Is it possible to achieve android:ellipsize="middle" behavior with Text composable? I know there is TextOverflow.Ellipsis but how do I specify if it should be in the middle, end, etc?

Can you show how this would look like? I'm not really understanding how you would want ellipsize in the middle. Is that actually doable in xml?

[Olivier Patry]

Definitely doable in XML (see example provided by @mzgreen)

Here is an example of the ellipsis in the middle

@Siyamed do you know if this is planned for 1.0? 🙂

[Siyamed]

it is not planned unfortunately. looks like we dont have a ticket about it either. can you please create a ticket.

the reason it was not implemented was the not to be too platform specific (otherwise the feature is already on android)

[mzgreen]

I see, yeah I'll create a ticket. Thanks!

[Olivier Patry]

@mzgreen would be nice if you copy back the ticket URL once done, I'd like to follow it. Thanks!
