text for marquee dynamically

Question

Is it possible to add text from java coding of a list view to marquee scroll in Android. If yes can you please let me know how?

If needed I shall post the code used. This was the XML for listview used is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
     <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >
    </LinearLayout>
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/audiolist_listView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/backgroundimg"
        android:divider="@drawable/gradient"
        android:dividerHeight="1dp"
        android:scrollbars="vertical" >
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

The java class for listview is as follows

public class Audiovediolist extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener {
    private ListView audioList;
    private Intent frmHome;
    private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> dataList;
    private HashMap<String, String> map;

            "Scorpio-Vruchikam", "Sagittarius-Dhanussu", "Capricorn-Makaram",
            "Aquarius-Kumbham", "Pisces-Meenam" };
    Integer mImages[] = { R.drawable.meshamu, R.drawable.vrushabhamu,

Answer 1

If you need to move text around, maybe this will help:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/animation-resource.html#translate-element

If you have a TextView with a text that is too big and you want it to move around so people can read the whole thing, try android:ellipsize="marquee" in the .xml file, or in the Java code: textView.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.MARQUEE);

Answer 2

If the android libraries not enough, you can always use the java via coding. Create a thread class that gets the views and change conditions over time. You can create an intent to call that class.

Answer 3

You can use the TextSwitcher and apply the animation on it.

Try below code:

public class TextSwitcherActivity extends Activity implements ViewSwitcher.ViewFactory,
    View.OnClickListener                    
  {
private TextSwitcher m_switcher;
private Button m_nextButton;
private int m_counter = 0;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    m_switcher = (TextSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.tsSwitcher);
    m_switcher.setFactory(this);

    Animation in = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, android.R.anim.fade_in);
    Animation out = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, android.R.anim.fade_out);
    m_switcher.setInAnimation(in);
    m_switcher.setOutAnimation(out);

    m_nextButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next);
    m_nextButton.setOnClickListener(this);
    updateCounter();
}

/**
 * Update counter value
 */
public void onClick(View v)
{
    m_counter++;
    updateCounter();
}

/**
 * Set text on textswitcher
 */
private void updateCounter()
{
    m_switcher.setText(String.valueOf(m_counter));
}

public View makeView()
{
    TextView t = new TextView(this);
    t.setGravity(Gravity.TOP | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
    t.setTextSize(36);
    return t;
}

You can define your own animations to get the marquee effect.

Answer 4

Here is the example

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/mywidget"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:lines="1"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:textColor="#ff4500"
    android:text="Simple application that shows how to use marquee, with a long text" />

In java (If you are using a Listview and binding an adapter, then in getview when u inflate Layout and its view component, set the selected flag to true to your TextView.)

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

Answer 5

By using below method you can convert your list of string values into a single string,

String listString = String.join(", ", list);

This will convert list values into string and with that you can achieve this. I know this is very late but I posted because there is no solution provided that's why.
