具有水平滚动但没有焦点的自定义TextView

Question

I need a single line Text view, without borders where I can enter the text from my custom buttons. I do not want to open the soft keyboard, so want this to be non-focusable. It's just as I enter the text through my custom input buttons and that should appear in the Text view along with the cursor at the end of the text.

I tried using TextView but it does not scroll horizontally as I enter the long text. I want this to scroll to the end of the text. If there is longer text, I should be able to scroll manually to view the same.

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:ellipsize="marquee"
    android:focusable="false"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:layout_margin="3sp"
    android:text="@string/empty"
    android:gravity="end"
    android:id="@+id/gossipTextView"
    android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background_normal"
    android:layout_gravity="start|top"/>

Any suggestions?

In order to remove the focus from the texView you have to add the following line of code in your AndroidMenifest.xml for that specific Activity in which the textView is included.

    <activity
        android:name=".yourActivity"
        android:label="Registration"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
    </activity>

In order to make single line scrollable text add 2 lines in your

android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
