Android: avoid breaking line in TextView String parts [duplicate]

Question

I would like to avoid breaking lines in specifical parts of the String.

Let's say we have this String:

Speed (m/s)

The ideal would be either not jumping at all and having the full String in one line, or, if the jump is needed, in this way:

Speed
(m/s)

What I want to avoid are thing like this:

Speed (m/
s)

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try to use non-breaking space between the Speed and "(m/s)". The Unicode no-break space character (\u00A0) should work for TextView.
