"Ellipsize" only shows one dot

Question

On my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, behavior is OK, it shows three dots, but in Samsung S2, it shows only one dot. There is only one layout file:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textViewOfferTitle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/textViewRedemptionDate"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textColor="@color/pontai_dark_gray"
    android:textSize="@dimen/ndp_font_size" />

This is the example:

Has anyone seen this?

Answer 1

There is no guarantee on how text will be ellipsized (a single dot is a little misleading if you ask me, but it can be interpreted as an abreviation). If you want to ensure the "three-dots" behavior, you are free to subclass TextViewand add your custom behavior. An example can be seen on this SO question (just do not bother with the "multiple line" part of the code). Long story short, a single dot for ellipsis should not be an issue.

Answer 2

remove

android:singleLine="true"

and try

android:lines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"

It works for me.
