You can also use RelativeLayout and property like below..

alignParentRight for second TextView.
First TextView toLeftOf of Second TextView.

Here is sample code.. Try this.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/id1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/id2"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:text="ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:visibility="visible" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/id2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:text="123"
        android:visibility="visible" />

</RelativeLayout>

Output is like below images.

You can check the String length, if its longer than a specific length, than you can display it like you want.

ex. max length you want is 20

if (str.length()>20) {
    str = str.substring(0, 20)+"..."; 
}

Concate the second parameter in your string `str = str.substring(0, 20)+"..."+secondParameterStr;` – Neal Ahluvalia Jun 19 '15 at 10:14

Use below code

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/id1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:visibility="visible"
        android:text="ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC ABC"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/id2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="visible"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:text="123"
        android:layout_marginLeft="-3dp"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_form"/>

</LinearLayout>

Double check please. It works. Note these code : android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" – Phuc Tran Jun 19 '15 at 10:15
It is ok, How to align to left, for better user experience? – waclaw Jun 19 '15 at 10:19
the second one android:id="@+id/id2" – waclaw Jun 19 '15 at 10:21
Do you know when the string is short and when it is long? If yes, I will update my answer. – Phuc Tran Jun 19 '15 at 10:32

Try-

    String s = "ABC ABC ABC ABC";

        if(s.split(" ").length>1)
        {
            s = s.split(" ")[0]+" ("+s.split(" ").length+")";
        }

textView.setText(s);
