I'm displaying a TableLayout with rows as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/one"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
android:textColor="#B0171F" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/one"
android:id="@+id/two"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
android:ellipsize="none"
android:singleLine="false"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:maxLines="10"
android:textColor="@android:color/black" />
</RelativeLayout>
</TableRow>
I'm hitting this with everything I can find here and can think of to permit the text to wrap on many lines but to no avail: The text is always forced to a single line, running off the screen. It might matter that I'm working inside a TableRow here, and so far as I can tell this hasn't been treated on this site.
So, how do I force my second TextView to wrap to many lines?
The TextView will wrap the text if the column it's in is set to shrink. Sometimes it does not wrap exactly, if the text ends with ", ...", then it is a little bit longer than exactly n lines.
Here's an example, the TextView with the id question
will wrap:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:shrinkColumns="*">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/question"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
For the sake of completeness, this is how my TableLayout
reads in XML:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:shrinkColumns="0"
android:stretchColumns="0"
android:id="@+id/summaryTable">
</TableLayout>
I later populate this with TableRow
s.
Maybe try as follows:
myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("On " + stringData1 + "<br> at " + strinData2);
I know, looks a bit like a "wheelchair" solution, but works for me, though I also fill a text programmatically.
By code also works:
TableLayout tablelayout = (TableLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.table);
tablelayout.setColumnShrinkable(1,true);
1 is the number of column.
You can also used below code
<TableRow >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv_description_heading"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:padding="8dp"
android:text="@string/rating_review"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv_description"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:maxLines="4"
android:padding="8dp"
android:text="The food test was very good."
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textColorHint="@color/hint_text_color" />
</TableRow>
