You can use String substring    if str    null  amp  amp  str length    gt  8        return str substring 0  8             else       return str      You could however make a function where you pass the maximum number of characters that can be displayed  The ellipsis would then cut in only if the width specified isn t enough for the string   public String getShortString String input  int width      if str    null  amp  amp  str length    gt  width          return str substring 0  width - 3               else         return str            abcdefgh    System out println getShortString  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz   11        abcdefghijk System out println getShortString  abcdefghijk   11       no need to trim
