Android - Change a layout attribute on a button click

Question

I have a problem here.

I have a large text, that doesn't fit in the screen... So in the layout XML I have put this string:

android:ellipsize="end"

Ok, but now I want to make this TextView clickable and when I click it, I want to change the layout XML code to:

android:ellipsize="marquee"

So the text roll and people will read it.

I've searched lots os questions but none has answered that, just for 'drawable' things.

Thanks!

Use

textView.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.MARQUEE);

on textView Click.
