TextView header_text;
header_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.header_text1);
header_text.setSingleLine();
try to use android:gravity="left" or alignParent="left"
To align your Text inside a specific TextView:
Textview t = (Textview) findViewbyid(R.id.yourView); //refernce to your View
t.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT); //or any align you want
t.setText("String text or long string");

I am trying to add a TextView from the activity when a button has been pressed. I have found how to add a new textview from the activity, however instead of coding the required layout parameters is it possible to copy an existing textviews parameters (in the xml layout) to the new textview?
I have tried:
TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
TextView tv2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.basetext);;
// its this line below which doesn't work
tv1.setLayoutParams(tv2.getLayoutParams());
But it doesn't copy any of the layout parameters...
Any ideas?
You can do One thing.
If you are trying to set just the Value of the Same TextValue every time and if the Layout properties of that TextView is same at all the time then follow below steps:
First Create the One Layout that only contain he TextView layout only with your appropriate properties. (Let name it as layout_textView.xml)
Now, do add that layout_textView.xml dynamically to your main view as per your requirement.
How it will Solve your issue.
If any query then let me know.
Did you call requestLayout() after adding the textview?
I have created a custom LinearLayout through program which have a custom TextView within it. I have not added the TextView using inflater. Now I want to use this LinearLayout multiple times in XMl layout. But the problem is that how can I set the text of these TextView within the LinearLayout?
Any ideas??
If I right understand it will help you. Good luck!
LinearLayout layout = findViewById(id_linear_layout);
((TextView) layout.findViewById(id_textview)).setText("Text");
When adding the customTextView set the tag using setTag method. And then to retrieve it use linearLayout.findViewWithTag method to retrieve the customTextView and as usual use setText to set the text
You an also alternatively set the id using setId and retrieve it using findViewById method
Use a reference of that TextView to to set the text.
Then add this TextView to LinearLayout.
ex -
TextView text = new TextView(yourActivity.this);
text.setText("Sample Text");
ll.addView(text);
// ll is your LinearLayout.
I built a linear layout inside of a dialog , the problem here that i want to change the TextView of this layout but i don't know how ! ,, any help ?
The same way you would do it with a normal view.
TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
text.setText("Hello");
Ive got a TextView and some String Arrays. I want to add a Line (trough Java) everytime the next Item is displayed(Ive got a for loop, so it loops until every Item is displayed in the TextView). Does anybody know how to do that?
Thank you
EDIT:
I want It to look like a ListView. But I dont want to use a listView insted because I want to set the Line just for certain events.
for(int i=0;i<lenght;i++)
{
//textview is tv
tv.setText(listOfString[i]);
//view is viewWithHorizontalLine with hight = dp and width = fill_parent and background = #000000
viewWithHorizontalLine = view;
//LinearLayout is ll
ll.addView(tv);
ll.addView(viewWithHorizontalLine);
}
XML
<LinearLayout>
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout orientation=vertical/>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
What kind of line? If you just want a vertical line in your text, add "|" between each word. If you want a new line, use "\n".
Have you tried adding a newline (\n) character each time you add one of your strings?
