Android: ellipsis in ICS text continues after ellipsis

I have a textual representation that I programmatically install maxLines with and then install it for android: ellipsize = "end". It works partially, but for some reason, the text that is truncated continues for several characters after the ellipsis in 4.2.2. This is actual text that is truncated, not new characters.

It also does not work properly in 2.3.6, since it adds an ellipsis for each section with line breaks or "\ n".

I do not use any custom fonts, I saw that this caused problems before.

Here I calculate and set the maximum lines:

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:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/fragmentTestLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/restaurantImage" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:adjustViewBounds="true" android:src="@drawable/test" android:layout_marginTop="-10dp" android:layout_marginRight="20dp" android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/squareBlack" android:layout_alignRight="@id/restaurantImage" android:layout_alignTop="@id/restaurantImage" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/square_black_small" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewPosition" android:layout_alignRight="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_alignTop="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_margin="1dp" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="This is a test" android:textSize="25sp" android:textColor="#a6cbff" android:textStyle="bold" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/squareBlue" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_alignTop="@id/squareBlack" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/square_blue_small" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewPosition1" android:layout_alignRight="@id/squareBlue" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/squareBlue" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/squareBlue" android:layout_alignTop="@id/squareBlue" android:layout_margin="1dp" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="7.5" android:textSize="25sp" android:textColor="#902515" android:textStyle="bold" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/restaurantName" android:layout_alignLeft="@id/restaurantImage" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/restaurantImage" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Restaurant Name" android:textSize="25sp" android:textColor="#fff" android:textStyle="bold" android:background="@drawable/greybar" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewPosition2" android:layout_below="@id/restaurantImage" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="February 15, 2013" android:textColor="#555" android:textStyle="bold" android:textSize="15sp" /> <Button android:id="@+id/readReview" android:background="@drawable/readreview" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:text="Read the Review" android:textColor="#fff" android:textColorHighlight="#ccc" android:textSize="15sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewPosition3" android:layout_below="@id/textViewPosition2" android:layout_above="@id/readReview" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="15sp" android:textColorLink="#C90404" android:layout_marginRight="15dp" android:layout_marginLeft="15dp" android:textColor="#000" /> </RelativeLayout>

I solved it programmatically, but I'm not sure if this is the best solution, since it looks like a hack. It seems to work.

  ViewTreeObserver observer = reviewView.getViewTreeObserver(); observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() { @Override public void onGlobalLayout() { int maxLines = (int) reviewView.getHeight() / reviewView.getLineHeight(); reviewView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this); if(reviewView.getLineCount() > maxLines) { int lineEndIndex = reviewView.getLayout().getLineEnd(maxLines - 1); String text = reviewView.getText().subSequence(0, lineEndIndex-3) +" ..."; reviewView.setText(text); } } });
