Android :: Get Ellipsize To Work On A Multiline TextView?
Jun 10, 2009
I have a couple questions on ellipsize on the TextView...
1) Is there anyway to get ellipsize to work on a multiline TextView? So that the ellipses are shown at the end of the text, rather than at the end of the line? If not what is the best way to handle this on my own?]
2) Is there any way to change the character used for eellipsize? For example, use "... [Read More]", this obviously coincides with question 1 above since one wouldn't want to take half of the single line to say read more, but on a multiline, it would be nice to be able to have like 3 or 4 lines and then a read more? Maybe there is a better way to do this that I haven't figured out yet?

We are using TextView's Ellipsize function to scrolling text in it and there many other controls in our window. We noticed CPU would go up to 50% if text started scrolling. After digging deeper, we found all controls in our layout kept drawing when texts scrolling. We wonder why? And how to avoid all controls redrawing?

Is there a way to put a single line of static text into a TextView and allow the user to scroll over the part that is not initially visible? I have tried scrollHorizontally, but I get text that is truncated. This is the layout (that doesn't scroll).
CODE:..............
I tried setting <requestFocus/> in the layout and also tried calling requestFocus() in onCreate().

I need to implement multiline text with ellipsis with txt to be no more than two lines. Ellipsis attributes in default TextView does not seem to work for multiline text. I could implement my own text widget, but i don't know how to break text into multiple lines. In this case I could draw text line by line and draw ellipsis on second line if necessary.

I'm writing an app-widget that displays some numbers, each with label in front of it.
The layout looks like this:
.-----------------------------.
| Label1 | AAAAAAAAAAA |
| LongerLabelLabel2 | BBBBBBB |
| LongLabel3 | CCCCCCCCCC |
'-----------------------------'
There is one outer (vertical) LinearLayout, and each row is a horizontal LinearLayout with two TextViews.
The problem is that the numbers get ellipsized if the width of the label and the number is too wide for the widget. I want the labels to get ellipsized.
The above situation for instance, would end up like this:
.-----------------------------.
| Label1 | AAAAAAAAAAA |
| LongerLabelLabel2 | BBBB... |
| LongLabel3 | CCCCCCCCCC |
'-----------------------------'
instead of the desired
.---------------------------.
| Label1 | AAAAAAAAAAA |
| LongerLabelL... | BBBBBBB |
| LongLabel3 | CCCCCCCCCC |
'---------------------------'
I can't for my life figure out how to solve this. Any help is appreciated.
My current layout is the following:

Up until 1.6 the ellipsize attribute on my view above functions as I would expect. Since upgrading to 1.6 the ellipsize attribute, regardless of what I set it to (start, middle, end) seems to be ignored.

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'm trying to develop a simple application to add a caption into a image, but I have a problem.
The app is simple: I click on a TextView, an AlertDialog pops-up with a EditText, I insert some text, click at "ok" and it sets that text as the textview.
Then comes my problem: I click on a save button and it saves the image with that caption on my sd card. If it's a short text, everything's fine, but on text's that have more than one line it shows everything on only one line. So, if it's a long text, instead of breaking it according to the image's width and continuing into a new line, it just keeps going off the screen.
I'm using canvas.drawText to do it, but it doesn't support line breaks so I'm pretty lost about this.
Is there another way to do this that supports line break? Or a way to break the string into a new line and then use drawText?

I want to use the marquee effect on a TextView, but the text is only being scrolled when the TextView gets focus. That's a problem, because in my case, it can't.
I am using:
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
Is there a way to have the TextView always scroll its text? I've seen this being done in the Android Market app, where the app name will scroll in the title bar, even if it doesn't receive focus, but I couldn't find this being mentioned in the API docs.

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'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?
In the parent class:
[HIGH]private void addClothes(int menuId) {
Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]
[Code]...
then in my new activity:
[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();
[Code]...

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.

I have a problem with TextView in Android
I am making an application like Facebook. In m.facebook.com, when I open it I see they do one thing specailly.
(Alice) is writing on (BackStreetBoy1010938920) wall
Because the width of Mobile screen is small so the real message like tha
(Alice) is writing on (BackStreet
Boy10101009393) wall
I guess they use TextView for (BackStreetBoy1010938920) but I can't do like this.

I'm searching for android phones that can use video out to the tv for a research project. I'm considering the HTC Touch Pro.
Is there anything I have to do specifically to get the video out to work (for displaying my app on the tv)? or will the phone just display a running app on the tv without extra work?

I have google voice and use it for every phone call I make. I heard that there were issues with several gvoice updates, so I haven't updated google voice since 0.2.8 and it is working just fine- every call connects, no problems. Is it worth updating to the newest version of google voice with push? For those of you with 2.1 on your Eris- does google voice work for you?
