Problem

I have a `TextView` that I want to limit characters of it. Actually, I can do this but the thing that I'm looking for is how to add three dots (...) at the end of string. This one shows the text has continue. This is my XML but there is no dots although it limit my text. ``` <TextView android:id = "@+id/tvFixture" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_toLeftOf = "@id/ivFixture_Guest" android:text = "@string/test_06" android:lines = "1" android:ems = "3" android:gravity = "right" style = "@style/simpletopic.black" android:ellipsize="end"/> ```
