Hey there,
I found something strange about ellipsize="marquee" on my Galaxy Nexus...or
better...it doesn't work. Instead of seeing nice fading edges at the end of
the word (when the word doesn't fit the view of course), you get the normal
dots ("...").
After some digging through the ICS source code I found, in the
ViewConfiguration class, this (which enables/disables the fading edge for
marquee):
mFadingMarqueeEnabled =
res.getBoolean(com.android.internal.R.bool.config_ui_enableFadingMarquee);
For some reason on the Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0.1) this is actually
"false". Do you have any idea on why is that?
I also tried with Android 4.0.3 on the Nexus S, with the same results.
As a test, I tried using Reflection to force the value
of mFadingMarqueeEnabled to true. And while it does work in my own
Activities, in doesn't work on AppWidgets (and that's where I'm actually
using this).
Do you know if it's actually possible somehow to change the boolean value
of com.android.internal.R.bool.config_ui_enableFadingMarquee? (I believe
not... :( )
On the emulator (tested both with Android 4.0 and 4.0.3) this is actually
set to "true".
If you have an ICS device could you check if fading edges work for you? (a
quick way to check this is to place on your homescreen an app with a long
name - e.g. "News & Weather" - and see if it shows ".." at the end of the
name, or if it fades nicely).
Thank you,
Cheers,
Yuvi
