Android "scroll" Text in TextView

I got the following situation: I have a String with about 40 - 50 Words and a TextView with max. 3 Lines. Is it possible to get the TextView to Display the a text snippet starting from a specific Word (not the first one) or Regex from the String? Example:

String: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna

Shown in TextView: ...consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy...

You don't need to use a ScrollView actually. Just set the android:maxLines and android:scrollbars = "vertical" properties of textview in layout xml file. Then use the TexView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod()) in the Code. Bingo!!!! It scrolls. Taken from this Answer.

you can implement the following change to your code:

urBtn.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
urBtn.setMarqueeRepeatLimit(-1);

This will set the text in the button to scroll always when focussed
