android:ellipsize="end"

Answer 2

You should play with ellipsize attribute of the TextView.Check below:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tempF"
    android:text="@string/tempF"
    android:layout_width="146dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="#cccccc"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textSize="92dp"
    android:fontFamily="serif"
    android:gravity="right"
    android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
    android:layout_gravity="top|left"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    />

Answer 3

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv_desc"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@color/colorGray"
    android:textSize="@dimen/_18dp"
    android:padding="@dimen/_2dp"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:text="@string/desc" />

Answer 4

This is the purpose of "ellipsize" - truncating a portion of text to indicate additional text.

In you case, you may simply need to add something like:

android:ellipsize="end"

or you might need to go deeper:

Automatically ellipsize a string in Java

Or look at this:

android ellipsize multiline textview

The idea behind extending the class is that you can customize the behavior of the TextView when the text content exceeds the space provided. For example, you can give it the appearance the it "bleeds over" by removing padding, etc. An ellipsis is an indicator that is commonly used to explain "there's more text that you can't see" - this is how it would look:

This is really a really long...

(the 3 periods are the ellipsis - your text goes the opposite direction, but it should still work)

With a custom TextView, you could change the "..." to nothing or anything else you want (even an image, which I've done).

You could also marquee the text:

Answer 5

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:background="#000000" />

It works.

Answer 6

Since android:singleLine is deprecated. We can use this line android:maxLines

Can do like this.

android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
