How to adjust the display of text in android to cut any letters that do not match the layout

I have several TextViews in a row and I want 1st TextView to occupy all the free space, but if the combined length of TextViews is too long to fit on one line, I want the 1st TextView to be cut off.

Regarding spare space, I set the 1st TextView layout_width to match the parent and layout_weight to 1, which works. I just can't get it to truncate extra letters so that it matches one line.

What I want is something like the following: “Text” and “Long Text”

'Text   :data'
'Long T :data'

So, “Long Text” is turned off to “Long T” to fit.

I get

'Text   :data'
'Long Text :d'

Thank!
