I believe you want your text view to marquee. If so, this is how I did it:

In the XML. Set the following attributes for the TextView:

android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:focusable="false"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"

If your TextView is within a RelativeLayout, the width or height will have to be static (i.e. 32dp). If you need dynamic, place the TextView in another View within the RelativeLayout.

In onCreate(), you need to make the TextView selected:

myTextView.setSelected(true);

I use this code to animate my textView in recyclerView. (this code can use any whree)

in xml

<HorizontalScrollView
                android:id="@+id/scrollViewTxtAppsEn"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:scrollbars="none"
                android:visibility="visible"
                >

                <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/txtAppsEn"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:paddingTop="4dp"
                    android:paddingBottom="8dp"
                    android:clickable="true"
                    android:focusable="true"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:maxLines="1"
                    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                    android:text=""
                    android:textColor="@color/textColorDark"
                    android:textSize="9sp"
                    />
            </HorizontalScrollView>

In adapter

 @Override
  public void onViewAttachedToWindow(@NonNull ViewHolder holder) {
    handelAnimationTextView(holder.txtAppsEn, holder.scrollViewTxtAppsEn, true);
    super.onViewAttachedToWindow(holder);
  }

private void handelAnimationTextView(TextView textView, HorizontalScrollView scrollViewTextView, boolean isRightToLeft) {
    textView.post(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        if (canScroll(scrollViewTextView)) {
          if (isRightToLeft) {
            textView.startAnimation((Animation) AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(G.currentActivity, R.anim.text_view_anim_right_to_left));
          } else {
            textView.startAnimation((Animation) AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(G.currentActivity, R.anim.text_view_anim_left_to_right));
          }
        }
      }
    });
  }

  private boolean canScroll(HorizontalScrollView horizontalScrollView) {
    View child = (View) horizontalScrollView.getChildAt(0);
    if (child != null) {
      int childWidth = (child).getWidth();
      return horizontalScrollView.getWidth() < childWidth + horizontalScrollView.getPaddingLeft() + horizontalScrollView.getPaddingRight();
    }
    return false;

  }

text_view_anim_left_to_right.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:duration="6000"
           android:fromXDelta="-100%"
           android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
           android:repeatCount="infinite"
           android:repeatMode="restart"
           android:toXDelta="100%"/>

text_view_anim_right_to_left.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:duration="6000"
           android:fromXDelta="100%"
           android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
           android:repeatCount="infinite"
           android:repeatMode="restart"
           android:toXDelta="-100%"/>

Hope I have helped

If you want scroll text while control is focused use

<TextView ... android:ellipsize="marquee" android:singleLine="true"/>

Otherwise you should implement this yourself:

Using timer (or Handler) and setting offset to TextView
Stole this
Or maybe try this
