I've already looked at the TextView source, as well as the source of the Paint object and other objects. I haven't been able to find anywhere where the data I'm looking for is stored, or at least returnable. But there are many android objects to look through, and as I mentioned, I'm trying to avoid reverse engineering a solution for this (looking through the source and rewriting what is already done internally) unless there is no easier way to accomplish this.
Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to provide "paging" through a large piece of text, where each "page" is a screen that contains a subset of the text. This is to implement something similar to the "page turning" that is done within e-reader applications. I know how to implement the pages and the page-turning, itself (circular list of screens, event capture, animation, etc.), but the part that I still need is to determine exactly how much text will fit into each of these pages. As I mentioned, I know I can "re-invent the wheel" and use the brute force method and calculate this by means of view area, border and spacing size, font size, etc., and by manually word-wrapping the text, but if there is already is an easier way to determine how much text to stick into each page, I would much prefer to use such an existing method. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
