prevent undesired line wrapping in TextView

android, textview, word-wrap

Solution

Add the following to your TextView definition:

android:maxLines="1"

Problem

My textview is wrapping text despite the settings `lines="1"` and `ellipsise="end"`. What do I need to do in addition to prevent the line wrapping hand have the text ellipsised with a "..." as intended? ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/title" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/date" android:background="@color/listHeaderBackground" android:ellipsize="end" android:gravity="left|center_vertical" android:height="30dp" android:lines="1" android:maxLines="1" android:paddingBottom="3dp" android:paddingLeft="20dp" android:paddingRight="7dp" android:paddingTop="3dp" android:text="New Ion Beam Etcher ordered blah blah blah blah" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" android:textColor="@color/listHeaderForeground" /> ``` see the third item: "New sputter tool" etc.
