    <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1666736/android-textview-automatically-truncate-and-replace-last-3-char-of-string">This property</a> makes </p> <blockquote> <p>"short and very-long-word"</p> </blockquote> <p>to </p> <blockquote> <p>"short and"</p> </blockquote> <p>. But I want to have smth. like </p> <blockquote> <p>"short and very-lon..."</p> </blockquote> <p>Right now I truncate the String in Java code. However, thats based on the number of characters and not the actual length of the link. So, the result isn't very nice.</p> <pre><code>String title; if(model.getOrganization().length() &gt; 19) { title = model.getText().substring(0, 15).trim() + "…"; } else { title = model.getText(); } ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextViewTitle)).setText(title); </code></pre> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>Just noticed, this property actually adds "..." in a few cases. But not in all of them:</p> <blockquote> <p>12345678901234567890 becomes "12345678901234..."</p> </blockquote> <p>However, </p> <blockquote> <p>"1234567890 1234567890" becomes "1234567890" and not "1234567890 123..."</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Update 2</strong></p> <p>Now it really gets funky! I just set singleLine=true and removed maxLine (The bug appears with and without setting ellipsize attribute)...</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OAIfX.png" alt="alt text"></p> <p>This is a screenshot take from Motorola Milestone with android 2.1 update 1. Same happens on HTC Desire with the same android version</p> <p><strong>Update 3</strong></p> <p>Now I use android:ellipsize="marquee". That seems to be the only properly working setting. It's also only moving, when focused. I see it in many other apps also. I guess its common practise.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
