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?

[Colton Idle]

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!
