How can I show ellipses on my TextView if it is greater than the 1 line?

This will also make a single line with ellipsise

 android:singleLine="true"

Use this

android:ellipsize="end"  
android:singleLine="true"

Don't use this without fully aware of what output comes

android:ellipsize="end"  
android:maxLines="1"

When you use maxlines = 1 it will some time truncate most of the characters.

This is a common problem. Try using the following:

android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:ellipsize="end" 
android:maxLines="1"

.............. the scrollHorizontally is the "special sauce" that makes it work.
