I want to let it looks like this:
| two |
| lines |
Here is the current layout, not working at all.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="two\nlines"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Any idea?
Thanks!
If you just want to center it (I'm assuming the \n
is working to split the lines), just add android:gravity="center_horizontal"
rather than layout_gravity
.
Using layout gravity moves the actual TextView, using gravity affects the content of the TextView.
Had to add both gravity
and layout_gravity
to align both TextView
and its content
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
if your width is wrap_content, you have to set gravity and layout_gravity both as "center_horizontal"
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="two\nlines"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
However, if your width is "match_parent, you will only have to set gravity as "center_horizontal"
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="two\nlines"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
Hope it helps!
You can use:
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.the_text_view);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("two"+"\n"+"lines"));
I think you must do it from Java:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/the_text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Then:
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.the_text_view);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("two<br/>lines"));
I use:
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
to center two line text
Add property
android:lines="2"
where 2 is no of lines you can set this no as your requirment
