The three dot only shows when the textView doesn't have enough space for the characters.
in your case just set a fix width and set single line. then it should work.
<TextView android:id="@+id/counterDefinitionName"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="nameCounting"
android:text="@string/nameIt"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="@color/count_item_to_be_defined" />
