Good day all,

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have 2 TextViews (as seen in the screen shot) 

[![Text overlap](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8JBfl.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8JBfl.png)

And as you can see the Date is going behind the Price. 

This was happening when the textviews were in a RelativeLayout. I moved them to a linearlayout and now whats happening is the price is being set onto 2 lines. 

What I would like to happen is that the text is laid out as below:

```
Ends 30 Jun... R3,500,000.00

```

Rather than it overlapping like it is in the screenshot.

My Current layout is:

```
<LinearLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_alignBottom="@id/trade_details_include_trade_image"
  android:layout_below="@id/trade_details_include_trade_title"
  android:layout_toRightOf="@id/trade_details_include_trade_image"
  android:gravity="bottom"
  android:orientation="horizontal">

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/trade_details_include_trade_ending_time"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@color/light_text"
    android:textSize="@dimen/font_16"
    tools:text="Ends 24 June 00:00"/>

  <RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
      android:id="@+id/trade_details_include_trade_price"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
      android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
      android:textColor="@color/primary_text"
      android:textSize="@dimen/font_16"
      android:textStyle="bold"
      tools:text="R138,500,000.00"/>
  </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

```

and when the price is large like R138,500,000.00 it lays out like this

```
                   R138,500,
Ends 22 June 00:00 000.00

```

Now I know there are other SO questions about this similar issue but none of them(that I have found) have given me the solution I need where the date can be Ellipsed off and the price be the priority textview

Hope someone can help me out.
