                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
                android:text="سنکیبنسکین مسنبک سنیکبم نککسن  کمن کمینسبکم نکن کنسبک سکیم بنکسمنیب کمسنی ب"

                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:freezesText="true"
                android:gravity="right"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"

You can better use animation for that.

Animation animationToRight = new TranslateAnimation(-400,400, 0, 0);
    Animation animationToLeft = new TranslateAnimation(400, -400, 0, 0);

animationToLeft.setDuration(12000); 
    animationToLeft.setRepeatMode(Animation.RESTART);
    animationToLeft.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
TextView textView= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewMarqToRight);

    textViewMarqToLeft.setAnimation(animationToLeft);

You can chose any one animation and appply it to your desired view.

Use below xml code in new folder under res :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
    android:fillAfter="true">

   <translate
        android:fromXDelta="-3%p"
        android:toXDelta="3%p"
        android:duration="1200" />
</set>

And, just add this to your textview :

yourTextView.startAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(activity, R.newfolder.move));

Check out BidiFormatter, added recently in the Compatibility Package and native rtl support blog

You can then set the marquee programmatically as following

if (bidiFormatter.isRtlContext()) {
   txt_view_clerk.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.BEGIN);
} else {
   txt_view_clerk.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
}

Alternatively you can try

android:textDirection="anyRtl" in you xml.
