Android TextView AutoScroll

Question

I am trying to implement autoscroll in textviews in a table layout. I see that autoscroll is happening only for first textview box and not for all boxes.

        <TableRow
            android:id="@+id/GuessWordtableRow1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_margin="1dip"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#d65906" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView1a"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_margin="1dip"
                android:background="#fcc480"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:padding="1dip"
                android:text="1" >
            </TextView>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView11"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:ellipsize="marquee"
                android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                android:layout_margin="1dip"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="#fcc480"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:padding="1dip"
                android:text="This is a very big statement which has to scroll" >

            </TextView>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView12"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:ellipsize="marquee"
                android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                android:layout_margin="1dip"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:background="#fcc480"
                android:padding="1dip"
                android:text="This is a very big statement which has to scroll" >
            </TextView>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView13"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:ellipsize="marquee"
                android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                android:layout_margin="1dip"
                android:clickable="false"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:background="#fcc480"
                android:padding="1dip"
                android:text="This is a very big statement which has to scroll" >
            </TextView>
        </TableRow>

This is what I have. I see that text is scrolling only for textview id GuessWordtextView11 and not for GuessWordtextView12 and GuessWordtextView13. What could be the reason?

please see my answer and let me know if it works for you – mhdjazmati Dec 26 '15 at 10:11 — mhdjazmati, Dec 26 '15 at 10:11

I tried this, but it is same. I only see the first textview autosrolling. The other two are static. – user2901219 Dec 26 '15 at 10:53
please try to remove android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" for a bit and try with that . @user2901219 – mhdjazmati Dec 26 '15 at 11:21

Scrolling for all TextView:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<TableRow
    android:id="@+id/GuessWordtableRow1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="1dip"
    android:background="#d65906" >

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView1a"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="1dip"
            android:background="#fcc480"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="1dip"
            android:text="@string/long_string" >
        </TextView>
    </ScrollView>

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView11"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="1dip"
            android:background="#fcc480"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="1dip"
            android:text="@string/long_string"  >

        </TextView>
    </ScrollView>


    <ScrollView
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView12"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="1dip"
            android:background="#fcc480"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="1dip"
            android:text="@string/long_string"  >

        </TextView>
    </ScrollView>


    <ScrollView
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/GuessWordtextView13"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="1dip"
            android:background="#fcc480"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:padding="1dip"
            android:text="@string/long_string"  >

        </TextView>
    </ScrollView>

</TableRow>

What is saw previuosly using ScrollView is we can manually scroll, but it doesnt autoscroll. — user2901219, Dec 26 '15 at 19:25
