title: android widget text view marquee scroll
body: <p>can a widget have a marquee textview? if so how would i implement it?</p>
  
  <p>i have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;TextView
  
          android:id="@+id/followers"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
          android:layout_weight="10"
          android:ellipsize="marquee"
          android:focusable="true"
          android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
          android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
          android:singleLine="true"
          android:text="@string/load"
          android:textColor="@color/white"
          android:textSize="24dip"
          android:textStyle="bold"
      android:scrollHorizontally="true" &gt;
      &lt;/TextView&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i know this marquee works as i have made this same textview for a normal app activity and the marquee is working. it just isnt working for the widget side.
  the size of the text is longer that the width so that should work. </p>
  
  <p>any help as usual would be much appreciated</p>
