You need to do it this way in XML

<EditText
        ...
        android:maxLines="1" />

And then you need to put in Java

String text = edit_text.getText().toString();

if(text.length() > 8){
   edit_text.setText(text.substring(0, 8) + "...");
}

With this if it gets bigger than 8 characters will put the ... at the end

  • I couldn’t make it work, the layout type Edit is inserted does right?

  • I edited my answer with some complements, I had not seen that the other method I passed you was discontinued by Google

  • How do I know in which position I should truncate the text so that the result (counting ...) is in the visible area of Edittext?

  • Keep putting characters in the text="" of the XML until you notice that it arrived at the end, it was the most "smart" thing I could think of

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
                if(view.hasFocus()){
                    // se tá com foco, então pôe os "..." no texto
                } else {
                    // se tá sem foco, então mostra o texto inteiro
                }
            }
        });

  • I need to have the ellipsis in the text when Edit is without the focus to indicate that the text is not totamente visible.
