You can set the lines of text to display with android:lines, or set a minimum and maximum number of lines with android:minLines and android:maxLines.

android:ellipsize would kick in only with a limited size, so if the text view is to grow to its content, it would not be needed, unless somehow constrained by the layout.

I also see you are using both layout_weight and layout_below/toRightOf. The first is available only in LinearLayout, the latter in RelativeLayout, so one of them should go, depending on which layout you are actually using.
