Method

StringellipsisString(String text, int ellipsisAt)
ellipsis String 
if (text.length() > ellipsisAt) {
    return text.substring(0, ellipsisAt) + "...";
} else {
    return text;
StringellipsisText(String text, int maxLength)
ellipsis Text 
return text.length() <= maxLength ? text : text.substring(0, maxLength - 3) + "...";
Stringellipsize(String input, int maxLength)
ellipsize 
String ellip = "...";
if (input == null || input.length() <= maxLength || input.length() < ellip.length()) {
    return input;
return input.substring(0, maxLength - ellip.length()).concat(ellip);
Stringellipsize(String s, int maxChars)
ellipsize 
if (s == null)
    return null;
if (maxChars < 4)
    return (s.substring(0, maxChars));
if (s.length() > maxChars)
    return s.substring(0, maxChars - 3) + "...";
else
    return s;
...
Stringellipsize(String string, int length)
Ellipsize a string, keeping it readable 
String ellipsis = "...";
if (length >= string.length()) {
    return string;
int trim = length - ellipsis.length();
return string.substring(0, trim / 2) + ellipsis + string.substring(string.length() - trim / 2);
Stringellipsize(String text, int max)
ellipsize 
return cut(text, max, "...", false);
Stringellipsize(String text, int max)
From StackOverflow 
if (textWidth(text) <= max)
    return text;
int end = text.lastIndexOf(' ', max - 3);
if (end == -1)
    return text.substring(0, max - 3) + "...";
int newEnd = end;
do {
    end = newEnd;
...
Stringellipsize(String text, int maxLength)
Cuts the string at the end if it's longer than maxLength and appends "..." 
if (text != null && text.length() > maxLength) {
    return text.substring(0, maxLength - 3) + "...";
return text;
StringellipsizeKeepingExtension(String s, int maxChars)
converts a very long name.doc -> a very lon...g.doc. 
if (s.length() <= maxChars)
    return s;
int idx = s.lastIndexOf(".");
if (idx <= 0)
    return ellipsize(s, maxChars); 
int MAX_EXTENSION_LENGTH = 6;
if (s.length() - idx > MAX_EXTENSION_LENGTH)
    return ellipsize(s, maxChars);
