Answer 1

You can use two TextView's. In one TextView show part of text and in the second TextView use the following code. I think ellipse will display data in one line and after that it ellipses. If you use ellipse i donot htink you can get two lines of data in TextView. Thats why I suggested you to use two TextView's. In the last TextView use ellipse
