When I define in XML a TextView, how do I add new line to it?
seams to not work.
<TextView
android:text="Line1:
-Line2
-Line3"
android:id="@+id/txtTitlevalue"
android:layout_width="54dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textSize="11px"
></TextView>

Currently I have an edittext field that when the user presses enter it does mostly what I want it to, validate an IP Address format and inform the user if it is wrong. How do I make it so when the user presses enter it checks it like it is supposed to be does not enter the newline character?
Here is my code for it.
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent arg2) {
if(validateIPaddress(m_etIPAddress.getText().toString())){
ConfigData.m_IPAddress = m_etIPAddress.getText().toString();
} else { showAlertDialog("Invalid IP Address
Example: 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0","Error: ");
m_etIPAddress.setText(ConfigData.m_IPAddress);
m_etIPAddress.requestFocus();
} return false;
}
Another problem I have is that in the false condition of the validation, that it will not bring up the soft keyboard to allow the user to reedit that text field. If the user clicks on another edit text the window gives it focus, and allows the user to edit the second text field while still maintaining the 'green outline' around the original edittext.
The EditText still creates a newline. I tried calling that when I create the EditText and it shows the dialog then inserts a newline character at the beginning which is weird because the
m_etIPAddress.setText(ConfigData.m_IPAddress);
Should automatically overwrite anything in that field to the static IP saved within ConfigData. (my settings class) and I think the focus might work, the problem is that after requestFocus, that EditText shows it has focus but is unresponsive. I can click on other EditText's and modify them, while it still shows the focus outline on the IP EditText. If I click on the IP EditText it doesn't actually do anything. Its kind of strange.
I have the following string defined in strings.xml
<string name="InfoLong"><b>%1$s\%</b><br/>Tie:%2$s\%<br/>Win%3$s\%</ string>
and in my code ...
Can I embed a newline in a format string?

I want to do something like that. For example, I have a textview with String

I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.

I am making an application like Facebook. In m.facebook.com, when I open it I see they do one thing specailly.
(Alice) is writing on (BackStreetBoy1010938920) wall
Because the width of Mobile screen is small so the real message like tha
(Alice) is writing on (BackStreet
Boy10101009393) wall
I guess they use TextView for (BackStreetBoy1010938920) but I can't do like this.
I have a layout that looks something like this:
[TextView 1] [TextView 2]
[ TextView 2 spill-over ]
Essentially, I need the contents of TextView 2 to wrap to the next line, but start where TextView 1 starts. I was thinking that if I knew how much text would fit into TextView 2 before it runs out of space on line one, I could take the rest of the text and put it in another TextView below the first two. So I need to measure how much text will fit into a TextView (which can be tricky because as far as I can tell, Android will try to break the text in a TextView at a good location so that it won't break a word in the middle if it can be avoided) or I need a new idea on how to lay this out.
Can any one tell me whats going wrong with the text, text exceeds then one line not getting wrap to next line going beyond the screen.
Following is the code...
I have two activities or "screens".
The second activity has an AlertDialogBox with radiobuttons for selecting a single option.
I want that after an option has been selected from the second activity's DialogBox, it should be displayed on the first activity screen in a text-view.
That is, suppose the user chooses "Green" from the dialogbox in the second activity, then "Green" should be displayed on the first activity screen.
Whats the way to pass a radiobuttonvalue to the textview?
Lets say you have a normal textview, with "Stackoverflow" written in it, I would like to know if it it possible to rotate the textview about -90°, to have the S at the bottom and the W at the top of the screen?
of course, i could write my text in an image, rotate it and use it that way, but im interested in text right now.

I'm not referring to textInput, either. I mean that once you have static text in a TextView (populated from a Database call to user inputted data (that may not be Capitalized)), how can I make sure they are capitalized?

Is there any other way to do this?
Is there a way to adjust the spacing between characters in an Android TextView? I believe this is typically called "kerning".
I'm aware of the android:textScaleX attribute, but that compresses the characters along with the spacing.
I have an object on my main.xml layout file called thefact that is TextView. I also have a string called sharefact. I want to save what text is in the TextView into the sharefact string. I can't do:
