TextView Text clips

Question

In the above image the gravity is set to right, don't know why the text slices out at the end.

TextView code is as shown below

<TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:text="Month/Day/Year"
    android:id="@+id/textView7"
    android:onClick="onClickDateField"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView6"
    android:layout_below="@+id/genderRadioGroup"
    android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
    style="@style/FormFont"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:textSize="@dimen/form_date"
    android:background="#ffffab5d" />

Style code is also listed below.

<style name="FormFont">
    <item name="android:fontFamily">Roboto-Bold</item>
    <item name="android:textStyle">italic|bold</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#009ACD</item>
</style>

Also, dimension is

<dimen name="form_date">35dp</dimen>

Answer 1

android:layout_width="fill_parent", gives you a rectangle for wrapped content rendering. All will work well for normal text (non-italic).

Once you have italic text enabled, the wrapped text will try to fit into the rectangle and hence the rightmost character will be cut off unless its un-cut-able.

Solution 1 :

you can add padding to TextView field like

android:paddingRight="3dp" 

Solution 2 :

you can add just extra space to the end of the text. If you add \u0020 to the end of the Text.
