Android Why EditText ellipsize doesn't work?

Question

I have added an EditText to my layout, but the ellipsize doesn't work. Can anybody help me? Thanks.

<EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:textSize="24dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Answer 1

Ellipsize="end" wont work for editable EditText so you need to make the EditText as non editable to make it work. Use the following code

<EditText
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_margin="10dp"
       android:textSize="24dp"
       android:text="A long texttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt"
       android:lines="1"
       android:scrollHorizontally="true"
       android:ellipsize="end"
       android:singleLine="true"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       tools:ignore="Deprecated" />

Answer 2

ellipsize maybe works only with

android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"

and sometimes we add one more

android:maxLines="n"
