scrollHorizontally in edittext don't work

Question

Why android:scrollHorizontally="true" don't work?

<EditText   
     ...
     android:cursorVisible="false"
     android:ellipsize="end"
     android:hint="@string/place_search_hint"
     android:imeOptions="actionSearch|flagNoFullscreen"
     android:inputType="numberDecimal"
     android:digits="0123456789.,-"
     android:maxLines="1"
     android:scrollHorizontally="true"/>

But if set android:inputType="text" - this work perfectly...

try using singleLine="true" ...Hope this will help you – Anamica Bisht Oct 07 '17 at 16:52 — Anamica Bisht, Oct 07 '17 at 16:52

Try to remove the ellipsize attribute. It has no effect as long as you have the inputType defined (see here) - but could affect the scrolling behavior.

Also, you could try to set the scroll programatically, like editText.setScroller(new Scroller(myContext));
