here is some code, I can replicate the bug even if I strip everything down to a simple TextView.
<TextView
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="middle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="I AM VERY SMART I AM VERY SMART I AM VERY SMART"
android:textSize="16sp">
</TextView>
I wish I could post a screenshot but SE is not letting me. what happens is that the text is truncated in the middle (as intended) but with a single dot (.) rather than a full ellipsis (...)
it does this on all lollipop tablets that I own (nexus 7 and nexus 9). other devices are displaying the ellipsis properly. I have researched the issue and found various comments about people getting the same problem, but no answers.
I have the same problem as same as you.
I achieved my goal by setting:
width="85dp"
maxWidth="85dp" // same as above
maxLines="1"
Try this:
<TextView
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="middle"
android:singleLine="true"
abdroid:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:text="I AM VERY SMART I AM VERY SMART I AM VERY SMART"
android:textSize="16sp">
</TextView>

Have you tried using the next properties?

That may be the problem..
I am facing an issue in one phone (till yet). My app uses Hindi fonts. It shows well on emulator, tab, many other phones too. But one of the phone which I am using for testing purpose is showing the text going cut from sides.
I tried almost everything for putting it in the right order but none worked. Here posting the screenshots of two of my test phones and the text.
The screenshot with error:
The screenshot of other phones: and the expected one too:
What could be the reason and how can I solve it? Please let me know!!
TextView configs I am using:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/A_lbl_mandir"

android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/Abt_mandir"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#80000A"
android:textSize="35sp" />
EDIT: My complete activity xml:

android:text="#string/test"/>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
I have tried and deleted many other things especially for this phone. But unable to solve the issue!
this occurs in 4.1.2 and its documented as a bug in Google which they have fixed in 4.2.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34432
This happens with unicode fonts where the Android OS is not able to calculate the length of the text.
try this.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_below="#id/text"
android:padding="5dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:gravity="left"
android:padding="5sp"
android:text="#string/test"/>
</ScrollView>
All right! Found another phone with same issue. In that phone too, the text was clipped. I guess there is some problem with the phone. Because even popular apps like Whatsapp has got the same problem on that device. The Hindi text was cut same as shown in the images above.
Possible fix for that issue: (if someone gets that n what I am doing now.) I realised that browser shows the hindi fonts well on that. So better make a native app on html, javascript especially for such devices and view the HTML using WebView.The application will get a little slow but we have to do it Until we get the actual problem creating it.
Please note: this is not a solution, but a fix to make that work. Better known as "JUGAAD" in hindi.
On some phones (specially on Samsung ones) some custom fonts are cuted off (or clipped). I had this with custom italic font. Some say that you can edit font to add some kind of padding (i can't confirm that because my lack of knowledge of editing fonts) but:
- EditText/TextView add some padding from xml
- Ellipsize (on some devices messing with this helps displaying text correctly)
Also could you post screenshot with enabled developer options to draw layout bounds, this could help to resolve your problem if above solutions won't help
I have some RTL text (Hebrew) that I want to be aligned right inside the TextView. Currently the XML looks like this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="right"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:singleLine="false"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textDirection="rtl"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
And it acually works great on Galaxy S3 Android 4.2.2 and I even tested it on a Galaxy S1 Android 2.3.3 and it was ok too. But on some devices, for example Galaxy S2 Android 2.3.5, it's aligned left for some reason.
I searched alot and I did not find and solution to this problem, I'd be happy if someone will show me a solution within the XML layout file, but programatcly solution can work as well.
I tired with your code.. you want to placed the text in right side of textview right?...
I'm pretty to help you because, I also gone through this issue..
In your code,
android:gravity="right"
Instead of this, try this
android:gravity="end"
I think this is what you are looking for
I have a textview that should show a maximum of 5 lines and wrap the text. It should also show an ellipsis if the text is too long. The following works using Android 4.1 but not on 2.3. If I set scrollHorizontally to false, I only get 2 lines. Is there anything I can do to get the same result under 4.1?
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvDescription"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/ivIcon"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/ivIcon"
android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="5"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="16sp" />
Seems to be a known bug. Here's one solution I came across:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/6763689/753632
But that's over 2 years old. Not sure if someone came up with a better solution.
You must try android:Lines in place of android.maxLines
I'm currently testing an app on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich before releasing an update to the market. During the tests I realized that the ellipsize attribute stopped working.
I used it on a list view to truncate item titles which were to long. On Android 2.3.7 everything renders as expected. Titles that are too long get truncated and three dots are append to the end of the string. On Android 4.0 the title gets just truncated after the last word that fits completely on the screen, the rest gets skipped.
I've testes it on a Android 2.3.7 and a Android 4.0.3 phone. This behavior can even be tested in eclipse by changing the Android version in the Graphical Layout editor.
Does anyone has the same problem. Any work a rounds for this?
android:singleLine="true" works for me.
enter code here <TextView
android:id="#+id/tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:lines="1"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:fadingEdge="horizontal"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#ff4500"
android:text="Om Namah Shivaya : Om Namah Shivaya : Om Namah Shivaya : Om Namah Shivaya : Om Namah Shivaya" android:layout_marginTop="2dp">
<requestFocus
android:duplicateParentState="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
I can recall I had a similar issue and I could resolve it by setting the TextView(which had ellipsize attribute) gravity to left. But most probably this is another issue.
