title: Android Auto Scrolling EditText Hint
body: <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6250041/problem-with-making-edittext-scrollable">problem with making edittext scrollable</a></p>
  
  <p>there is mentioned that it is not scrollable with singleLine=true.</p>
  
  <p>So i have 2 options:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I check if the user inputs "\n" and delete that, then i have to worry about things in the second line, too.</p></li>
  <li><p>I use a custom textviews which scrolls through in a loop, could this be used here too only for the hint ?</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;com.test.ScrollingTextView
          android:id="@+id/textView1"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
          android:layout_weight="0.17"
          android:background="@color/black"
          android:ellipsize="marquee"
          android:gravity="center_vertical"
          android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
          android:paddingLeft="10dp"
          android:scrollHorizontally="true"
          android:singleLine="true"
          android:text="@string/editLength"
          android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
          android:textColor="@color/white" /&gt;
  </code></pre></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>public class ScrollingTextView extends TextView {</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ScrollingTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
      super(context, attrs, defStyle);
  }
  
  public ScrollingTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
      super(context, attrs);
  }
  
  public ScrollingTextView(Context context) {
      super(context);
  }
  
  @Override
  protected void onFocusChanged(boolean focused, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) {
      if (focused)
          super.onFocusChanged(focused, direction, previouslyFocusedRect);
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean focused) {
      if (focused)
          super.onWindowFocusChanged(focused);
  }
  
  @Override
  public boolean isFocused() {
      return true;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>I just cant get this formated right. Sorry for that.</p>
