Auto Scale TextView Text to Fit within Bounds
From June 2018 Android officially started supporting this feature for Android 4.0 (API level 14) and higher.
Check it out at: Autosizing TextViews
With Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
android:autoSizeMinTextSize="12sp"
android:autoSizeMaxTextSize="100sp"
android:autoSizeStepGranularity="2sp" />
Programmatically:
setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(int autoSizeMinTextSize, int autoSizeMaxTextSize,
int autoSizeStepGranularity, int unit)
textView.setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(
1, 17, 1, TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP);
Android versions prior to Android 8.0 (API level 26):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
app:autoSizeMinTextSize="12sp"
app:autoSizeMaxTextSize="100sp"
app:autoSizeStepGranularity="2sp" />
</LinearLayout>
Programmatically:
TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(
TextView textView, int autoSizeMinTextSize, int autoSizeMaxTextSize, int autoSizeStepGranularity, int unit)
TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(textView, 1, 17, 1,
TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP);
Attention: TextView must have layout_width="match_parent" or absolute size!
Auto-fit TextView for Android
Thanks to MartinH's simple fix here, this code also takes care of android:drawableLeft, android:drawableRight, android:drawableTop and android:drawableBottom tags.
My answer here should make you happy Auto Scale TextView Text to Fit within Bounds
I have modified your test case:
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final ViewGroup container = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container);
findViewById(R.id.button1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(final View v) {
container.removeAllViews();
final int maxWidth = container.getWidth();
final int maxHeight = container.getHeight();
final AutoResizeTextView fontFitTextView = new AutoResizeTextView(MainActivity.this);
final int width = _random.nextInt(maxWidth) + 1;
final int height = _random.nextInt(maxHeight) + 1;
fontFitTextView.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
width, height));
int maxLines = _random.nextInt(4) + 1;
fontFitTextView.setMaxLines(maxLines);
fontFitTextView.setTextSize(500);// max size
fontFitTextView.enableSizeCache(false);
fontFitTextView.setBackgroundColor(0xff00ff00);
final String text = getRandomText();
fontFitTextView.setText(text);
container.addView(fontFitTextView);
Log.d("DEBUG", "width:" + width + " height:" + height
+ " text:" + text + " maxLines:" + maxLines);
}
});
}
I am posting code here at per android developer's request:
Final effect:
Sample Layout file:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp" >
<com.vj.widgets.AutoResizeTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:ellipsize="none"
android:maxLines="2"
android:text="Auto Resized Text, max 2 lines"
android:textSize="100sp" /> <!-- maximum size -->
<com.vj.widgets.AutoResizeTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:ellipsize="none"
android:gravity="center"
android:maxLines="1"
android:text="Auto Resized Text, max 1 line"
android:textSize="100sp" /> <!-- maximum size -->
<com.vj.widgets.AutoResizeTextView

How to auto size textview dynamically according to the length of the text in android?
There's now an official solution to this problem. Autosizing TextViews introduced with Android O are available in the Support Library 26 and is backwards compatible all the way down to Android 4.0.
https://developer.android.com/preview/features/autosizing-textview.html
How can I make TextView auto-size in android?
I use ssp and sdp. The ssp a scalable size unit for texts is android SDK that provides a new size unit - ssp (scalable sp). This size unit scales with the screen size based on the sp size unit (for texts). It can help Android developers with supporting multiple screens.and sdp This is the sibling of the sdp size unit that should be used for non text views. https://github.com/intuit/ssp and https://github.com/intuit/sdp use gradle and compile libraries like below
implementation 'com.intuit.sdp:sdp-android:1.0.4'
implementation 'com.intuit.ssp:ssp-android:1.0.4'
in your layout activity xml for example for text you can provide like this
android:textSize="@dimen/_16ssp"
for layouts
android:layout_height="@dimen/_16sdp"
this will take care for any screens enjoy.
for text only add implementation 'com.intuit.ssp:ssp-android:1.0.4' on gradle file then
here is the example on your xml file in TextView implement it like below
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Intuit"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
android:textSize="@dimen/_40ssp"/>
Make TextView auto fit in middle of views
Remove
android:weightSum="3"
and all
android:layout_weight="xx"
and add
android:layout_weight="1"
to your scramble TextView should do the trick. Your first TextView should be on the left and the buttons right. The remaining space will be taken from your scramble TextView.
Auto-size TextView with API before 26
You can use the support library for older APIs
