Limit the size of the textview horizontally

Question

I have this text view

<TextView android:id="@+id/name"
          android:singleLine="true"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:textColor="#ffffff" 
          android:textSize="16sp"  
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>

The problem is if the text is bigger then the textview can display it just stop displaying it looks something like this |some unfinished tex| I want to have dots on the end in this way it will be more clear to the user that this is unfinished and it it is displayed only a part of the text

I would prefer something like this |Some unfinished te..|

How to implement this ?

Have you tried setting android:ellipsize paremeter to "end"?
