ellipsis

I have a multi-line TextView that has android:ellipsize="end" set. I would like to know, however, if the string I place in there is actually too long (so that I may make sure the full string is shown elsewhere on the page). I could use TextView.length() and find about what the approximate length of string will fit, but since it's multiple lines, the TextView handles when to wrap, so this won't always work. Any ideas? Thorstenvv You can get the layout of the TextView and check the ellipsis count per line. For an end ellipsis, it is sufficient to check the last line, like this: Layout l =

.flex-container { display: flex; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; } <h1>Flexible Boxes</h1> <div class="flex-container" style="height: 12%; width:14%"> ThisIsASampleText </div> Output: ThisIsASamp Expected: ThisIsASam... When i remove the flex property it is working fine. I would like to know why the flex affect the ellipsis. TIA Your problem here is the lack of "flex-children". These would need to contain the styles to truncate an element, not the parent container. Try moving the truncate properties to a separate .flex-child class like so: .flex-child { white-space

Consider the following example: ( live demo here ) $(function() { console.log("width = " + $("td").width()); }); td { border: 1px solid black; width: 50px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; } <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>Hello Stack Overflow</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> The output is: width = 139 , and the ellipsis doesn't appear. What am I missing here? Apparently, adding: td { display: block; /* or inline-block */ } solves the problem as well. Another possible solution is to

This came up in Hidden features of Python , but I can't see good documentation or examples that explain how the feature works. nosklo You'd use it in your own class, since no builtin class makes use of it. Numpy uses it, as stated in the documentation . Some examples here . In your own class, you'd use it like this: >>> class TestEllipsis(object): ... def __getitem__(self, item): ... if item is Ellipsis: ... return "Returning all items" ... else: ... return "return %r items" % item ... >>> x = TestEllipsis() >>> print x[2] return 2 items >>> print x[...] Returning all items Of course, there is

Where can I find documentation on the usage of ... in functions? Examples would be useful. John Zwinck The word used to describe ... is "ellipsis." Knowing this should make searching for information about the construct easier. For example, the first hit on Google is another question on this site: How to use R's ellipsis feature when writing your own function? A little example to get you started. f <- function(x, ...) { dots <- list(...) #1 if(length(dots) == 0) return(NULL) cat("The arguments in ... are\n") print(dots) f(...) #2 } f(1,2,3,"a", list("monkey")) The function, f , stores all but
