ellipsize enabled line text is cutting from left side

Question

I am writing text description in two lines using TextView. I am using android:gravity="center" to centrally aligned two lines & also used android:maxLines="2" & android:ellipsize="end" attributes in xml file. First line is coming properly but at left side of second line text is getting clipped. If I remove android:ellipsize="end" attribute then there is no any text cut. So i am thinking that my problem is because of ellipsize attribute. I tried a lot of experiments to solve this issue, but not succeeded. Can anybody help me to solve my issue.

Answer 1

Apparently, there is an incompatibility between the attributes ellipsize, maxLines and letterSpacing.

I had exactly the same issue, and setting the next line solved the issue.

android:letterSpacing="0"

Hope this helps :)
