title: TextView Ellipsize (...) not working
body: <p>I want to have a single lined <code>TextView</code> to show up 3 dots at the end when the text is longer than the <code>TextView</code>. I don't know why - but I don't get it.</p>
  
  <p>I already wrapped my head around similar StackOverflow questions, but I ended up with no solution. Maybe someone has some useful hints.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout 
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:orientation="vertical"&gt;
  
      &lt;TextView 
          android:textStyle="bold" 
          android:text="Full Name" 
          android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
          android:textSize="16sp"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
          android:id="@+id/lName"
          android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" 
          android:maxLines="1"
          android:ellipsize="end"/&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>LinearLayout</code> above is nested into 2 other <code>LinearLayouts</code>. Maybe this is important to know. I already tried the attribute "<code>singleLine</code>" too, but some say this is deprecated and it doesnt work anyway.</p>
