In android by default we can scroll the text in horizontal using marquee in layout, but if we want to scroll the text in vertical its not possible by default. So here we will learn to create a custom TextView which will auto-scroll in vertical direction. Source Code:  VerticalScrollingTextView-Android Create a AutoScrollingTextView.class which extends TextView: @SuppressLint ( "AppCompatCustomView" ) public class AutoScrollingTextView extends TextView { private static final float DEFAULT_SPEED = 65.0f ; public Scroller scroller ; public float speed = DEFAULT_SPEED ; public boolean continuousScrolling = true; public AutoScrollingTextView (Context context) { super (context) ; init( null, 0 ) ; scrollerInstance(context) ; } public AutoScrollingTextView (Context context , AttributeSet attrs) { super (context , attrs) ; init(attrs , 0 ) ; scr...
