I have two long texts which are constrained horizontally together. Since both texts can be pretty long, both are truncated with an ellipsis. Here is the diagram for reference.
| [TextView 1 ] [TextView 2] |
Let's say we are displaying the same long text:"Hello there I am a very very long text"
for both TextView
s. What I need to do is, if there is not enough space to fit both TextView
s, then first truncate the right TextView and then truncate the left TextView.
Here's the outcome that I want:
| [Hello there I am a very very long text] [Hello...] |
Here is what I have tried so far :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="56dp"
android:padding="20dp">
<TextView
android:id="@ id/leftTv"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
android:textColor="#333333"
android:textSize="18sp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@ id/rightTv"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:text="Hello there I am a very very very very long text"
tools:text="Hello there I am a very very very very long text" />
<TextView
android:id="@ id/rightTv"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:textColor="#21b38a"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@ id/leftTv"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:text="Hello there I am a very very very very long text"
tools:text="Hello there I am a very very very very long text" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
My code outputs like this:
| [Hello there I am a very..] [Hello there I am a very..] |
