I have own implementation of marquee class since the user can decide the marquee behavior (No scroll, scroll once, scroll repeat) for the text in my music app. The problem arise whenever user starts to play the songs since it continuously update timer text (id:tv_playtime) in the layout.

I want to control the scrolling behavior of marqueetext1 here, which is working fine when the song is paused (Since timer text field is not updating).
I've tried similar problems but none of them are working for me
TextView restarts Marquee when changing another TextView in same LinearLayout
Setting of TextView stops marquee scrolling of other TextView
Android, RelativeLayout restarts Marquee-TextView when changing ImageView in same RelativeLayout
Note: Am using gestures for media player control (Next, previous, play, pause)
My assumption is its happening because of the layout since I've done a through debugging in custom Marquee class whose properties are not affecting the marquee restart here. I've override onFocusChanged, onWindowFocusChanged and isFocused methods in my derived Marquee class to make the Textview all focused.What am missing here?
My timer was overlapping on marquee text fields; so limiting the width of the timer text view solved the issue.
