[Jorge Antonio Muñoz Herbas]

[android-developers] Re: TextView maxLines based on height

[Ankur Avlani]

 Hi All,

 I am designing an native custom article view in android.  My requirement
 is such that I have a long text which i need to break into pages.  I can
 find out the total height of my TextView, how do i calculate the max
 visible lines for the view based on the height?

 I know Paint.breakText will do for me, but its very slow.  Please have a
 look at the following code snippet:

 public static int getTextLineCountForHeight(String text, int maxWidth,
 float textSize, Typeface typeface, int maxHeight) {
  TextPaint paint = new TextPaint(Paint.LINEAR_TEXT_FLAG |
 Paint.SUBPIXEL_TEXT_FLAG);
 paint.setTextSize(textSize);
  paint.setTypeface(typeface);

 int lineCount = 0;

 int index = 0;
  int length = text.length();
 Rect bounds = new Rect();
 bounds.setEmpty();
  while(index  length - 1) {
 bounds.setEmpty();
 index += paint.breakText(text, index, length, true, maxWidth, null);
  lineCount++;
 paint.getTextBounds(Py, 0, 2, bounds);
 if((int)Math.floor(lineCount * bounds.height())=maxHeight){
  return lineCount;
 }

 }

  return lineCount;
 }

 textView.getHeight()/textView.getLineHeight() doesnt give me the correct
visible lines.

Can someone please suggest me some faster was to achieve my requirement.

 Any help is highly appreciated.

 -Ankur.

 Never mind the source. You shouldn't have to read source to figure out how

From the Javadocs:

by the user to perform an action.
... instead of applying an

 to

XML layout, using the 
android:onClickhttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#onClick
 attribute.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html
Displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. 

Seems like points to differentiate them are already revealed.

[android-developers] Re: TextView vs Button

[Nobu Games]

Well, a look at the source code reveals that Seshu has a point. There is 
virtually no difference between a Button and a TextView:

public class Button extends TextView {
 public Button(Context context) {
 this(context, null);
 }

 public Button(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
 this(context, attrs, com.android.internal.R.attr.buttonStyle);
 }

 public Button(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
 super(context, attrs, defStyle);
 }
 }

Any thoughts on this? I don't care if you answer my question. I'm curious
about why leaving the app forces a refresh that the links show but in run

Just wanted to add some information that might be relevant:
My project is compiled against Google API 7, minSDK is 7 and target SDK is 
8.

 Hi

 I've noticed Jellybean is having a different behavior when it comes to

 I have a class that extends Widget.TextView, up until API 16 the textSize 
 was already known after you initialize your class using TextView's 
 constructors (at least on APIs 7-15)

 Why is this no longer true on API 16? is that a bug or on purpose?

Yuvi,
 I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue.  Also do 
you have an example of how you were able to get this to work in the

have the same issue.

 mFadingMarqueeEnabled =

 For some reason on the Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0.1) this is actually

 If you have an ICS device could you check if fading edges work for you? (a

Just use android:requiresFadingEdge instead of hacking into the

Re: [android-developers] Re: Textview gravity resets

Ok, understood.

fill_parent refers to the parent's width. Perhaps the text view's parent
changes its width?

An easy way to find out is to temporarily assign bright, solid, distinct
background colors to views in your hierarchy.

[android-developers] Re: Textview gravity resets

[adev]

the parent is a tablerow, then a tablelayout, then linear layout
(relative)
so I have width set to fill_parent set to all.

I actually do have it colored already inorder to have a border
the size does not seem to change.

I think the strange part is that this does not happen til after the
adview loads.
at first, I thought it was due to the height changing, but I tried
fixing the height of the adview and that did not change anything.

   When I start the app, the adview height seems to be zero, then after

   This is when the gravity is reset.

No, not at all. Just reset the gravity of only the TextView in code.
  You
need not to reset the gravity of all of them, as you are facing the
  problem
only because of TextView's gravity.

 I'd like to know the cause of the issue I'm seeing now and solve it.

The cause of issue might be that, your adview is being loaded
  dynamically,
hence you have to resolve the matter dynamically through code.

