Android TextView unwanted padding issue

I am having issue with android TextView. having unwanted spacein TextView,
the space is coming only sometimes. For your reference attached image above, you can see some extra space on the right end of TextView. Please help me guys.
here is the xml code
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:autoLink="all"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:padding="0dp"
android:gravity="start"
android:text="#{message.message}"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textColorLink="#android:color/white"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
android:textSize="14sp"
tools:text="this is the problem i am having please helpme to find a solution" />

you can use this library to justify textview
https://github.com/navabi/JustifiedTextView
<ir.noghteh.JustifiedTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:padding="25dp"
xmlns:noghteh="http://noghteh.ir"
noghteh:text="text here"
noghteh:textColor="#color/text"
noghteh:textSize="18sp"/>

How to make TextView in Android wrap and adjust text beautifully?

When text is small then I get this:
But when text is big I get this:
Is it possible that text adjust itself by maybe better using spaces or decreasing little size automatically?
This is my TextView xml:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/seaGreen"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="35sp" />

For that you need to use external library for that, else you can set gravity as center

Android: Need Ellipsis for Multiple TextViews in Relative Layout

I am new to Android, i have below task.
I want to align three TextViews adjacent to each other with ellipsis if the text is too long . Currently i am using below code which aligns my TextView adjacent to each other, but my problem is if the text is too long, the below code not putting the ellipsis. i got some trick to use both toleftof and torightof from here, but in my case it going to circular dependency as mentioned here.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/reminderText">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/noteTagOne"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/noteTagTwo"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/noteTagOne"
android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/noteTagThree"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/noteTagTwo"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I want output as,
Tag1... Tag2... Tag3...
Basically, i want some ideas, whether in xml i can achieve this or need to do it programmatically, since TextView text's are dynamic i cannot fix maxLength, sometimes only single tag may exist, at that time it should take full text.
Note: I am developing Android project using C# in Xamarin.
Added code is for the above highlighted part. I fixed overlapping of tagsicon & text. Now only two issues.
1) Last tag is overlapping with right aligned image.
2) If TextView texts are short, gap is shown in-between the tags
How to fix it?

try this solution
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/noteTagOne"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxWidth="100dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Tag111111111111111111"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/noteTagTwo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/noteTagOne"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxWidth="100dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Tag2222222222222222"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/noteTagThree"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/noteTagTwo"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxWidth="100dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Tag3333333333333333"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

Use this android:ellipsize="marquee" it will work

android:ellipsize="marquee"
or
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"

Android TextView ellipsize

I'm using Android TextView to display the name of the CATALOG.
I added the specific width for TextView outer layout (150dp).
I wants to display "..." when text has more length.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/textview_layout"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/catalog_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textColor="#color/blue"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Catalog Name: Furniture and Books
My result showing:
Furniture an...
But my expectation result is
Furniture and... (or) Furniture...
I wants to show the "..." when there is no space for word in catalog name.

Please check whether this works
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/textview_layout"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/catalog_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Furniture and Books"
android:textColor="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"
android:textScaleX="1.1"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

You can try this in java code, if it's really necessary.
String str = "Furniture and Books";
str = str.substring(0,8)+"...";
text_view.setText(str);

try to set the EMS for your text view, like :
<TextView
android:id="#+id/catalog_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textColor="#color/blue"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxEms="4"
/>
by the way, using "sp" in fonts is a good practice ... any ways
where EMS is the size of characters your textview should hold, in practice, 4 EMS makes the text view holds 8 charachters (you can test it with your devices), and if you want to give it a fixed width based on the numer of charachters, you can use
android:ems="4"
instead

Textview show partial text

I have a TextView in which I must load a message. The TextView has maximum 2 lines (android:lines="2"). The message may contain an '\n' character.
How should I load the message in that TextView so that words would be wrapped and if in those 2 lines message does not fit, at the end of last visible word I must add three dots (...)? How can I detect the length of text that fits in that TextView?
My code for TextView is
<TextView
a:id="#+id/tv_message"
a:gravity="top"
a:layout_width="wrap_content"
a:layout_height="wrap_content"
a:layout_alignParentTop="true"
a:layout_toRightOf="#id/iv_icon"
a:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
a:layout_marginTop="4dp"
a:paddingRight="7dp"
a:paddingBottom="5dp"
a:textSize="12sp"
a:typeface="sans"
a:ellipsize="marquee"
a:lines="2"
a:maxLines="2"
a:textColor="#android:color/black"
/>
But in application, text appears on two lines, even if there is a line containing the signature. The message is like: "message text" + "\nSignature" but the message can be on 1,2,3 lines, depending of message length.

In XML, use the property android:ellipsize="marquee"for the TextView.
Your TextView can be defined like:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="2"
android:lines="2"
android:ellipsize="marquee"/>
Edit: I've tried the following code, adapted from yours:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/rlt_news"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/cell_background"
android:padding="5dip" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="Name"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/rss_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_title"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dip"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:maxHeight="100dip"
android:maxWidth="100dip"
android:src="#drawable/rss_cell_icon"
android:visibility="visible" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_description"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/rss_icon"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:gravity="top"
android:lines="2"
android:maxLines="2"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingRight="7dp"
android:text="Description of the news, just the short paragraph, \nSignature, to see how it works if there are more than two lines"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:typeface="sans" />
</RelativeLayout>
And here is the output:

Use android:ellipsize="end" instead of "marquee" that did it for me.

Gabi,
I was also having the same problem. To enable ellipsize on a textview with 2 lines I use the following parameters:
android:maxLines="2" // You already got this one
android:ellipsize="end" // also this one
android:singleLine="false" // This is the command that solves your problem.
Unfortunately I got a new scenario for my app. I have to use 3 lines with ellipsize and this configuration only works for 2 lines... :( Good luck

If you set text from code, than you must set options once again!
textView.setText(content);
textView.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.END);
textView.setLines(5);
textView.setMaxLines(5);

It works for me when I set it in code not in the XML layout
holder.txtDescription.setText(text);
holder.txtDescription.setMaxLines(3);
holder.txtDescription.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.END);

String s = "line1 \nline2 \nline3";
String [] lines = s.split("\n");
String twolines;
if (lines.length > 2) {
twolines = lines[0] + "\n" + lines[1] + "...";
} else {
twolines = s;
}
This should give you the desired result, just use
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(twolines);

<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform" />
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform" did the trick for me. Text size reduces to fit available space but complete text is displayed.
