Prevent TextView from wrapping long text

Each row of my WearableRecyclerView has a TextView. The contents of the TextViews can vary in length, however, whenever the length of the text is long and needs to break, it is breaking incorrectly.

It makes more sense visually:

enter image description here enter image description here

As you can see there is plenty of room on the first line but it's breaking early.

I don't know if it's the text itself. If I hardcode in the text, instead of setting it dynamically, it looks fine:

enter image description here

My row item code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/episode_row_item_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/episode_row_item_thumbnail"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
                android:adjustViewBounds="true"
                android:scaleType="fitCenter"
                android:visibility="gone"
                />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/episode_row_item_title"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/episode_row_item_thumbnail"
                android:lines="2"
                />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/episode_row_item_date"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="12sp"
                android:layout_below="@+id/episode_row_item_title"
                android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/episode_row_item_thumbnail"
                />

    </RelativeLayout>

In the Adapter I'm just setting the TextView's text in onBindViewHolder via the setText method.

Well, after posting this, I immediately found the answer. Adding this fixed it:

android:breakStrategy="simple"
