How To Activate A Marquee For A TextView Inside A Focused ViewGroup?

Here's a layout:

Solution 1:

OK, I've found some kind of way. I added android:focusable="true" to first_tv, and instantiated first_tv_container as an extended version of RelativeLayout in which I declare descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" and define the following override:

@Override
protected void onFocusChanged(boolean gainFocus, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect)
{
    super.onFocusChanged(gainFocus, direction, previouslyFocusedRect);

    setSelected(gainFocus);
    dispatchSetSelected(gainFocus);
}

Exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to avoid, but that will do for now.