[android-developers] Re: Textview gravity resets

[adev]

I understand what you are saying, but I am saying that it does not
work.
For the textview:
layout_width=fill_parent
gravity=right|center_vertical

It still does not work.
It looks fine until the ad loads.

 If your text view is set to wrap_content, its width will match the text it
 contains, and so, by definition, changing android:gravity will have no
 effect (this is true for single-line text, but let's keep things simple for
 the sake of discussion).

 What you want is one of:

 android:layout_width=fill_parent
 android:gravity=right

 or

 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:layout_gravity=right

 Note the use of layout_gravity in the second case, pushing the view itself
 to the right. That's for a vertical linear layout - for relative layout,
 use android:layout_alignParentRight=true.

[android-developers] Re: Textview gravity resets

Also, even if I did do it dynamically, how do I know when to do it?
I would need to trigger the gravity code to run after the ad has been
loaded or when the gravity gets changed.
Is there a way to trigger off one of these events?

I HAD to add a scroll view to the text view.
 
ScrollView 
 xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
 android:layout_width=fill_parent
 android:layout_height=fill_parent
 android:orientation=vertical
 android:isScrollContainer=true
 android:scrollbars=vertical|horizontal
 android:scrollbarStyle=outsideOverlay 
 
TextView
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:inputType=text|textMultiLine
android:scrollHorizontally=false
/TextView
 
And for the word wrap to work, see the attributes for TextView above.

[android-developers] Re: textView Clears on Rotation

[King Salamon]

Thank you everyone for the great insight on this issue. I tried the
simple -down and dirty workaround by adding
android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden
to the activity tag in the manifest. This did in fact work as the data
persisted after rotation.

However, as many have pointed out, this is not really a viable, long
term solution, and a better fix would be to store the data either
using shared preferences, a database, a file, or the onSaved instance
method.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get any of these to work! Can anyone
provide a code sample with a very simple example -perhaps just one
textview element that can keep its data using one of the above
methods?

Thanks in advance

 False. Special consideration may be required but they do not need to

 False.

 If the thread has interaction with the UI, you need to deal with the
 thread the same way you deal with the AsyncTask. If the thread has no
 interaction with the UI, an equivalent AsyncTask would also not
 require any additional work.

  5. Special consideration needs to be taken for the things saved in the

 False.

 There is nothing you can put in a Bundle that can leak a Context. This
 is by definition -- a Bundle has to be able to be passed across
 process boundaries, and a Context cannot be passed across process
 boundaries.

 Now, had you written things returned by
 onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(), that *is* an issue.

  With configChanges:

  1. Layout may need to be changed on rotation
  2. Other unknown issues

 It's not just screen rotations and it's not just layouts. If the user
 changes their locale and comes back to your running app, that's a
 configuration change. If the user drops their device into a car dock,
 that's a configuration change. If the user removes the device from the
 car dock, that's a configuration change. And so on.

 You also forgot about your options menus and perhaps others. And, not
 only do you have to deal with this for each and every resource you are
 using today, but also for each and every resource you add in the
 future. And for each and every new configuration change that appears
 in the future (averaging one new one per Android release).

  With the resources being automatically swapped out by Android, a simple
  refresh on screen elements would pick up a new language if you needed to
  support that.

 Not necessarily. Many applications have strings beyond those wired
 into a layout resource, which if cached would need to be reloaded.
 Options menus are cached if the user opened the menu before. Drawables
 get cached. And so on.

*TreKing, Kostya, Romain Guy,*

I do understand what you guys are saying, so I am listening, but it 
seems to be a contradiction since it seems most of the internal 
applications use it, including quite a few that Google themselves send 
with the devices. Maybe they aren't, but based on the speed of the 
rotate and the way the screen looks, I'm pretty sure they are.


[snip]


That's where those methods pointed out by TreKing come into play, as an 
optimization.


And here is a blog post written by Romain Guy that covers this in more 
detail:


http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/02/faster-screen-orientation-change.html

Those are optimizations for the common cases.

The manifest attribute is fine, too, as long as 1) one understands that 
it's also an optimization 2)  the code can handle the general case, 
where the activity gets recreated and 3) the layout is the same for all 
orientations.




