How to reverse the direction of marquee of a TextView

Question

I want to reverse the direction of marquee in the TextView. By default, the text moves from Right to Left, I want it to move from Left to Right. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I would suggest you create your own component with this behavior.

Like this: ViewFlipper with a single TextView as it's child (with your text displayed).

flipper.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.marquee_in));
flipper.setOutAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.marquee_out));

Marquee in:

Marquee out:

You have to tweak a bit the duration to make it look like a "native" animation. :-)
