I can use Spannable in TextViews to create spans with different looks, underlines, strikethroughs and such. How can I do the same to alter line wrapping behavior? In particular, I don't want an email address to wrap in the middle, I want it to act like one word.

I tried WrapTogetherSpan, but I couldn't get it to work. It looks like it is only used by DynamicLayout, and I could not force the TextView to use DynamicLayout.

<TextView
  android:id="@+id/merchant_email_field"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:textSize="@dimen/account_setting_email"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:bufferType="spannable"
  android:maxLines="2"
  android:ellipsize="end"
  />

How I'm setting the spannable:

WrapTogetherSpan TOGETHER_SPAN = new WrapTogetherSpan() {};
String collectedString = getString(R.string.email_sentence, userEmail);
int emailOffset = collectedString.indexOf(userEmail);
Spannable emailSpannable = Spannable.Factory.getInstance()
    .newSpannable(collectedString);
emailSpannable.setSpan(TOGETHER_SPAN, emailOffset,
    emailOffset + userEmail.length(),
    Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(emailSpannable)
android textview word-wrap
