Android: LinearLayout (horizontal) cuts off last column -

very simple layout: have 2 textviews displayed in single line. layout centered on screen , 2 strings set programmatically, first vairaible length string while second string either empty or (let's say) "x":

    <linearlayout     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_marginbottom="5dp"     android:gravity="center_horizontal"     android:orientation="horizontal" >      <textview         android:id="@+id/lblselectionname"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:ellipsize="end"         android:singleline="true"         android:text="@string/empty"         android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancemedium" />      <textview         android:id="@+id/lblselectionattribute"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/empty"         android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancemedium" />  </linearlayout> 

please note, first textview ellipsized in order cut off string if size exceeds textview. expect like:

"normal text | x" (centered on screen)

"extralarge text must be... | x" (centered on screen - filling screen)

but happens is: first textview elipsizes fills whole screen(-width) , second textview off screen (wrapped next line respectively). using "weight" not anyway. setting layout_height fixed value (e.g. 15dp) doesn't too...

any advice anyone?
