You can use

setMarqueeRepeatLimit (int marqueeLimit)

set to 1 and add new text by appending new one DO this for each time you append new text and set to -1 when finished.

@Hanry You are right but i think it will marquee only if it gains focus.. i had this problem earlier.. what i did is replaced the textview with webview and used marquee tag to make the text scroll.

Edit : Response to sangita

        webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        webview.getSettings().setDefaultFontSize(26);
        webview.setBackgroundColor(R.color.Black);
        webview.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {


            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                //DO actions here
            }
        });
        String content = "MARQUEE TEST";

        String summary = "<html><FONT color='#fdb728' FACE='courier'><marquee behavior='scroll' direction='left' scrollamount=10>"
                + content + "</marquee></FONT></html>";
        webview.loadData(summary, "text/html", "utf-8");

This is scrolling continuously. I need to scroll once. – indira Apr 12 '11 at 11:52
add loop="1" inside the marquee tag – Jana Apr 12 '11 at 11:56
Is it possible to append text to it? – indira Apr 12 '11 at 12:03
modifying variable "content" will naturally append or modify displaying content – Jana Apr 14 '11 at 04:40
