In roSpringBoardScreen details screen, I have added description
item.description = “some text”. (which is not more than 340 chars)
It shows description but adds ellipsis after some chars in the single line, but i want to display the complete description. How to increase the length of description? In documentation it is mentioned that we can have 4 lines of description each line containing 85 chars, but i don’t know why in my description, it just adds the ellipsis in the firsline only and doesn’t continue with second and 3rd lines .
Can some one give me the right syntax on getting the description which can have more than one line.
I don’t think it will wrap the lines for you. You have to put in the line feeds yourself, like:
description = "This is a very long description that goes over one line. I'll put in a line feed here," + chr(10) + "so I can make each line fit within the space allowed."
I tried both of these, (ASCII for Carriage return and Line feed)
item.description = "This is a very long description that goes over one line. " + chr(10) + “I’ll put in a line feed here” + “so I can make each line fit within the space allowed.”
item.description = "This is a very long description that goes over one line. " + chr(13) + chr(10) + “I’ll put in a line feed here” + “so I can make each line fit within the space allowed.”
I am trying this is in roSpringBoardScreen which should be displayed below the Actors information
I have been working with video player example application in roku sdk,
I have tried many methods to have the description shown completely instead of partially showing it with ellipsis in roSpringBoardScreen, but was not able todo it.
I tried using linefeeds, different contentypes etc but no luck, I am not sure why it’s not taking rest of the description either with linefeeds etc, is their any specific setting which i would be missing to get complete description at least 4 lines as mentioned document without ellipsis ??
