Question

I’m building a new InfoWindow (google maps api v2) and I’m trying to get my layout to be perfect.
A part of that layout is this:

  <LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
  android:id="@+id/txtInfoWindowName"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
  android:ellipsize="end"
  android:singleLine="true"
  android:textColor="#ff000000"
  android:textSize="14dp"
  android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
  android:id="@+id/txtInfoWindowObstacles"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:ellipsize="end"
  android:maxLength="32"
  android:lines="1"
  android:singleLine="true"
  android:textColor="#ff7f7f7f"
  android:textSize="14dp"/>

Now, the problem is with the android:ellipsize="end".
It should draw the three dots at the end but it doesn’t do that.
Now I’m getting something like this:

TextTextTextTextTe

Instead of this:

TextTextTextTextTe...

I’m thinking it has something to do with the fact that I’m using layout_width=”wrap_content” . But I need that because I’m using a LinearLayout

Answer 1

I tried your code and they work fine, except the second TextView which has the attribute android:maxLength="32", which in this case the text cannot be ellipsized because of 32 characters limit. But if you remove it, it works as expected.