It seems like there are so many times where this is useful and being 
used, yet people seem to be trying to tell people that it is wrong, 
incorrect, you are a horrible person and coder for using this.


To me, it's wrong to mix up the concepts of here is how you fix this 
problem and this is an optimization you can make.


To me it's also wrong to forget about the general case, i.e. other 
config changes and the out of memory killer (and maybe more cases I 
can't think of right now).


YMMV.

Re: [android-developers] Re: textView Clears on Rotation

[Studio LFP]

I'm compiling a list of things that need to happen in both cases. So far it 
looks like a lot bigger challenge to not use the android:configChanges than 
to use it.

I've read the optimization post plenty of times and do understand it, but 
I'd like to get the big picture for the usages of both to be able to decide 
which is better in certain cases.

Here's a few of the issues I'm trying to find good solutions to when *not*using 
configChanges:

1. Window states are not saved. ListView scroll locations, ExpandedListView 
drop-downs and scroll locations, ScrollView locations, etc.
2. OpenGL VBOs and textures loaded into memory get destroyed and have to be 
reprocessed and copied back into memory along with the GLSurfaceView state 
information
3. Special consideration now has to be taken with AsyncTasks since they are 
linked to the UI and need to be stopped, location of processing saved and 
restarted
4. Special consideration for threading, but not quite as much as AsyncTasks
5. Special consideration needs to be taken for the things saved in the 
bundle so you don't leak the previous context. This could get tricky because 
I'm sure a lot of people pass a context to objects or blend data and view 
objects

*With* configChanges:

1. Layout may need to be changed on rotation
2. Other unknown issues

With the resources being automatically swapped out by Android, a simple 
refresh on screen elements would pick up a new language if you needed to 
support that. That also includes any images that might be swapped over, but 
as I have to refresh the state of my windows even when it isn't rotated, 
this is already written in the base application anyways.

To me it's also wrong to forget about the general case, i.e. other config 
 changes and the out of memory killer (and maybe more cases I can't think of 
 right now). 


This part did catch my eye and it is what I was wondering. Is there 
something that the configChanges does to cause internal issues because it is 
bugged? All of the configuration changes are fairly straight forward and 
documented, but if there is some issue internally, would be nice to know.

In an effort for this discussion not to go to waste, I'm trying to get the 
full picture compiled together on what has to happen on both so that I can 
get a post on my site or somewhere to help others. I know we all see this 
question fly by on this group (and on other help areas) all the time, so I 
figure a post of the compiled pros and cons of each would be helpful.

Anyone that would like to toss in additional information about the things 
you have to deal with on either occasion (using configChanges or not), 
please do so and I will compile it for us for future reference.

This is true, but he didn't ask about that.  He just asked about a way for

The easiest and fastest way to solve that particular problem is the

Why not have him do it the right way from get-go if you can? It's not like

IMHO, the configChanges attributes are for use when you know exactly what
you're doing with them and why. Using them to get around saving / restoring

*King Salamon*,

As stated previously, regardless of which way you choose to do it (neither 
is correct or incorrect), just read up on the things you need to handle 
to make them work like you need them to.

If you really want to save a state long-term, I would suggest you also look 
at SharedPreferences:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html

You aren't guaranteed your state will still be there even if you do save it 
in a bundle. You should treat the state of your application as volatile at 
all times. If a state or piece of data is really important to keep around, 
commit it to disk immediately via the SharedPreferences or another method 
like a custom file, database, etc.. Devices are constantly switching states 
even when we don't want them to. Battery dying, being dropped, locking up, 
and tons of others things make sure the mobile environment is never 
guaranteed, so write accordingly.

The user changing the language is a config change (likely rare, except 
for developers testing localization, but still).


Possibly more commonplace, docking (and undocking), is a config change.

Back to the original topic: Andorid automatically saves and restores 
those views that have an ID. If a view has the default ID value of -1 
(either not assigned in XML or not set in code), it's state is not saved.


