[android-developers] Re: Question about using TextView
Hi Mark, It looks like we need to set a deprecated property on cupcake to make android:ellipsize work properly. android:Single line (Deprecated) = true (--- without this, the ellipsis will not show up) android:ellipsize = end I tried setMaxLines(1) without setting Single line property, it doesn't work Looks weird, maybe a SDK bug? Correct me if I am wrong.

Correct me if I am wrong. That is strange. android:inputType is now the way to specify you want to support multiline input, so I would have assumed that the default would have been the equivalent of android:singleLine=true. If nobody else chimes in with a solution, you might consider posting a bug over at http://b.android.com. Note that deprecated in Android does not mean unsupported, just not recommended. It may be that this is still a necessary use of android:singleLine, at least for the time being. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Need Android talent?
