Question

I fixed the below issue. A simple change. Replaced android:lines="1" with android:singleLine="true".

---

Currently my app is showing the text in the widget as Marquee. It is working as expected in all Android OS except for 4.0 version. I have tested in Emulator with API level 14 and text is not scrolling (Marquee). Below is the layout xml being used to show the text in Marquee effect.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:lines="1"
    android:background="@android:color/background_dark"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
    android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
     android:duplicateParentState="true"
     android:textSize="20dp">
    <requestFocus android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
        android:duplicateParentState="true" />
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>

Help me to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.
