Is there a way to check if a TextView's text is truncated

Question

Is there a way to check whether a TextView\'s text is truncated in my code?

Answer 1

You can use method: getEllipsisCount

 public static boolean isTextTruncated( String text, TextView textView )
    {
        if ( textView != null && text != null )
        {

            Layout layout = textView.getLayout();
            if ( layout != null )
            {
                int lines = layout.getLineCount();
                if ( lines > 0 )
                {
                    int ellipsisCount = layout.getEllipsisCount( lines - 1 );
                    if ( ellipsisCount > 0 )
                    {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }

        }
        return false;
    }

Answer 2

Don't think so but you can read here to properly handle it if you only want the text to use one line.

Answer 3

Check out this topic

... You can create a Paint object with TextView2's text size and use breakText() to measure how many characters will fit in your TextView2's width...

It works for me
