Android Textview not showing multiple lines within a list


May be this is a duplicate question,but I am asking it again because the solutions here is not working for me.I have a listview and within the list view I have 2 imageviews and a textview.Refer to the image below:

enter image description here

As you can see I cannot split the textviews into 2 lines and as a result my textview is overlapping with that of the imageview.Here is my code:

uplodefilelist.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/rl_filelist"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
    android:paddingBottom="20dp"
    android:paddingTop="20dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/fileimage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:src="@drawable/default_avatar" />

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/ll_cntactcont"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/fileimage" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvfilename"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:text="Srina Banerjee"
            android:textColor="#000000"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:maxLines="2"
            android:singleLine="false"
           />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/btnSettings"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:src="@drawable/settings"
            android:textColor="#000000"
            android:focusable="false"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="false" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

I cannot use any html format within the setText() method or I cannot do anything from java file.I have to do it from within the xml file only.I consulted our very own stack overflow and added this lines in my textview.

android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="2"
android:singleLine="false"

But as you can see the image none of them are working.Help.


Solution

  • just add 1 tag in to Textview That

     android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/btnSettings"
    

    So this old one is

     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/tvfilename"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
         android:layout_centerVertical="true"
         android:text="Srina Banerjee"
         android:textColor="#000000"
         android:textStyle="bold"
         android:ellipsize="end"
         android:maxLines="2"
         android:singleLine="false"/>
    

    Change to :

     <TextView
         android:id="@+id/tvfilename"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
         android:layout_centerVertical="true"
         android:text="Srina Banerjee"
         android:textColor="#000000"
         android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/btnSettings"
         android:textStyle="bold"
         android:ellipsize="end"
         android:maxLines="2"
         android:singleLine="false"/>
