            android:hint="Select Language"
            android:singleLine="true"

Answer 1

I have Changed MaxLength to MaxEms in your TextView its Working now use this.

<TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Select Language"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:maxEms="30"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:padding="4dp"
            android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
            android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
            android:id="@+id/selected_language" />
