I am attempting to implement the layout shown below:
i.e. 2 rows of text information. Each row has a label (static text) for the first column, then dynamic info text displayed afterwards. Additionally, the second row will have a small image (same height/width as per the text size) which should be appended to the end of the info text.
The difficulty comes when I attempt to truncate the info sections when they are too large for the screens. I can successfully use the combination below:
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
which will add "..." if the text would spill outside of the parent view. But for the second view, I would like to always leave space so that the image is always displayed, and in such a way that the image is anchored to the end of the info text without a gap (i.e. not fully to the right)
e.g.:
and
I can't get this to work though - the text always continues to the end of the layout and the image is not displayed, i.e.:
The only way I can fix this is by hardcoding a maxWidth, but obviously I need this to work for a variety of screen dimensions.
Current code below (including the maxWidth setting in place):
