Question

I have a layout that contains a TableLayout with three rows. Each row has a TextView and a Spinner. The Spinners’ column is set to stretch. My problem is that the Spinners are stretching off the edge of the screen when they contain a long string. I would like them to truncate the string instead. Here’s a screenshot of the problem:

and here’s the xml for the layout:

<ScrollView
