I have ellipsize working for multiline text. I had to write my own
ellipsize function to do it. I wanted to replace the "..." with
"...Read More" so my implementation is highly customized. A tip, you
can clone the ellipsize function from the AOSP then use it directly.
The problem appears to be not in the ellipsize code itself but in
somewhere in how the TextView tells its size to the ellipsize
function. I have not tracked down exactly where this is happening and
since I don't have a build environment setup for AOSP, it would be
hard for me to test it anyway. I should revisit my implementation and
see if I can clean it up for more generic use.
