How to show 3 dots at the end of text in textview

Question

I know this question is asked many times, i have gone through all the solutions but still the problem is same.

i want my text length to be of 50 characters. now it is coming in 2 lines.

Below is what i did:

 <TextView             android:id="@+id/notification_Message"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_below="@+id/notification_head"             android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"             android:layout_margin="10dp"             android:gravity="center"             android:ellipsize="end"             android:maxLength="50"             android:text=" Hello developer. please check this message for long length. max length to 50 characters. "                 android:textSize="20sp" /> 

The text here is just a sample text i have added. it is not showing 3 dots at end rather showing message upto 50 characters. i have tried max lines also, single line false also. but no positive result. I also don't want to handle this thing programmatically by adding three dots logically.

Please help

Answer 1

Make a preset width for your TextView and add these attributes (Shout-out to @T-D)

android:ellipsize="end" android:maxLines="1" 

The maxLines will make sure that your text wont be shown in two lines and the ellipsize will add the three dots in the end.

Old Answer

android:ellipsize="end" android:singleLine="true" 

Answer 2

For one line text with a dot but now it's Deprecated so don't use singleLine anymore

Thanks to this post I found that how to show dot after the end of text if we have more one line, it works for me :)

android:ellipsize="end" android:maxLines="2" 

Post here this answer because all answer here are for single line not for multiline
