Implement auto scroll marquee TextView in ListView

This example implement auto scroll TextView in custom ListView to "List System Properties of Android system".

Implement auto scroll marquee TextView in ListView

Reference:

• Implement auto scroll TextView in XML
• Two or more marquee TextView run at the same time

To make a TextView auto-run, if the text is longer than display area, add the line to <TextView> in layout file:

        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="marquee"
        android:marqueeRepeatLimit ="marquee_forever"

And call textview.setSelected(true) in Java code.
