I have a problem placing a textView at specified center's x and y coordinates. Firstly, I tried to set the text in the textView, and to move the view with the width and the height of the view from this link.
But it doesn't work, and I'd like to try something else. I'd like to know if there is a method to get the size which a specified text will take in my textView? I mean, I know the text and the textSize, how can I get the width and the height my textView will take?
Something like the method (NSString)sizeWithFont; for those who know iPhone dev.

To use preset sizes to set up the autosizing of TextView in XML, use the android namespace and set the following attributes: Set the autoSizeText attribute to either none or uniform. none is a default value and uniform lets TextView scale uniformly on horizontal and vertical axes.
Adding fonts to a TextView To set a font for the TextView , do one of the following: In the layout XML file, set the fontFamily attribute to the font file you want to access. Open the Properties window to set the font for the TextView .
app:autoSizeMinTextSize=”10sp” using this attribute the TextView will be resized up to the size of 10sp and app:autoSizeStepGranularity=”2sp” using this attribute we are uniformly reducing the size of the TextView as 2sp when it goes out of the screen.
Rect bounds = new Rect(); textView.getPaint().getTextBounds(textView.getText().toString(), 0, textView.getText().length(), bounds); bounds.width() will give you the accurate width of the text in the Text View.
