TextView Ellipsize not working

Below is TextView defined in xml.

     <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Select Language"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:maxLength="30"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:padding="4dp"
            android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
            android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
            android:id="@+id/selected_language" />

ellipsize wont work based on the max length it will work width of your textview.

In your code you mention like maxlength 30 so try to specify width of textview.

I have Changed MaxLength to MaxEms in your TextView its Working now use this.

<TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Select Language"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:maxEms="30"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:padding="4dp"
            android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
            android:textColor="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
            android:id="@+id/selected_language" />
