Apps single line textview in a scrollview

[Leolicos]

I have a TextView that's inside a LinearLayout that's inside a ScrollView. In my program I can dynamically change what the text is in the TextView. The problem is, I want to be able to specify when the TextView does a return (via \n), but sometimes the text is too long and needs to be scrolled horizontally; that part isn't work. here's some code

	    ScrollView scroll = new ScrollView(this);
	    scroll.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true);
	    scroll.setHorizontalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);
	    scroll.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(true);
	    scroll.setVerticalFadingEdgeEnabled(false);
	    scroll.setMeasureAllChildren(true);

	    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
            scroll.addView(layout);

	    for ( int i=0 ; i<someList.size() ; ++i )
	    {
	    	TextView tv = new TextView(this);
	    	tv.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
                tv.setText(someList.get(i)); // may need to scroll horizontally
                layout.addView(tv);
             }

Is there something I need to set maybe in the linearlayout that tells the scrollview that the textviews may be too big so it needs to scroll? or what?

Hey sorry can't actually understand why your view isn't scrolling.

But this guy below wanted a scrolling textview so implemented his own class maybe something you could use? :

Interesting! I'll look into that, but I'm not looking for my TextView to scroll, I'm looking for the whole Layout to scroll, it scrolls vertically correctly, but it doesn't scroll horizontally...
