I have a normal TextView which has multiple lines. I set its max number of lines to 3. I'd like it to show an ellipsis at the end if the text is too long:
TextView tv = new TextView(context);tv.setLines(tv); tv.setText("some really long text.");
I tried the set ellipsis calls but it doesn't seem to do anything - the text appears the same way. How do we get this to work?

What i m trying to do is, just showing numbers from 1 to 100 in a textview, randomly, and keep on changing until the view is active.
But i am not able to continuously change random number when view is active.
it is just like a timer showing decrement from 10 to 0, but the only difference is i need to show random numbers in between 0 to 100.
How can show this on my view. this is how i am trying to do something..may be a better approch will help me out. Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering how I can create a custom pop-up like the one in the screenshot below (borrowed from the Swype keyboard), where I can have a couple of buttons, which each commit a string to the currently "connected" TextView (via a InputConnection). Please note: this is an InputMethodService and not an ordinary Activity. I already tried launching a separate Activity with Theme:Dialog. However, as soon as that one opens I lose my focus with the TextView and my keyboard disappears (and with that my InputConnection is gone).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI started a test project just to get this down. No changes to main.xml. I want to create a widget-sized ImageView (80x100) that contains a Bitmap converted from a TextView. Yes, that sounds very roundabout but this is just for testing; in the end I want the ImageView to have a background image and multiple TextViews. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, but nothing is being pushed to the screen.
Is it a problem with declaring the TextView/ImageView and passing it "this" in the constructor? Is it a problem with my layoutParams? Here is the code:
package com.doaf.testproject;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;

I'm relatively new to Android, and pretty lost with this one.
I have a TextView. I want it to ellipsize if longer than its available width. This does not work unless the input string has no spaces... can anyone provide an example of this working? I've tried different combinations of:
singleLine="true"
maxLines="1"
scrollHorizontally="false"
none of these have any effect. Again, if I supply a string that has no spaces in it, then the ellipsis appears correctly. What am I missing? I've tried this on 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, all same problem.
i am trying to get the following code to work on an androind 2.1 phone (HTC Sense UI):
h1 {font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden; however, the text-overflow property does not seem to work. has anybody else had this problem, or found a way to work around it?
I am required to use custom fonts in my application.
Problem: For ListViews that contain rows with Multi-Line TextViews having ellipsize property set to true, I can see some illegible characters after the ellipsis. Apparently Android pads the String(in TextView) with some characters(ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE) unknown to my custom font. Single line TextView seem to work just fine.
What is the best way to hide these characters or remove the padding?
Also, is there any variant of Helvetica font, freely available that would have ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE character?
I want to do something like that. For example, I have a textview with String
Alibaba love Mary so muck. In that String alibaba and Mary have a event to open something but I can't know how to use event for Mary and Alibaba seperately
I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.
