Switch ellipsis style in Textview

I am trying to change the style of the ellipsis in Textview, the default style is "...", I would like to change to "(...)".

I developed a method, but it only works when the user clicks and updates the View

Does anyone know how I can change?

The code of the method:

ublic static String getEllipsizedText(TextView textView, String originalText, boolean label){

String ellipsised = TextUtils.ellipsize(textView.getText(), textView.getPaint(), (float)textView.getWidth(), TextUtils.TruncateAt.END).toString();

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
    if(i < originalText.length() && i < ellipsised.length() && originalText.charAt(i) != ellipsised.charAt(i))
        return originalText;
}

int totalLine = (textView.getMeasuredHeight() / textView.getLineHeight());

int maxChars = ellipsised.length() * totalLine;

textView.setEllipsize(null);
textView.setSingleLine(false);

if(totalLine <= 1 && label == false){
    return originalText;
}

textView.setMaxLines(totalLine);

if(originalText.length() > maxChars){   

    int size = maxChars - 1;
    while(size >= 0){
        if(size < maxChars - 6 && originalText.charAt(size) == ' ')
            break;
        else
            size--;
    }

    return originalText.subSequence(0, size) + " (...)";
}
else{
    return originalText;
}

}

The call code

textview.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new OnPreDrawListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onPreDraw() {
        textview.setText(FormatFactory.getEllipsizedText(textview, text, false));
        textview.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
        textview.postInvalidate();
        textview.refreshDrawableState();
        mainView.invalidate();
        mainView.postInvalidate();
        mainView.refreshDrawableState();
        return true;
    }
});

EDIT

I decided as follows:

public class MyTextView extends TextView{

private boolean changed = false;

public MyTextView(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}

public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}

@Override
protected void onTextChanged(final CharSequence text, final int start, final int before, final int after) {
    super.onTextChanged(text, start, before, after);
}

@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
    super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
    if(changed == false){
        setText(getEllipsizedText(getText().toString()));
        changed = true;
    }
}

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);      
}

@Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    super.onDraw(canvas);
}

@Override
public void setText(CharSequence text, TextView.BufferType type){
    super.setText(getEllipsizedText(text.toString()), type);
}

private int getMaxLinesCompat(){
    return getResources().getInteger(R.integer.mymaxlines);
}

private final String getEllipsizedText(String originalText){

    setEllipsize(null); // Impede que o textview coloque ellips automaticamente
    setSingleLine(false); // Impede que o textview fique em uma só linha

    if(getPaint().measureText(originalText) < getMeasuredWidth())
        return originalText;        

    int totalLine = (getMeasuredHeight() / getLineHeight()); // Pega o número maximo de linhas que cabem no textview

    if(totalLine > 1)
        totalLine--;

    while(totalLine > getMaxLinesCompat())
        totalLine--;

    int size = getPaint().breakText(originalText, true, getMeasuredWidth(), null) * totalLine;

    size -= 7;

    if(size < originalText.length()){
        while(size > 0){
            if(originalText.charAt(size) == ' '){
                return originalText.substring(0, size) + " (...)".replace("\r", "").replace("\t", "");
            }
            else
                size--;
        }
    }
    return originalText;
}

}

  • Quite complicated this task, would it not be worth looking at the source code of the TextView to see how he does?

Take a look at this class:

Change the value of the ELLIPSIS variable

You can use the replace() method. This way:

String s1 = "Android...";
String s2 = s1.replace("...","(...)");
  • Unfortunately I believe it will not work because it is itself TextView places whenever you change the text.

  • This doesn’t work because as @Wakim said, Textview is the one who puts "..."
