TextView's ellipsize not working on maxLines = 1

Question

I really cannot figure out why, but I am only able to get ellipsize working on maxLines=2 and more. I am displaying a few words of description and then a long s

Answer 1

This code works for me:

In the xml add:

• Attribute ellipsize: marquee
• Attribute lines: 1

In java:

.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
.setSelected(true);

If there is another item that request the "focus" you lose the marquee effect. The textView need the state selected to prevent this.
