I have a horizontal LinearLayout containing a TextView followed by a Spinner next to it. This LinearLayout is dynamically
For me, this solution worked like a charm.
The height and width of my outermost layout was set dynamically, so the TextView contained within got it's text cut even if I set android:maxLines in my xml (for different devices it was behaving differently).
After trying out different methods, finally I got a solution that fixed my issue.
Textview:
public class CustomTextView extends androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView {
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
// set fitting lines to prevent cut text
int fittingLines = h / this.getLineHeight();
if (fittingLines > 0) {
this.setLines(fittingLines);
this.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
}
}
}
xml:
