Setting Ellipsize on TextView reduces lines shown by one (instead of only ellipsizing last)

Question

when I am using TextView with singleLine="true" and ellipsize="end"(my top TextView), it works well

Answer 1

Use the following to get a multiline textview with ellipsis on the last line :

android:maxLines="4"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="false"

Replace 4 with the number of lines you want. Hope it helps !
