Is there a way to disable line wrap in a List View in android?

Question

I have a list view holding text views and when the text gets too big, it wraps and the item takes up two spaces. I am wondering if there is a way to turn off line wrap in this case, and if it should be done in the textview or the listview.

Answer 1

Set android:singleLine attribute in TextView to true

Answer 2

This is just a clarification (I don't have the reputation points to comment yet).

The XML item upon which you need to set the android:singleLine attribute is the one used for each individual item, not the ListView node (which doesn't support the android:singleLine attribute.

The individual item TextView is the one that you'd pass to the ArrayAdapter constructor used for the ListView.
