Android Application Name getting truncated

Question

My Application name is being truncated in some of mobiles is there any solution to show full name in all mobiles?

Answer 1

Your application name is not truncated. The launcher that is installed on the mobile that displays your app decides of a reasonable length for a title to display. Each different launcher has different rules for that (based on the screen resolution, the user settings, etc.), so you're never fully in control.

• It's not big deal to display a partial title: the user knows what he's downloaded
• If you want to make sure everyone has a full name displayed, use a shorter name!

Answer 2

you can split the name like "android\nAppliction" Define application name in String.xml and '\n' seperator used to split the application name

Answer 3

If it's too long, It will truncated to fit into the launcher. The launcher app also controls this behavior. Apart from shortening the name, there's not much else you can do.

Answer 4

Sorry but the answer is no. You can't do anything about it. Shorter name perhaps?

Answer 5

I noticed this happening on an old phone of mine, the name was slightly too long so "mylongappname" looked like:

mylongappnam
     e

My only recourse seems to be to add a dash "mylongapp-name". I wish there were a faux character one could add to tell android where to split the name if it needs too, but otherwise leave it as one word.
