TextJustify-Android not loading and scrolling

Question

Using the library TextJustify-Android there are two issues for me

1. The text is not loaded/shown when I open the Activity for the first time only when I open it for the next time. Providing image from emulator (same situation on phone)
2. The text is shown, justified but not scrollable. Was changing the parameters, including maxLines, nothing helped. Providing the full `XML

Answer 1

Remove the maxLines attribute from the XML layout. Currently you are setting the maxLines which seems to limit the content to just 100 lines. And don't put DocumentView inside a ScrollView because DocumentView is actually a subclass of ScrollView.

As a sidenote, I recommend you check out the SqueezeHyphenator which will hyphenate your text inside DocumentView

UPDATE: It works fine for me. You can see my demo. I can post my demo code on Github upon request.

Maybe you are not calling documentView.requestLayout() after you set the text.
