To set infinite marquee programmatically use:

TextView txt = new TextView(this);
txt.setText("This is the infinite marquee");
txt.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
txt.setSingleLine(true);
txt.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(-1);
txt.setSelected(true);

OP is asking to do this programmatically, and not through XML way. – Arpit J. Jan 29 '19 at 12:07
