Question

I am using ellipseize in my text view. From here, it said it should truncated.
But I don’t see it get truncted. Basically, I want 2 textfields next to each other.
txt1 on the right and txt2 on the left. I want the txt2 truncated when it is too long. But what I am seeing now is it is overlapping the text of txt1.

        <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/one"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txt1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
            android:textColor="?android:attr/textColorPrimary"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txt2"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@id/txt1"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            />

        </RelativeLayout>

I think you want android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/txt1" in txt2, meaning txt2 is to the left of txt1. Looks like you are trying to layout to the right of a view which is aligned with the right of the parent currently.
