TextView marquee WITHOUT android:layout_width="match_parent"

I am making a UI which will look like this

enter image description here

My goal is to add marquee scroll effect in highlighted text views, The parent container for the both text view is Constraint layout, Hence I am using android:layout_width="0dp" so that my view expands to its constraints that is 50-50 of the total space.

I did some research and found that I need android:layout_width="match_parent" in order to achieve marque.

My current code for marquee:

<TextView
                android:ellipsize="marquee"
                android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
                android:focusable="true"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                android:freezesText="true"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                android:gravity="start"
                android:id="@+id/row_load_list_toAddress"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
                android:text="End Location"
                android:textColor="@color/black"
                android:textSize="20sp"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/imageView5"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView13" />

Anyone please put a light on what I might be doing wrong here and what is the solution?

Inorder for the marquee to work you must set setSelected property to true in your Activity related to that layout

TextView txt = findViewById(R.id.row_load_list_toAddress);
txt.setSelected(true);

Hope this will fix your problem.
