[android-developers] Showing ellipsis in a TextView?

Hi,

I have a normal TextView which has multiple lines. I set its max
number of lines to 3. I'd like it to show an ellipsis at the end if
the text is too long:

TextView tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setLines(tv);
tv.setText("some really long text...");

I tried the set ellipsis calls but it doesn't seem to do anything -
the text appears the same way. How do we get this to work?

Thanks
