I tried using autoSizeTextType
.
My minSdk is 24, all the tools are 26 and compat ist 26-beta2 as well.
Making them adjustable was tried through code:
dialogWeight.touchables.filterIsInstance<Button>().forEach {
TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeWithDefaults(it,
TextViewCompat.AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_UNIFORM) }
And xml:
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="7"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"/>
Any ideas ? I'm starting to believe that it's currently bugged
Okay, so the combination of settings that worked :
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
android:text="7"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"/>
You also need the appcompat-v7 library as a dependency in your module build.gradle file.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
}
The key thing to understand is to use app:autoSizeTextType
, as opposed to android:autoSizeTextType
Per the documentation:
To define the default setting in XML through the support library, use the app namespace and set the autoSizeTextType attribute to none or uniform.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform" />
</LinearLayout>
I solved it programmatically.
TextView number1 = findViewById(R.id.number_one);
TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeWithDefaults(number1, TextViewCompat.AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_UNIFORM);
and the XML:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/number_one"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="1" />
