Setting TextView's left and right doesn't work with ellipsize

Question

When I try to set TextView's left and right property, the ellipsize property doesn't work. It just clips the object.

I am setting the left and right like this:

 textView.left = textMargin
 textView.right = Math.min(view.measuredWidth - textMargin, margin)

It has already applied ellipsize property. But, it doesn't work.

I can see the bounds are clipped:

UPDATE: It's a toolbar's default title textview. I am accessing it with reflection.

val field = Toolbar::class.java.getDeclaredField("mTitleTextView")
field.isAccessible = true

val textView: TextView? = field.get(toolbar) as TextView?

refer this link for custom toolbar where you can customize toolbar without using default toolbar.https://www.journaldev.com/9952/android-custom-action-bar-example-tutorial — Nithin, Dec 15 '17 at 07:05

Nop, I can't use this. This doesn't work well when I need to inflate menus. That's why I am trying to manipulate the field — kirtan403, Dec 15 '17 at 07:05
