prevent undesired line wrapping in TextView

My textview is wrapping text despite the settings lines="1" and ellipsise="end". What do I need to do in addition to prevent the line wrapping hand have the text ellipsised with a "..." as intended?

 <TextView
     android:id="@+id/title"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_toRightOf="@id/date"
     android:background="@color/listHeaderBackground"
     android:ellipsize="end"
     android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
     android:height="30dp"
     android:lines="1"
     android:maxLines="1"
     android:paddingBottom="3dp"
     android:paddingLeft="20dp"
     android:paddingRight="7dp"
     android:paddingTop="3dp"
     android:text="New Ion Beam Etcher ordered blah blah blah blah"
     android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
     android:textColor="@color/listHeaderForeground" />

see the third item: "New sputter tool" etc. screenshot

The option shown below is deprecated

android:singleLine="true"

Instead use this:

android:maxLines="1"

From TextView Ellipsize (...) not working :

 <TextView android:id="@+id/lName"
      android:style="@style/autoscroll" />

And in your style.xml

 <style name="autoscroll">
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">marquee</item>
    <item name="android:marqueeRepeatLimit">marquee_forever</item>
    <item name="android:focusable">true</item>
    <item name="android:focusableInTouchMode">true</item>
    <item name="android:scrollHorizontally">true</item>
</style>
