Android : Way To Adjust Font Size
Oct 7, 2010
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!

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 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.

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.

In emulator, size of edittext and button looks nice but in motorola milestones, both of them are so small. I think there are different types of screen layout. Is it possible to adjust the size automatically?

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.

I am trying to put CheckBox with multiple lines and all lines after fist with smaller font size same as we have under from home page Menu->Settings->Sound & Display->Silent mode. It shows text "Silent mode" on first line and then some more text (kind of help/current settings) for this option and still CheckBox itself is aligned in the center of all the lines (may be on left or right side). Is that can be done by only one control/widget or group of many controls/widgets?I can only think of by using table but it is complex.

Does anybody know if I will be able to increase the email font size on the Incredible? I have BB Storm 2 and can't wait to get rid of it. I tried and returned the Droid because I don't want to put my reading glasses on every time I get an email or text. I have talked to several Android 2.1 users who tell me that this can be done, but not a single one has been able to show me that it can be done.

I've used an Alert Dialog builder to display 6 items my user can choose from. Unfortunately for just a few pixels missing, it displays only half of the last item and adds a scrollbar. Beside, centering of the dialog is awkward, there is a 20px padding at the top but only 2px at the bottom. I was wondering if there is a way to reduce font size or vertical spacing in the Alert Dialog builder programatically.
