Android :: TextView Automatically Truncate Last 3 Char Of String

Nov 3, 2009

If a String is longer than the TextView's width it automatically wraps onto the next line. I can avoid this by using android:singleLine (deprecated) or by setting android:inputType="text". What I now need is something that replaces the last 3 characters of my String with "...". Since I'm not using a monospace font this will always be different depending on the letters used in my String. So I'm wondering what's the best way to get the last 3 characters of a String in a TextView and replace them. Maybe there's already something implemented in the Android framework, since this must me a common problem.

Android :: How To "truncate" Text Inside Textview In Phone?

Nov 4, 2010

I created a simple Java function to truncate a string to be displayed in my list view. I am displaying a news title and below this a news summary. I would like to have the same behavior as the image below. Currently, i am truncating the news title with 45 chars and then appending "..." at the end of it. However, when I change the orientation to landscape, the title could appear without being truncated. I don't think the app below truncates the news title, but it keeps the title in a single line and automatically "truncates". How can I achieve this behavior in my app?

Android :: Fix TextView Width By String?

Oct 18, 2010

I think the answer to this question is probably so simple, but I'm struggling....

I have a TableLayout with multiple columns. I want the last column to be of a fixed width, but I want to define that width to just be able to hold the widest possible string from my program. i.e. it is always wide enough to contain "THIS STRING" without wrapping, or wasting any space.

I would like to do this as I have these TableLayouts within a ListView, so it looks very poor when the last column is of variable widths.

I have tried obtaining the string width, even going so far as to put it into a TextView, call getTextSize() then setWidth() on all appropriate TextViews. The problem I hit there is that gettextSize() returns pixels, but setWidth uses ScaledPixels.

I'm sure there is a really simple solution. Can anyone help?

Android :: Avoiding String Allocation In TextView.setText()

Dec 28, 2009

On Android 1.5, using the Allocation Tracker I see that every time I call TextView.setText() with a StringBuilder as first argument, a String gets allocated from the following call stack (first line is last call):

java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder toString java.lang.StringBuilder toString android.text.TextUtils stringOrSpannedString android.widget.TextView setText

I tried specifying the buffer type with setText(strBuilder, TextView.BufferType.NORMAL) but it doesn't change anything.

Is there a way to avoid this allocation?

I have an object on my main.xml layout file called thefact that is TextView. I also have a string called sharefact. I want to save what text is in the TextView into the sharefact string. I can't do:

sharefact = thefact

Or anything similar to that because it would want me to convert sharefact into a textview.

Android :: Android - Updating TextView String Through AIDL Service

Aug 12, 2010

I have an app that uses a TabHost. Several of the Tabs share a common HUD. I am using a service to periodically update those values by calling an AIDL function when ready.

However, since several of the Tabs are using the same HUD I would like to abstract that part out.

I thought about having the HUD.xml use a String resource as it's value and then the abstracted class can update the String resource. However, apparently Android can not update String resources programatically.

The only alternative solution I see would be using SharedPreference.

I have concerns accessing a Database everytime the value is refreshed.

Android :: Is There Any Unicode Single Char Guaranteed To Be Available In All Appliances

Aug 27, 2010

In some cases I have messages, typically shown in a toast message, where there are three trailing periods. For instance, "bla bla bla. Please wait...". Note that this is _not_ an elipsis, as the string is not truncated. The problem is that sometimes the string is wrapped at the end of line and I get two periods in the first line, a newline, and then a single orphaned period in the next line.

I'd like to have the "..." not broken by any means. How can this be done in a reliable way? E.g. is there any Unicode single char guaranteed to be available in all Android appliances that gets rendered as three periods?

Android :: Java Datetime Values From String To Long To String

Oct 1, 2010

In Android, capturing date from datepicker and storing as string in sqlite. Sorting by date doesn't work because they're strings (unless I'm doing it wrong.I've googled this issue for ~5 days, and it looks like there should be a way to capture the date from the date picker, convert it to a Long, store it in sqlite as a Long, select and sort on the Long date value, then convert the Long back to a "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display. I've tried various combinations of parse statements, Date, FormatDate, etc. with no luck at all.On activity start, get today's date and display it in button which calls the datepicker.Capture new date from datepicker (if one is entered), save it as a long to sqlite.On opening an activity showing a listview of records, select from sqlite with orderby on date (Long), convert Long to "mm/dd/yyyy" string for display in ListView.
