@Chris, I can't even get the simple TextView example you posted to ellipsize - I just immediately get a stack overflow exception. If I get rid of "singleLine=true", then at least it doesn't crash, however the ellipsize won't be there! This is the only way I can get ANY ellipsis to appear - by supplying a string without spaces!:
<TextView android:text="Loremsdfsldkjfsdkljfdslkjfsdkljflsdkjfklsdjlfjslkjfkldsjfdlskjfl" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ellipsize="end" android:maxLines="1" /> that just does not seem too useful!
