Fit TextView text on one line with WRAP_CONTENT LayoutParams

Question

Say I have a TextView with some dynamic text. This TextView is being placed inside a LinearLayout with WRAP_CONTENT LayoutParams for both width & height.

Problem is that some of the text is - breaking onto second(or third) line - wrapping. I want to avoid this.

I have tried to replace all ' '(space chars) with non-breaking space character. This hasn't helped. The text still breaks. I also cannot set the TextView's maxLines=1 because there are some newline chars in the String-data.

I am not sure if any code samples need to be included. If there;s something specific, please do ask me in a comment.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :~)

Answer 1

@Joe B. Answer is right. but android:singleLine="true" is deprecated. You need to use

android:maxLines="1"
