You will often also want to set scrollHorizontally or             singleLine as well so that the text as a whole is also constrained to a single line             instead of still allowed to be broken onto multiple lines.              Must be one of the following constant values.                 none                 start                 middle                 end                 marquee     -->     <!--         android:singleLine             Constrains the text to a single horizontally scrolling line instead of letting it wrap             onto multiple lines, and advances focus instead of inserting a newline when you press             the enter key. The default value is false (multi-line wrapped text mode) for             non-editable text, but if you specify any value for inputType, the default is true             (single-line input field mode).              Must be a boolean value, either "true" or "false".              This may also be a reference to a resource (in the form "@[package:]type:name") or             theme attribute (in the form "?[package:][type:]name") containing a value of this type.              This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol singleLine.     -->     <TextView         android:id="@+id/tv_second"         android:layout_width="150dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20dp"         android:layout_margin="5dp"         android:padding="5dp"         android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"         android:textColor="#29b327"         android:background="#e0ffdc"         android:layout_below="@id/tv"         android:text="This is a sample TextView"         android:singleLine="true"         android:ellipsize="end"         />     <TextView         android:id="@+id/tv_third"         android:layout_width="150dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20dp"         android:layout_margin="5dp"         android:padding="5dp"         android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"         android:textColor="#ed4022"         android:background="#ecf5f9"         android:layout_below="@id/tv_second"         android:text="This is a sample TextView"         android:singleLine="true"         android:ellipsize="start"         />     <TextView         android:id="@+id/tv_fourth"         android:layout_width="150dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20dp"         android:layout_margin="5dp"         android:padding="5dp"         android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"         android:textColor="#2c22ed"         android:background="#e8f7df"         android:layout_below="@id/tv_third"         android:text="This is a sample TextView"         android:singleLine="true"         android:ellipsize="middle"         />     <TextView         android:id="@+id/tv_fifth"         android:layout_width="150dp"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:textSize="20dp"         android:layout_margin="5dp"         android:padding="5dp"         android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"         android:textColor="#9c9955"         android:background="#f7dcef"         android:layout_below="@id/tv_fourth"         android:text="This is a sample TextView"         android:singleLine="true"         android:ellipsize="marquee"         /> </RelativeLayout>
