Textview wrapping in Android

I have to display the Textview in Android getting from xml feed.

Let us take this is my Textview:

Mallika Sherawat's upcoming movie Dirty Politics

Here I have created the layout dynamically for these Textview:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams textLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 50);
textLayoutParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setSingleLine(false);
tv.setEllipsize(null);
tv.setHorizontallyScrolling(false);
tv.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#a7a9ac"));
tv.setText(Appscontent.Sub_arraylisttwo.get(j));
tv.setLayoutParams(textLayoutParams);
tv.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#414042"));

I have mentioned the width 50 here.

So the text is displayed well on small content Textview.some time I have more content Textview which means how can I display the Textview like below:

Mallika Sherawat's 
upcoming movie Dirty...

I mean the text is have to display maximum 2 lines only after the text is extended means simply add the ... content like above example. How can I do this?

Solution

  • Try with:

    tv.setMaxLines(2);
tv.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END);
