Answer 1

If you set the TextView to both singleLine and ellipsize to end, then you should have the desired result.

For example:

<TextView
   ...
   android:singleLine="true"
   android:ellipsize="end"
/>

Answer 2

Using filter in code (Programmatically in your java class)

InputFilter[] FilterArr = new InputFilter[1];
FilterArr[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(10);
editEntryView.setFilters(FilterArray);

or in your xml file as below

android:maxLength="10"

combined with

android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"

Answer 3

you can use code in java

       tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.txt_comentdata);
       tv.setMaxLines(3);
       tv.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END)

Answer 4

Try this:

int charactersLimit = 10;
String yourLargeString = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
String yourFinalString = yourLargeString.substring(0, Math.min(yourLargeString.length(), charactersLimit));
yourTextView.setText(yourFinalString + "...");
