How do I prevent a textview from expanding but also prevent words being cut off?

Question

What I have so far

I want to prevent the Location textview from expanding beyond a certain point. I have achieved that by using barriers in my constraintlayout. Now i want to prevent any words from being shown that are cutoff by this barrier(as you can see in the picture). Is there any way to achieve this?

It would be helpful for my usecase as i show closest geocoded location first(spicy jalapeno) so if the most general geocoded location(most likely country and postal code) is cut off it wouldn't matter...

Answer 1

You can add below attributes to TextView:

android:lines="2"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"  // or false

will append "..." at the end.
