'Trailing hyphen in Android TextView
I'm experiencing an issue when limiting number (setting maxLines ) of rows and space in an Android TextView with hyphenation (hyphenationFrequency="full"). For example, trying to display the following string Long\u00adstring\u00adfoobar, which contains soft hyphens (\u00ad), in a TextView where the string doesn't fit, yields the following result:
Long-
string...-
Is there any way to not get the trailing hyphen in this case? Is it a Android issue or am I doing something wrong?
Layout code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="example.MainActivity">
<TextView
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/tv"
android:hyphenationFrequency="full"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="2"
android:text="Long\u00adstring\u00adfoobar"
/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
