Custom marquee notification text does not work.

Question

Hi, I'm trying to make part of my text in the notification highlighting area, but it doesn't work. I tried this:

<TextView android:id="@+id/title_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:gravity="bottom" android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever" android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="15sp" android:textStyle="bold" > </TextView> 

and in my .java I use remoteview:

 Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when); RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.notification); contentView.setTextViewText(R.id.title_text, "This is a very long text which is not fitting in the screen so it needs to be marqueed"); 

I would like to have a selection for this title_text. This is a very long text that does not fit on the screen, so it should be marked

but the tent does not work, remains motionless, what can I do?

thanks.

Answer 1

i changed my xml:

  <TextView android:id="@+id/title_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:gravity="bottom" android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever" android:scrollHorizontally="false" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="15sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#fff"> <requestFocus/> </TextView> 

I added <requestFocus/> , and now my area is working fine.

According to docs, setting the scrollHorizontally attribute to true will not wrap the text around the edge. Try setting false to use the ellipsize attribute.

Answer 3

I lost a day to understand that this effect is performed using this method from NotificationCompat.Builder : setTicker , which support RemoteView

I really hope the answer saves a lot of lives :) (almost lost my hair)
