import com.lernapp.src.Database.LernAppOpenHelper;

public class StartMenu extends Activity {

    private ScrollView scroller;
    private TextView text;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.startmenu);

        setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        Button infoButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.startmenubutton4);

        infoButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {          
            public void onClick(View v) {

                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)StartMenu.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                final PopupWindow pw = new PopupWindow(
                   inflater.inflate(R.layout.infopopup, null, false), 
                   300, 
                   400, 
                   false);

                pw.setBackgroundDrawable(new BitmapDrawable());    
                pw.setOutsideTouchable(true);               
                pw.showAtLocation(findViewById(R.id.startmenumain), Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);

                View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.infopopup, null, false);

                scroller = (ScrollView)view.findViewById(R.id.scroller);
                text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.scrolltext);

                scroller.post(new Runnable() { 
                    public void run() { 
                        scroller.smoothScrollTo(0, text.getBottom());
                    } 
                });

            }
        }); 

    }   
}

</ScrollView>

Answer 1

Why not only use a TextView, it can scroll horizontally.

android:elippsize="marquee"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
