Text does not ellipsize

Question

I have a TextView set to ellipsize but when I put the text in it doesn\'t do so. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The only way I've been able to make this work is to set width="1dp", weight="1", ellipsize="end", maxLines="1" and scrollHorizontally="true". The first two have the same sort of effect as width="match_parent" without the widget expanding off the edge of the display, the remaining three settings all had to be made to get the text to ellipsize.
