prevent undesired line wrapping in TextView

Question

My textview is wrapping text despite the settings lines=\"1\" and ellipsise=\"end\". What do I need to do in addition to prevent the line wrapping hand

Answer 1

Add the following to your TextView definition:

android:maxLines="1"

Answer 2

The option shown below is deprecated

android:singleLine="true"

Instead use this:

android:maxLines="1"

Answer 3

From TextView Ellipsize (...) not working :

 <TextView android:id="@+id/lName"
      android:style="@style/autoscroll" />

And in your style.xml

 <style name="autoscroll">
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">marquee</item>
    <item name="android:marqueeRepeatLimit">marquee_forever</item>
    <item name="android:focusable">true</item>
    <item name="android:focusableInTouchMode">true</item>
    <item name="android:scrollHorizontally">true</item>
</style>
