i have a layout containing multiple TextViews containing text with superscript... to make a portion superscript in text i have used <sup>superscript text</sup> tag in string.xml within text the problem here is my text got cutted in emulator view i have also tried to add padding but output is same nthing is working for it like , changing margin,padding,font size...please help here below is image what i get on emulator........
Make it like this.
< sup>< small>superscript text< /small>< /sup>
A further problem remains: the superscripted text is not properly scaled, i.e. font size reduced.
So padding is just a weak solution to a bug in the proper rendering of a [super|sub]script.
I am investigating a fix for this...will see.
if you want small superscript text than you can use
<sup>< small>text< /small>< /sup>
if you want to more small than you can use <small> tag twice like below
<sup><small><small>text</small></small>< /sup>

My designer has given me the layout spec. as shown in image, so i have to give a exact 20dp gap between first TextView(Verification Code Resent) and second TextView(Please check your text message...) but their is always a default padding for TextView that increase the gap between these two TextViews, i want to know is it possible to give exact 20dp margin between these textview ,if not does my desiner need to make some changes in layout spec, i'm confused please help me..
You can use android:includeFontPadding="false" in your XML for the TextViews.
As an alternative, you can set setIncludeFontPadding (false) on the TextView in your Java code.
I have a simple TextView, where I put a string like that: "Curăță corect urechile copilașului tău!". But I see the string on display like this "Cură ă corect urechile copilașului tău!" - just space between chars, where must be a "ț" symbol.
I checked the string in TextView by TextView.getText(), and I get my original string.
This is a screenshot, also the same problem in first title:
Try to set text in TextView using HTML. I hope this will work and may help you out.
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("your_string"));
There is still space for the letters, so perhaps it's an issue with the styling.
Change the style to default, do the letters show up?
Try adding a shadow to the textviews and see if the shadow exists (maybe the letters are somehow transparent, or the same color as the background?)
It is more related to a font issue, default Android font doesn't support some characters. You need to try from a different font.
You can try from the following (but I think its not free)

I am writing an view where I need to display superscript data. I am following this to achieve this.
Along this is there any way to change font size(in number) of superscript text.
EDIT
Commanware suggested link work great, except one thing. I need superscript bit above of base text. I'm updating image for same, please refer. I'm using same code with mention in reference code.
Here either can go for separate text view could be second priority solution. Any suggestion !
try this one this is working code:
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("04:30<sup><small>pm</small></sup>"));
you cant pass text size in numbers, yo have to change the size to string :
<font size="3" color="red">This is some text!</font>
Use this Code :
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("your Text <sup style="font-size:5(yourfontsize);">subscript</sup>"));
Try this and Let me know :)
In my application I have a text view that represents song title, which means it can be filled with titles in different languages. I'm having a strange problem :
When I do myTextView.setText("שלום") it won't show anything.
But if I do the same in the xml file (as text property) it does show the text ?
Found the problem, I had an attribute of android:singleLine="true" and it didn't work fine with hebrew
for me the problem was messing with line spacing -
textView.setLineSpacing(0,0);
just in case it will help someone
I am having a strange issue, the words are cutting inside EDITTEXT i have set an image as background. Plz help me... for example here ffsds, is being cut, I want it to shift to bit right so that it doesnt get cut.
Increase paddingLeft value of edit text.
...
android:paddingLeft="100dp"
...
in xml layout.
Increasing the left padding is the easy solution. But if this smiley image is always on the left of the edittext, you can set the image by using the attribute android:drawableLeft on the edittext.
