'TailTruncation - Ellipsize the text of a picker control in Xamarin Forms

Is it possible to truncate long texts with ellipsis in a picker control. I have already created a custom renderer to set a fontsize and no border in order to achieve the following result.

Also tried to set Control.Ellipsize = TextUtils.TruncateAt.End; but nothing happens

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(NoBorderPicker), typeof(CustomPicker))]
namespace Prj.Droid.Renderers
{
    public class CustomPicker : PickerRenderer
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Picker> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (Control != null)
            {

                var customBG = new GradientDrawable();
                customBG.SetColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Transparent);
                customBG.SetCornerRadius(3);
                Control.SetBackground(customBG);

                Control.Ellipsize = TextUtils.TruncateAt.End;

                var custdatepicker = (NoBorderPicker) this.Element;
                this.Control.TextSize = (float)custdatepicker.FontSize;

            }
        }
    }
}

Now, I could be sure that Control.SetSingleLine(true); will work.

if you are using a custom renderer can be the incorret inheritance.

Use Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.AppCompat.PickerRenderer not Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.PickerRenderer

Oddly enough, for me in the latest Xamarin Forms, on Android the Picker automatically truncates text, but on iOS the Picker becomes arbitrarily wide, covering up other UI elements.

The fix is to set the MinimumWidthRequest = 1, which for some reason re-enables text truncation. I have no idea why. Welcome to Xamarin.