And IIRC, TextView by default doesn't save or restore state even if 
there is an ID. Setting android:freezesText=true in XML or calling 
setFreezesText(true) from code is supposed to force saving, but I've 
never tried it myself.



   public voidsetFreezesText(boolean freezesText)

Since:API Level 1 
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html#level1


Control whether this text view saves its entire text contents when 
freezing to an icicle, in addition to dynamic state such as cursor 
position. By default this is false, not saving the text. Set to true if 
the text in the text view is not being saved somewhere else in 
persistent storage (such as in a content provider) so that if the view 
is later thawed the user will not lose their data.

It really seems to me that you're the one ignoring some important

Re: [android-developers] Re: textView Clears on Rotation

[Studio LFP]

*TreKing, Kostya, Romain Guy,*

I do understand what you guys are saying, so I am listening, but it seems to 
be a contradiction since it seems most of the internal applications use it, 
including quite a few that Google themselves send with the devices. Maybe 
they aren't, but based on the speed of the rotate and the way the screen 
looks, I'm pretty sure they are.

There are other issue like when using OpenGL and putting a game in landscape 
only mode. If the device is in portrait when it is launched, you are going 
to get a instance of your application in portrait just to be destroyed at an 
arbitrary time after launch to be remade into a landscape. Is there a good 
way to know this is coming so you don't do a lot of expensive instructions 
just to have to do them again?

Also, what about times where a particular activity may take a bit of time to 
setup properly and the users tilts the device slight, but doesn't mean to 
rotate it, and it rotates. They immediately rotate it back causing yet 
another reload for a simple whoops. Not to mention clearing the location of 
ListView scrolls and the likes which causes the user to have to find 
specific items again. I catch myself doing that all the time.

Not only that, but with a lot of devices having slide out game pads and 
keyboards. This becomes a lifesaver to not have to deal with a stream of 
destroy/remake when the hardware is being pulled out and put back. I've 
watched people look at a text, spin the device, drop the keyboard out, type 
a reply and do the first two steps in reverse. That would equal three 
destroy/remakes on pulling the keyboard out and two destroy/remakes on 
putting the keyboard back in ( I dealt with this with myself and people I 
know with the Droid/2/3).

It seems like there are so many times where this is useful and being used, 
yet people seem to be trying to tell people that it is wrong, incorrect, 
you are a horrible person and coder for using this.

 He makes a good point. Solving this issue by requesting to handle 
 orientation changes yourself just masks the problem (unless you request to 
 handle *all* configuration changes in which case you make more work for 
 yourself.) Handling orientation changes yourself also has a lot of side 
 effects (if you want to have a different layout in landscape and portrait 
 you now need to deal with it manually.)

There are things you can do improve the speed of destroy / recreate, like
using static or singleton objects to hold data or use
onRetatinLastConfigurationInstance.

[android-developers] Re: textView Clears on Rotation

[Studio LFP]

Add this to your activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml

android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden

That will fix you up unless you have some other specifics set like different 
XML layouts for portrait and landscape. If you do, you may want to use the 
bundle or just change the view dynamically from the onConfigurationChange 
event you'll get from that attribute.

That glyph isn't even in standard Windows fonts, so I'd say, no, the

There is an app called Unicode Map, and it shows the square.  So you
are out of luck.  If you want to display it, you will need to use your
own font.

As Zsolt and Kostya already told you Android won't have a font that
includes such special characters.

The one you seem to want to use looks like a printer thingy. If you
are trying to use unicode characters as icons then you'd better start
using Pngs for your icons. Including a font that would hold all of the
fancy characters in unicode up to #5000 will add at least 1-2 Mb to
the overall size of your app.

A png saved for web in 48x48 is less than 10 Ko. And you can use it as
the background of your text field.

[android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts

[Chris Stewart]

I wanted to follow up on this question.  I got it working tonight by using
RelativeLayout.  The overall design is as such:

RelativeLayout
 -- LinearLayout
   -- Fragment A
   -- Fragment B
   -- Fragment C
 -- /LinearLayout
 -- RelativeLayout (with android:layout_alignParentBottom=true)
   -- TextView
 -- /RelativeLayout
/RelativeLayout

Re: [android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts

[Justin Anderson]

Maybe it is just me, but what is the point of putting a LinearLayout inside
a RelativeLayout?  And for that matter, what is the point of having a
RelativeLayout inside another RelativeLayout that contains only a single
view?

