I fixed by using

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"

hope this works for you too

Yes there are provisions for marquee text .Check this http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setEllipsize(android.text.TextUtils.TruncateAt)

Use this

    TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.txtArticleTitle);
    tt.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
    tt.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(1);

Also check http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setMarqueeRepeatLimit(int) & you are done!

In case you have "lengthy text ", use height as wrap_content and it will break the line, and adjust the height as per content
