[android-beginners] Ellipsize not working

2010-04-06 Thread Aviral
Hi. I am facing an issue.
I created the notification that should work for any application(e.g.
bluetooth, SMS etc)
In the layout, the code is thus
android:singleLine=true
android:ellipsize=end

The text that is received is ticker as well.

When any notification is received, instead of ellipsizing it, the part
that does not fit in one line is truncated.
i.e. if the line is There are a lot of good things in universe, it
will show as There are lot of 
instead of There are lot of ...

Do Ticker text and ellipsize contradict each other?


Thanks a lot

You do not control how the ticker text is presented. If Android does not
ellipsize it, then Android does not ellipsize it. You can file an
enhancement request for this at http://b.android.com.

You can do a rough-cut ellipsizing yourself (e.g., any message over 16
characters gets truncated at the nearest non-alphanumeric value and ...
appended to the end) if you wish.
