</LinearLayout>```

you can try app:autoSizeTextType:uniform for that textView.
Note: If you gave already size like "textsize: 15sp" remove that line.

Found out that the problem was due to the fact that in the themes.xml I had the same color in <item name="colorOnPrimary">#color/blue</item> (background) and <item name="colorSecondary">#color/blue</item> (color of handlers), because of it I couldn't see handlers
Thanks everyone!

Can not align the text that comes from an API in Kotlin

I'm designing an app that contains many recyclerRows and that rows contain Ticker and price data. The problem is that i can't align all price values neatly and nicely. They are in a mess and it is disgusting. I tried some alignment methods but they did not work.
My XML file:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/coinTicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fontFamily="#font/sen_bold"
android:text="COIN NAME"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:layout_margin="5dp">
</TextView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/coinPrice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="120dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:fontFamily="#font/sen"
android:text="PRICE"
android:textAlignment="textStart"
android:textSize="30sp">
</TextView></LinearLayout>
ScreenShot:

I setted a fix value for coinTicker and made it autoScrollable. As #PejmanAzad
suggested.
Problem fixed this way

TextView/EditText Explain only 1 line

I have created this, with 1 webview and 1 textview (tried also edittext) and a scrollview, but in the preview it explains all lines, when i launch it explain only 1 line. i tried to rmeove scrollview, webview...nothing...how can i do? Thank you

Preview on Android Studio
Preview on my Phone/Emulator

In strings.xml you must escape all ' of testonavi_spawnby \', for example: ...all\'Avamposto...
Take a look into the documentation for String resources.

Edittext height is given as 126dp. You'll not be able to see 30 lines in it. so make the layout_heigh of the edittext as "wrap_content". This will make the edittext dynamic. As the total content is in scrollview, you'll still be able to scroll and see the complete content

Did you try using
android:minLines=10
where 10 is the number of lines you want it to appear.
Since you have set the android:width="match_parent" maybe its going beyond the view change it to android:layout_width="wrap_parent".
Change the code to:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/testo"
android:layout_width="wrap_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:minLines="10"
android:text="#string/testonavi_spawn"
android:textSize="15sp" />
NOTE: Always use a TextView to display the text and EditText to edit any texts.

Text in TextView not shown in multiple lines - it gets truncated in a single line

Below is an outline of my layout. I have my ScrollView inside another LinearLayout because I would be adding more views to it in runtime.
Anyway, the problem is - the text in the TextView is always truncated to a single line, and is never shown in multiple lines.
Is there any way to make it display a multilined TextViw without having to set an arbitrary number of lines using android:lines or android:maxLines?
Thanks.

i've got this problem with a i5800 with CM7(2.3.7) and the emulator and works fine on a SGS-i9000 with CM9 (4.0.3).
The problem was setting the theme at the manifest:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault" >
I put " android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Holo " and if the device doesn't have it, the textview doesn't allow MultiLine.
You can use the library " holoeverywhere " to port the holo theme to all devices.
Regards.

Try deleting the setting android:inputType="text".
Just had the same problem. I had android:multiLines="2", then I tried android:lines="2", then tried adding android:singleLine="false", but still my EditText would only show one line. I could scroll horizontally to get to the end of my line. What ended up working was deleting the setting android:inputType="text" . This allowed me to type in a long line that would wrap around to a second line.

It could be false by default but did you try to add this in your TextView
android:singleLine="false"

To add to #KNU's answer...
Here's a good related answer showing that you can use a different theme depending on the version of Android it is running on - just create a versioned styles folder.
Answer here: TextView won't break text

Set input type as inputType="text|textMultiLine". This made to resolve my issue.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/itemTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text|textMultiLine"
android:textSize="#dimen/text_size_12"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Your Text Here"/>

Indent bullet list in TextView

I have a TextView which I fill with text from a string resources in strings.xml. The string resource contains < li > elements to create a bullet list inside the TextView. My problem is that I want to control the indention of lines in the bullet list that span over more than one line. Default the text isn't indented past the bullet so it looks kind of ugly. Is it possible to do this with style parameters or to create bullets in some other way?
Thanks in advance.
edit:
Is it really answered? I don't have any problems producing the bullet list, as described in those links but I'm having problems getting the layout correct. The indentation is like this:
text that go beyond the width
of the line.
And I want the "of the line" to at least start indented as far as the text after the bullet. That's what I try to achieve.

I'm suprised that there seems to be noone with this problem. I mean, bullet list can't be that uncommon in about-dialogs, FAQ etc and a bullet doesn't have to contain too much text to span more than one row and run into this problem.
Anyway, I got to solve it like this for now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/ScrollViewTipsLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/TipsLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TableLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/TableLayout01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
>
<TableRow>
<TextView android:id="#+id/tvIngress"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#+string/tv_picking_content_ingress"
android:layout_span="2"
android:singleLine="false"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView android:id="#+id/tvCleaningDot1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="•"
android:singleLine="false"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/tvCleaningFirst"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+string/tv_picking_content_first"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="left"
android:singleLine="false"
/>
</TableRow>
<TextView android:id="#+id/tvCleaningDot2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="•"
android:singleLine="false"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/tvCleaningSecond"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#+string/tv_picking_content_second"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="left"
android:singleLine="false"
/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I use it to present static text in a bullet list so I don't bother to create the bullet + text dynamically in code. If anyone have any suggestion how to accomplish the same thing in a better way, please enlight me.
Btw, if going with the solution suggested in second link above:
android:text="<ol><li>item 1\n</li><li>item 2\n</li></ol>
The second, third etc. row in a bullet that span over more than one row won't get same indention as first line, which is quite ugly.

Thank you #Bjorn
You can also do something like bellow.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/point"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Your Text Here"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</LinearLayout>

The way I solved this problem was by using a RelativeLayout and marginLeft. The marginLeft will put a blank margin between it and the previous item.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbarTrackVertical="#drawable/scrollbar_vertical_track"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#drawable/scrollbar_vertical_thumb"
android:scrollbarSize="12dip">
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10sp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/body_text3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lineSpacingExtra="3sp"
android:text="Main paragraph of text, before the bulleted list"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/type1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lineSpacingExtra="3sp"
android:text="• First bullet"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:layout_below="#+id/body_text3"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/type2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lineSpacingExtra="3sp"
android:text="• Second bullet"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:layout_below="#+id/type1"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

Just trying to point out the key answer of the question:
to create an bullet list, use TableLayout with two columns for each row. One column for TextView of a bullet and the other one for the text
to make text TextView fill the rest empty TableRow and indented at new line, set the weight to 1. You can set the bullet weight to zero or just simply not set the bullet weight and let it empty
based on my experience, changing width parameter do not affect the text and the bullet. So you can leave it empty or set it to anything you want.
Example:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bullet"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/bullet"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="this is the text of a bullet list"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
