I have a textview that I am programmatically setting maxLines with and then setting it to android:ellipsize="end". It works partially, but for some reason the text that is being truncated continues for a few characters after the ellipsis in 4.2.2. It is the actual text that is being truncated, not new characters.
It also is not working properly in 2.3.6 as it adds an ellipsis for each section with a line break or "\n".
I am not using any custom fonts, I have seen that has caused problems before.
Here is where I calculate and set the maxlines:
final TextView reviewView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textViewPosition3);
ViewTreeObserver observer = reviewView.getViewTreeObserver();
observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int maxLines = (int) reviewView.getHeight() / reviewView.getLineHeight();
reviewView.setMaxLines(maxLines);
reviewView.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.END);
reviewView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
//reviewView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
});
Here is my xml:
