using XML, no need to code Java. Hope you like it! Try it on your own, it is very easy to perform" />
