How to create a marquee effect for a text of smaller length not exceeding the screen size in Android?

Question

I have been trying to give the marquee effect for the word HELLO in my application but android does not allow the same unless the length of the text exceeds the screen size.

Answer 1

There is a simple solution

You have to create a WebView and display marquee like this code below.

webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.web);

String summary = ""
                + "Hello Droid" + "";

webView.loadData(summary, "text/html", "utf-8");
