How to show 3 dots at the end of text in textview

For one line text with a dot but now it's Deprecated so don't use singleLine anymore

Thanks to this post I found that how to show dot after the end of text if we have more one line, it works for me :)

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

Post here this answer because all answer here are for single line not for multiline

android:ellipsize will works only with:

android:singleLine="true"

or

android:maxLines="#any number#"

android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Because maxLength truncate the text.

So you have to manage the label with code if you want to display only 50 char + dots, or let two line for the textview.

    <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:maxLines="2"
    android:scrollHorizontally="true"
    android:text="Hello developer. please check this message for long length. max length to 50 characters."
    android:textSize="20sp" />

Make a preset width for your TextView and add these attributes (Shout-out to @T-D)

android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"

The maxLines will make sure that your text wont be shown in two lines and the ellipsize will add the three dots in the end.
