How to find the Text Area(Height/Width) of TextView programmatically in android

Question

I have an EditText, a Button and a TextView. On clicking the button, textview shows the text written in edittext. Is it possible to find the size of textview occupied depending upon text. i.e. If It has three characters "abc", what is width now, if it has 5 characters like "abcde" , then what is the width ?

Answer 1

Rect bounds = new Rect();
Paint textPaint = textView.getPaint();
textPaint.getTextBounds(text,0,text.length(),bounds);
int height = bounds.height();
int width = bounds.width();

or

textView.setText("bla");
textView.measure(0, 0);
textView.getMeasuredWidth();
textView.getMeasuredHeight();

Answer 2

Please try this:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    TextView edit = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.edit);
    edit.setTextSize(20);       
    edit.setText("Hello, world");       
    edit.measure(0, 0);
    int width = edit.getMeasuredWidth();
    Log.w("width", width.toString());
}

Before you get width, you have to measure the view / label / text edit. Please let me know if this is not working.

Answer 3

TextView txt = new TextView(mContext);
txt.setText("Some Text)";
int height = txt.getLineCount() *  txt.getLineHeight();
int width = txt.getWidth();

Answer 4

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

yourTextView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
   @Override
   public void onGlobalLayout() {
     int width = yourTextView.getMeasuredWidth();
     int height = yourTextView.getMeasuredHeight();

   }
});
