Android : Adjust Text Font Size To Fit Textview
Apr 11, 2010
Is there any way in android to adjust the textsize in a textview to fit the space it occupies?
E.g. I'm using a TableLayout and adding several textviews to each row. Since I don't want the textviews to wrap the text I rather see that it lowers the font size of the content.
I have tried measureText, but since I don't know the size of the column it seems troublesome to use.
This is the code where I want to change the font size to something that fits
CODE:.................

I have a friend that is visually impaired and has a hard time reading normal sized fonts on cell phones. she currently has a blackberry tour because she can adjust the font size and make it large enough that she can read the screen easily. does anyone know of an android phone that you can adjust the font size on? or is there a program for a android phone that blows the screen up? she really likes the capabilities of android phones but needs to be able to see whats on the screen!

This is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.

I have a Nexus 7 (got it for $25 because the previous owner dropped it and about 1/2" square area of the upper right side of the digitizer no longer responds to touch, aside from that it's 100% functional, and it's the 8GB model) and I also have a Netflix subscription which my Wife uses quite frequently, but because she's deaf the captions are an absolute must. Unfortunately with the Nexus 7's awesome 1280x800 display the default font size Netflix has chosen is pretty small, it's like a 20 point font or something as this screenshot shows:
I've been searching through the filesystem on this Nexus 7 and I haven't had much luck with locating something like a "build.prop" file for the Netflix app that might allow me to adjust the size of the font it uses by default. If there's a way to alter that and make it about twice as large as the default size I really would love to make that a reality.

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'm using the FontFitTextView that was posted in this other thread, but it isn't working exactly right for me. The measureText() call is returning a number that is obviously too small to display the string. When it runs through to find a font size that will allow the text to fit, the font size it settles on is still too big. I feel like there is some other kind of padding or margin or some other invisible that is contributing the math that makes up the width which is causing the discrepancy.For example I want to set the text of my FontFitTextView to be "10,000.25".The width of my FontFitTextView is 96 pixels, with 8px padding on both sides, so my available width is 80 pixels. The call to measureText() says that the text "10,000.25" is 64 pixels wide. This means that the current font size should be small enough to display the entire string. However, when the string is actually drawn on the TextView the last 2 characters are chopped off and all I see is "10,000." instead of "10,000.25"

Just moved from iPhone to Galaxy S3 ICS. The Email app has no place to change the font/text size and it is HUGE. Like so huge I can read the text 6 feet away, that is not an exageration. I need to shirink this by at least 50%,

I am developing an application in which the layout is independent of screen resolution.
Now my problem is that in TextView the textview layout does change itself when the resolution of screen changes but the size of text remain same.I want that when the resolution is high, according to that the text size should also adjust itself(i.e. text size should be changed).And similarly when resolution is low the text size should also shrink.But here when i reduce Y-AXIS to an extent the text vanishes.I will really appreciate any answer.

How can you manually change the font size of a webview? e.g. When the page loads up in the webview the font size is like 24pt. and way too large for my android's screen. I've looked into the "websettings" but it seems that the two are not related.

I have two devices - HTC Tattoo and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. One has 145 DPI, the other 245 DPI.
When I specify font size for a TextView in points, like this:
CODE:...................
I get different physical size of text on these two devices. On 245 DPI, the text is barely readable.
Now, "pt" size is supposed to be physical. I.e., in my test, both text blocks should have letters of the same physical height. Which is not the case.

I create a game board with squares. The size of each square (both height and width) is phone_pixel_width/number_of_squares to maximize the size of each square on the game screen depending on resolution (oh and I do not support mdpi devices, thus it does not get to small).Now my problem is that I also write text in these squares. If I use the same font size for HVGA screens and for WVGA (hdpi-normal) screens the font gets to big on the HVGA (mdpi-normal) screen. I was thinking about being able to select font size depending on its width and could thus adapt the font size perfectly to the calculated square width. Is there any easy way of doing this (note: I am using TextPaint and not TextView) or do I have to calculate this myself, on the fly so to speak by creating some kind of table at start-up.

Full disclosure: There are millions of us semi-old guys who need reading glasses, but have perfect sight for everything else. We need the ability to use a larger font for the calling number. Its OK if the caller is in the contact list, but if it's not I really want to read the number quickly and decide yes/no on taking the call. Grabbing the readers takes time, and can be sketchy when driving.
