I'm using android:ems or android:minEms to fix the minimum width of a set of buttons so they are all the same width. Are there better ways to accomplish that objective? This works but there are some mysteries regarding ems.
The ems attribute works correctly with the normal typeface, but typeface "monospace" is quite a bit smaller/tighter and the ems attribute does not scale to fit the width of characters in monospace. For instance, if minEMS is set to 8 it has has room for 12 characters. Without monospace it fits exactly 8 'm's. Just wondering if this is correct behavior and how to know what ems means with monospace. Also I'm not clear on the difference between 'sp' and 'dp' for textSize measure. TextView docs recommend using 'sp' but I haven't found where the user scaling factor can be changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
