Android TextView Text not getting wrapped

android, textview

Solution

I fixed it myself, the key is `android:width="0dip"`

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="4dip"
    android:layout_weight="1">

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="4dip">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemEntityName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="@color/maroon"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:layout_weight="1" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemStarRating"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemDescription"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="12sp"
            android:width="0dip" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/widget01"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/arrow_nxt"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:paddingRight="5dip" />

</LinearLayout>

Problem

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong with the text? Text longer than one line doesn't wrap to the next line but goes beyond the screen. Following is the code: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="4dip"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="4dip"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="4dip"> <TextView android:id="@+id/reviewItemEntityName" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="event/venue" android:textColor="@color/maroon" android:singleLine="true" android:ellipsize="end" android:textSize="14sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_weight="1" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/reviewItemStarRating" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:src="@drawable/title_1_star" /> </LinearLayout> <TextView android:id="@+id/reviewItemDescription" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Description comes here" android:textSize="12sp" android:layout_weight="1"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> ```
