Hi,
I have a listView with custom objects defined by the xml-layout below. I want the textView with id "info" to be ellipsized on a single line, and I've tried using the attributes
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
without success.
If I set the layout_width to a fixed width like e.g.
android:layout_width="100px"
the text is truncated fine. But for portability reasons this is not an acceptable solution.
Can you spot the problem?
