I have a TextView set to ellipsize but when I put the text in it doesn't do so. Any ideas?

<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/LegalsView" 
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

You can as well set maxLines like so:

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txt_title"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:maxLines="3"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:textStyle="bold"/>

Ellipses appear when the text exceeds the maxLines set.

android:maxWidth="150dp" was the only instance when text ellipsized for me.
