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

For right to left text for every one to use: try this:

        TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt);
    Rect bounds = new Rect();
    Paint textPaint = tv.getPaint();
    String text = tv.getText().toString();
    textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);
    int width = bounds.width();
    LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) tv.getLayoutParams();
    lp.width = width + 100;
            int startX = 300;
    TranslateAnimation ta = new TranslateAnimation(startX, lp.width, 0, 0);
    ta.setDuration(20000);
    ta.setRepeatCount(-1);
    tv.setAnimation(ta);
