Set upper case for TextView

Question

I have TextView. I would like to show text in upper case mode. Is there attributed for upper case? Just I have text in strings.xml and I need use the line in several place as lower case and upper case.

Answer 1

In the layout XML, you can set the android:textAllCaps attribute on your TextView:

<TextView android:textAllCaps="true"></TextView> 

Answer 2

Use String class method while setting the text to TextView as

tv.setText(strings.toUpperCase()); 

Have a look at this post for detail discussion.

EDIT: This was answered way back before API 14. As other answer mentioned here, textView.isAllCaps = true and its java methods were introduced from TextView. Please use those.
