Additional Line Spacing Issue on Custom Font

Question

I use a custom font / custom Typeface for a TextView on my app. The TextView displays a paragraph of a text, but with the additional line spacing from the font itself it's rather irritating. So there's like a quite gap between one line with another on the paragraph. Can anybody know how to reduce the spacing through XML or programmatically?

Answer 1

You can use the lineSpacingMultiplier attribute of your TextView to reduce/increase the spacing. Like this:

<TextView
    android:lineSpacingMultiplier="0.6"
    ...
    />
