I have a RelativeLayout whose layout_height is set to "wrap_content" and inside that I have a TextView whose text is set at runtime. I have set android:layout_height="wrap_content" to my TextView, but it doesn't seems to change the height of the Textview even if the content is larger than 1 line.
It only takes the height of single line and displays 1 line, and all the remaining lines appears to be marquee vertically which is seen when I drag it manually...
so what will be the issue?
change property of textview Input Type:textMultiline
You can use also this
textView1.setText(Html.fromHtml("Titleeee"));
here i found a list of text that fromHtml will convert

I have a chain in a ConstraintLayout which consists in a TextView, an ImageView and another TextView (doesn't need autosizing). I'd like them three to be vertically centered in the parent container (i.e. same distance to left/right).
I want the TextView to autosize so the text doesn't overflow. I can't use autosize with a layout_width set to wrap_content (nothing happens and the text doesn't resize). I can't set a fixed layout_width either since the extra space when the text isn't very long throws off the alignment.
Is there anyway to do this via XML or should I implement my own autosizing behavior?
This is a picture of what I'm trying to achieve (a center-aligned chain):
For TextView Auto-sizing, use android:layout_width="0dp".
But make sure you apply the ViewComponents Left/Start and Right/End Constraints.
This trick is basically used instead of android:layout_width="fill_parent" in ConstraintLayout.
Using this, you'll achieve Auto-sizing and it will consume only the space falling under the specified constraints and no over-lapping and no spilling-out.
I have a recyclerview with bunch of textview each as an item as you see in picture below. (Blue lines aren't really there, i added them so you can see each item separately) as you can see everything seems nice and user will not notice the text is separated.
The problem is when user increases the line space(a typical option in app) line height gets bigger except the first and last line of each item and the result seems like second picture.
My question is how to find appropriate padding to set to each item so every line height seen exactly the same?
BTW i can not use just one textview for many reason!
You can increase the divider height of your listview according to linespacing height.
Or you can set an invisible view at the bottom of every row item and increase the height of this view according to linespacing height.
Or you can set padding at the bottom of every row item and increase the value of this padding according to linespacing height.
just add some padding to the parent of your textview in the layout file of your list item .
for example the layout with linearlayout would be like :
<LinearLayout ........
paddingTop=15dp>
<TextView
..........>
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
and you could adjust the padding dynamically if you want.
In a LinearLayout,there is a TextView and Button ,both of them have a same drawable for background,
and their layout_width and layout_height are both wrap_content,but ,why the button is bigger than textview?
wrap_content means wrap the conent of that component so when the textView is empty it is smaller than the button which has text in it.
Try to make the text in the button shorter and you'll see it will be smaller.
I think you have given text size or text appearance for the button...if you have given these then remove them....you will see the difference....
Just guessing your layout.....Hope this helps you
I am trying to fit two EditTexts horizontally. What I am trying to accomplish is make the text keep scrolling right without the EditText extending in anyway when there is no more space in that specific EditText. This happens when the EditText is set to match_parent (width), but when I set an actually width or wrap_content, it breaks to the next line. Not the behavior I am hoping for. Any ideas?
If I understood your question correctly, you're saying you want the edit text to be a single line each? If so, have you tried using the xml attribute
android:singleLine
Or you can accomplish the same thing with:
setSingleLine() //called on the edit text
I just tested it out with 2 edit texts in a horizontal linear layout set to 100dp width each and I think it accomplishes the behavior you want.
You can try this:
Set both to fill_parent and layout_weight=1. This will align them side by side.
I'm adding a TextView to a parent LinearLayout RelativeLayout programmtically. There is enough space for the text to be displayed horizontally but for some reason the text is displayed vertically. Does anyone know what's going on here?
It's really hard to say what is the problem without looking at your XML and layout code. In my experience, sometimes it happens when the parent layout has height set as WRAP_CONTENT and the views inside it have wrong weight config, for example one has weight but WRAP_CONTENT and the other MATCH_PARENT (Sorry, I don't remember the case exactly). I suggest you check your LayoutParams carefully or set a fixed width and height for the TextView to see what is the problem.
You can also post your code here so we can have a look at it
