You can use CSS3’s flexible box layout to do this pretty intuitively: .parent-div { display: flex; } .text-div { white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; min-width: 0; } .icon-div { flex: 1; } Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Blender/kXMz7/1/
It represents an infinite loop within the structure. An example: In [1]: l = [1, 2] In [2]: l[0] = l In [3]: l Out[3]: [[…], 2] l‘s first item is itself. It’s a recursive reference, and so python can’t reasonably display its contents. Instead it shows […]
I like the idea of letting “thin” characters count as half a character. Simple and a good approximation. The main issue with most ellipsizings however, are (imho) that they chop of words in the middle. Here is a solution taking word-boundaries into account (but does not dive into pixel-math and the Swing-API). private final static … Read more
The question is if I call testNull() directly with parameter null, I will get true back, but if call callTestNull() with null, which calls testNull(), it tells me the parameter is not null, but empty array. Yes. If you call it with an argument with a compile-time type of String, the compiler knows that can’t … Read more
The word used to describe … is “ellipsis.” Knowing this should make searching for information about the construct easier. For example, the first hit on Google is another question on this site: How to use R’s ellipsis feature when writing your own function?
You can get the layout of the TextView and check the ellipsis count per line. For an end ellipsis, it is sufficient to check the last line, like this: Layout l = textview.getLayout(); if (l != null) { int lines = l.getLineCount(); if (lines > 0) if (l.getEllipsisCount(lines-1) > 0) Log.d(TAG, “Text is ellipsized”); } … Read more
Spudley, you could achieve the same thing by writing a small JavaScript using jQuery: var limit = 50; var ellipsis = “…”; if( $(‘#limitedWidthTextBox’).val().length > limit) { // -4 to include the ellipsis size and also since it is an index var trimmedText = $(‘#limitedWidthTextBox’).val().substring(0, limit – 4); trimmedText += ellipsis; $(‘#limitedWidthTextBox’).val(trimmedText); } I understand … Read more
The following CSS only solution for truncating text on a single line works with all browers listed at http://www.caniuse.com as of writing with the exception of Firefox 6.0. Note that JavaScript is totally unnecessary unless you need to support wrapping multiline text or earlier versions of Firefox. .ellipsis { white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; … Read more
Apparently, adding: td { display: block; /* or inline-block */ } solves the problem as well. Another possible solution is to set table-layout: fixed; for the table, and also set it’s width. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/fd3Zx/5/
