Two or more marquee TextView run at the same time

Refer to the article "Implement auto scroll TextView in XML" to implement auto run marquee TextView. If more than one marquee TextView are included in a same layout, only one of them will run. To enable all run at the same time, call setSelected(true) method of the TextViews.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    <TextView
