Maximum app_name size to avoid ellipsis

What is the maximum size (max length) for the string app_name of the archive strings.xml of the project in Android to avoid this problem ?

For example the name My Butterfly has length = 12 (counting the space) and does not contain reticence in its name. Already the name My cards is the same size, length = 12 (space), and presents this problem.

How to solve this?

  • Would the reason for "popping" be because of accented characters? I have happened to internally these characters being converted to others that ended up "confusing" the interpreters...

  • I changed out of curiosity, and it turned out the same. I believe it has something to do with the width of each letter itself.. for example the letter i and w have different widths. But I don’t know if there are any patterns.

  • Ah yes, now I understand your question... I’m sorry I misinterpreted. Yes, this makes perfect sense, since, apparently, it would be as if each character were an "image" with the width of its own letter. Maybe you could take out the space by getting "Myfiles" to see if it gets better, or just leave "Cards".

  • I did this... I put only Cards even though the name of the application in Google Play Store is another : Check here. I believe that this problem has no solution but good usage practices... But thanks !