I don't know really know what the requirements of your app, but you should
be able to achieve the same thing with just a single RelativeLayout and all
your other fragments/views inside of that...

One of the big advantages of RelativeLayout is that there is less need for
nesting layouts...

Re: [android-developers] Re: TextView at the bottom of a Layout, like a status bar of sorts

[Chris Stewart]

The only point is that's what I've found to work, nothing more.  Perhaps I'm
not doing it correctly, but it's like pulling teeth trying to get layouts to
work like I want them to, so when I find something that works I'm hard
pressed to sit there for hours trying to optimize it 100%.

Thanks for the idea. The problem is, it inconsistent even among froyo versions.
For example, the layout is off when running the Google APIs (Level 8) AVD,
but not with the Android 2.2 (Level 8) AVD. Those have the same build number,
so not clear what the difference is.

I'll just have to add a switch to disable the custom font I am afraid.
Some characters won't be displayed, but still a bit better, then a completely
jumbled layout.

This is used for calculating the text height, in turn used to calculate

Try setting the text value after setting the typeface?  It may
incorrectly
cache the measurement using the view's Paint's font, and not revise
that
measurement when the typeface is changed.

 OK, this only happens when I use a custom font. This same font works fine on
 other devices. Anything obvious I am missing? What I am doing is very simple:

 Typeface tf  = Typeface.createFromFile(my-font.ttf);
 myText.setTypeface(tf);

 There are no errors or warnings in logcat. I'm guessing the custom font 
 somehow
 is screwing up text drawing. Is there anyway I can get it redraw the

 with postInvalidate() and requestLayout() with no success.

Thanks. I had the same idea, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I've tried
setting the text in onStart() instead of in onCreate(), using postDelayed()
and combinations thereof.

And then, of course, loading the font fails on Gingerbread fails
with the even more helpful 'native typeface cannot be made'

[android-developers] Re: TextView length limit? How strange!

[Jenus Dong]

anybody?
Later I did some small testing in G3, I found that:
If there is a TextView in the activtiy layout, it can show more than 4096
characters, but when it owned by the item of listview, it just display
invisible.
If there is a TextView with wrap_content with property owned by the item of
listview, it will be cutted one line.

 Hi, everyone.
 I having a ListView,  which has three TextView components in every item.
 One TextView possiblily display too long text, for example 5000 characters
 in Ascii code. The testing result is:
 G7 ,2.2 , it is ok. But when it running in G3, it just display space, no at
 all one character. So I just try and trial, when
 words.setText(ss.subSequence(0, 3653));
 it display all.
 when
 words.setText(ss.subSequence(0, 3654));
 it display none.

 The listview item layout is like:

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 LinearLayout
 xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
 android:layout_width=fill_parent
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:orientation=vertical 

 RelativeLayout
 android:layout_width=fill_parent
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:orientation=vertical
 android:background=@drawable/friendlist_friend_selector 

 TextView
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:id=@+id/chat_item_words
 android:focusable=false
 android:text=a
 #android:maxLength=3653
 android:textColor=@android:color/black
 android:layout_marginLeft=10dp
 android:layout_marginRight=5dp
 android:layout_marginTop=10dp /

 TextView
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:id=@+id/chat_item_name
 android:text=ALIDA:

 android:layout_marginLeft=10dp
 android:layout_marginTop=10dp /

 TextView
 android:layout_height=wrap_content
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:id=@+id/chat_item_date
 android:focusable=false
 android:text=08-18 22:03
 android:textSize=14sp
 android:textColor=@color/message_date
 android:layout_below=@+id/chat_item_words
 android:layout_alignParentRight=true
 android:layout_marginRight=10dp
 android:layout_marginTop=4dp /

 /RelativeLayout



 View
 android:layout_height=1dp
 android:layout_width=wrap_content
 android:background=@color/friendlist_friend_line /

 /LinearLayout

 So android:maxLength=3653,  it just works.
 I would appreciated if having some hints, thanks a lot.

