How do I prevent a TextView, or any visual object, from wrapping to the screen and instead being chopped off the sides? Is there some XML attribute or code to do this or is it impossible to have anything overflow from the screen?

For example, you have this:

text being wrapped

But you really want this:

text being cropped

Any ideas?
