Calculate text size according to width of text area

Question

I have a text that should be set to TextView with specified width. It needs to calculate the text size to fit it into TextView.

In other words: Is there a way to fit text into TextView area, like the ImageView scale type feature?

Answer 1

This should be a simple solution:

public void correctWidth(TextView textView, int desiredWidth) {     Paint paint = new Paint();     Rect bounds = new Rect();      paint.setTypeface(textView.getTypeface());     float textSize = textView.getTextSize();     paint.setTextSize(textSize);     String text = textView.getText().toString();     paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);      while (bounds.width() > desiredWidth)     {         textSize--;         paint.setTextSize(textSize);         paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);     }      textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, textSize); }
