title: Have two TextViews side by side, the first stretched and limited, the second fixed
body: <p>I've been trying to obtain a certain layout but all my attempts have failed short.</p>
  
  <p>I have 2 textviews within a limited space. As long as there is space to show both, I want them to show one after the other:</p>
  
  <pre><code>| T1 T2222          |
  | T111111 T2222     |
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when space runs short, I want only the first one to get ellipsized or otherwise cut, such as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>| T1111111... T2222 |
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It may help - or not - that both are only supposed to have 1 line.</p>
  
  <p>It may help - or not - that the second's width can be fixed.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I've tried the ideas at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3785221/two-textviews-side-by-side-only-one-to-ellipsize">Two TextViews side by side, only one to ellipsize?</a> but that case is different from mine because their T2 is meant to anchor at the right, whereas I'd like to have T2 just follow T1.</p></li>
  <li><p>I've tried specifying a minWidth for T2, but it doesn't seem to be honoured; plain width is, but I can't seem to control T1's behaviour.</p></li>
  <li><p>I've dabbled with weights, but found nothing that would solve the problem. But that may be my inexperience.</p></li>
  <li><p>I could specify a maxWidth for T1, and it it were honoured it might do what I wish, but the problem is that the whole width of the limited space is unspecified.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>At this point I'm starting to think there is no way to do it - unless maybe programatically, which is a route I'd like to avoid.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for any suggestions.</p>
