I have a scrollable textView, and I want to limit the number of lines displayed, however xml properties are not working :
<TextView android:id="@+id/tv_addesc" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="vertical" android:maxLines="12" android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF" android:textSize="15sp" /> the number of lines displayed is 50 and there are 900 chars in the text.
How can I limit the number of lines displayed and make it scrollable ?
Edit : I tested with 846 lines and 15824 chars, the whole text is displayed regardless of different properties set.
Edit : there was a second component besides the textView, when i removed it it worked, so I will find a workaround. Thank you !

you can extend the TextView class and overwrite the setText() function. In this function you check for text length or word cound. Better than counting the text length or the word cound a better way would be to use the "maxLines" attribute along with "ellipsize" attribute to attain the desired effect.
text_view. post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { if (text_view. getLineCount() < text_view. getMaxLines()) { // do stuff } } });
Android Ellipsize Android TextView ellipsize property Causes words in the text that are longer than the view's width to be ellipsized ( means to shorten text using an ellipsis, i.e. three dots …) instead of broken in the middle to fit it inside the given view.
You just have to set a number of lines in your TextView like this:
android:maxLines = "10" and you must also add:
android:minLines="1" The rest of this not necessary if you are not using scrolling
and a property which says that this TextView should be scrollable vertically:
android:scrollbars = "vertical" And in your Java-code:
yourTextView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod()) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
