Autoscrolling Example for Android Studio
Autoscrolling is a feature introduced in android studio to make the longer text scroll automatically.If the text is too long to be displayed on the mobile screen, then you can use this feature. This will give a cool and unique style to your android app.

public class AutoscrollingTextView extends AppCompatActivity { TextView scrollingText; |
Next we will have to make the text scrolling by this simple line:-

scrollingText.setSelected(true); |
