# StaticLayout

`public class StaticLayout`
`` `extends Layout` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.text.Layout
| ↳ | android.text.StaticLayout

StaticLayout is a Layout for text that will not be edited after it is laid out. Use `DynamicLayout` for text that may change.

This is used by widgets to control text layout. You should not need to use this class directly unless you are implementing your own widget or custom display object, or would be tempted to call `Canvas.drawText()` directly.

Returns
`int` |

### getEllipsisStart

Returns
`int` |

### getEllipsizedWidth

    public int getEllipsizedWidth ()

Return the width to which this Layout is ellipsizing, or `getWidth()` if it is not doing anything special.
