android:maxLines and android:ellipsis results in ellipsis not displayed

A TextView defining both maxLine (whatever the value) and ellipsize results in the TextView applying the custom font but not displaying the ellipsis (…) for strings longer than maxLines.

      <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        fontPath="@string/media_item_title_font"      
        android:maxLines="2"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        tools:ignore="MissingPrefix" />

With the following text:

this is line1 this is line2 this is line3

the TextView above will display:

this is line1 this is line2

instead of:

this is line1 this is line2…

Removing the fontPath element produces the expected result

Try playing with android:includeFontPadding As far as I remember android:ellipsize is a huge pain. It only works reliable with android:singleLine.

Setting below attribute works(show … at the end) only if the TextView width is match parent android:ellipsize=“end” android:maxLines=“1” android:singleLine=“true”
