Android setEllipsize not working on class that extends EditText

Question

I have a class that extends EditText, on this class i'm trying to make the text to set setEllipsize when the text is to long. For some reason all my tryies didn't work. It seems that that i can scroll the text horizontal inside the text view... Can anybody advice how to make it work. (So far i've tryed many combination of those functions and that's my part in the code:

public class LMEditTextAutoSize extends EditText {
private boolean autoSize;

public LMEditTextAutoSize(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    mTextSize = getTextSize();
    mMaxTextSize = getTextSize();
}

public LMEditTextAutoSize(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    mTextSize = getTextSize();
    mMaxTextSize = getTextSize();
}

public LMEditTextAutoSize(Context context) {
    super(context);
    mTextSize = getTextSize();
    mMaxTextSize = getTextSize();
}

public void setAutoSize(boolean autoSize) {
    this.autoSize = autoSize;
    resetTextSize();
}

// Minimum text size for this text view
public static final float MIN_TEXT_SIZE = 50;

// Interface for resize notifications
public interface OnTextResizeListener {
    public void onTextResize(TextView textView, float oldSize, float newSize);
}

// Our ellipse string
private static final String mEllipsis = "...";

// Registered resize listener
private OnTextResizeListener mTextResizeListener;

// Flag for text and/or size changes to force a resize
private boolean mNeedsResize = false;

// Text size that is set from code. This acts as a starting point for resizing
private float mTextSize;

// Temporary upper bounds on the starting text size
private float mMaxTextSize = 0;

// Lower bounds for text size
private float mMinTextSize = MIN_TEXT_SIZE;

// Text view line spacing multiplier
private float mSpacingMult = 1.0f;

// Text view additional line spacing
private float mSpacingAdd = 0.0f;

// Add ellipsis to text that overflows at the smallest text size
private boolean mAddEllipsis = true;

private int widthLimit;

private int heightLimit;

Answer 1

remove setHorizontallyScrolling(true) it is contradicting with setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END); Refer to the android doc for each ones function https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html
