Android single line TextView without the dots

Question

Is it possible to have a single line TextView that cuts off at the nearest pixel and does not add three dots?

You got any solution for this? – Geethu Nov 11 '15 at 06:32 — Geethu, Nov 11 '15 at 06:32

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

according to Eclipse's documentation singleLine is "* Deprecated: This attribute is deprecated and is replaced by the textMultiLine flag in the inputType attribute. Use caution when altering existing layouts, as the default value...." i used it without and works fine on android 2.1 :) – max4ever May 31 '11 at 14:27
`inputType` on `TextView`? Isn't that or EditText? – Sourabh Mar 31 '15 at 13:47
Didn't work with me, text still shows ellipsis (left cell pushes right cell to the right so text in right cell shows ellipses). – Jose Manuel Abarca Rodríguez Apr 27 '15 at 18:44
setting android:ellipsize="none" in XML is enough. – Kai Wang Mar 17 '16 at 18:18

You should just be able to set the android:ellipsize property to false on your TextView in xml.
