TextView Ellipsize (…) not working

Add the following styles in your styles file (typically styles.xml):

<style name="autoscroll">
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">marquee</item>
    <item name="android:marqueeRepeatLimit">marquee_forever</item>
    <item name="android:focusable">true</item>
    <item name="android:focusableInTouchMode">true</item>
    <item name="android:scrollHorizontally">true</item>
</style>

Then add the style @style/autoscroll to your TextView:

<TextView android:id="@+id/lName"
      style="@style/autoscroll" />

You can reuse your autoscroll feature easily when you want this way.
