Textview - Max Length not working with ellipsize

Question

I am trying to create a textview so that if the number of characters goes above 22, an ellipses " . . ." would appear. However this does not work with maxLength.

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/vh_fragnotifications_postedby"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="12sp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:text="zz12345678901234567890aaaaaaaa"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/vh_fragnotifications_body"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/vh_fragnotifications_body"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="@+id/vh_fragnotifications_dateposted"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:maxLength="22"/>

How can I get the ellipses to appear while keeping the max digits of 22?

Try this

 <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:text="zz12345678901234567890aaaaaaaa"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:maxEms="11"
    />