You might also be able to scroll the text by restricting the ellipsize

android:maxLines=1
android:scrollHorizontally=true

I do this with an EditText and it works perfectly.

  I haven't used it for Android, but usually there is a Scrollable container

Re: [android-developers] Re: TextView with a top margin that is proportional to the height of the parent view

[Kostya Vasilyev]

John,

You can do this with LinearLayout and layout_weight attribute that it 
supports:


LinearLayout layout_height=fill_parent orientation=vertical
View
layout_height=0dp
layout_weight=20/
TextView
layout_height=0dp
layout_weight=80/
/LinearLayout

The top view acts as a spacer, taking up 20% of the screen height, and 
the TextView starts below that.

Yes, but you'll have to do it at runtime as there is not a way to do
proportional layout as you describe in xml. To prevent a visible

layout your child textview within that and you'll want to use
getHeight() to get the height of the LinearLayout at runtime. I'd
suggest looking through the code of ListView or RelativeLayout to see
how children are measured and layout.

The other option would be to do this after everything is inflated. You
can override onFinishInflate of the LinearLayout and then adjust the
height of the TextView from there. You'll need to invalidate the
TextView after adjusting it's height.

[android-developers] Re: TextView and ellipsize

[Neilz]

I found other people asking this on StackOverflow, it appears there is
a bug here with no fix.

There's a link to a potential solution: is it just me or is there
nothing there?

[android-developers] Re: TextView setCompoundDrawables inconsistent size

[Henrik Lindqvist]

I set the drawable using xml android:drawableBottom so
setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds should be used. I've it now
also tried setting it programmatically, same result. I'am going back
to using nested LinearLayout's for label and button, this is to much
of a hassle.

  First app launch every thing looks nice, close app, launch again and

  Does the drawables gets altered at first launch? Doesn't the TextView
  set the bounds on the drawables the second launch? Very inconsistent.

[android-developers] Re: TextView visibility problem

[Johnny]

I'm not at home right now so I can't test it, maybe tomorrow: swap the
root linear layout for a relative layout. Move up the TextView, set
its alignBottom to the root RelativeLayout and set its height to
wrap_content. Then configure your inner RelativeLayout's alignBottom
to the TextView. Its height should be set to fill_parent. I could post
the code and some links tomorrow.

[android-developers] Re: TextView visibility problem

[sisko]

You are right.
When I move the TextView up it is squashed but visible.

Can you advice on how I can make it visible beneath the relative
layout

 It might be because the TextView is positioned offscreen. Try putting
 it prior to the RelativeLayout, if you can see it then then it's
 likely the RelativeLayout is pushing it offscreen when the TextView
 is placed after the RelativeLayout.

[android-developers] Re: TextView visibility problem

[letlite]

The default orientation for LinearLayout is horizontal. It looks odd
that the last TextView view has android:layout_width=fill_parent.

 I had a similar problem which came down to an XML layout issue and I'm
 sure it's a similar issue here only I don't know how to resolve it.

 Can someone please help and tell me how I can get the TextView to
 display and perhaps more importantly, direct me to some good android
 xml layout material?

 Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: TextView visibility problem

[metal mikey]

It might be because the TextView is positioned offscreen. Try putting
it prior to the RelativeLayout, if you can see it then then it's
likely the RelativeLayout is pushing it offscreen when the TextView
is placed after the RelativeLayout.

 Instead of calling setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(), just use

Thanks - notice that my post indicated setBounds() was a solution.

To scale and retain the aspect ratio I did the following.  This gets
the job done :-) but is there a simpler method?

static public Drawable scaleDrawable(Drawable drawable, int width, int
height)
{
  int wi = drawable.getIntrinsicWidth();
  int hi = drawable.getIntrinsicHeight();
  int dimDiff = Math.abs(wi - width) - Math.abs(hi - height);
  float scale = (dimDiff  0) ? width/(float)wi : height/
(float)hi;
  Rect bounds = new Rect(0, 0, (int)(scale*wi), (int)(scale*hi));
  drawable.setBounds(bounds);
  return drawable;
}

[android-developers] Re: TextView resets its location after an animation

[ClarkBattle]

The answer is that it needs to have animation.setFillAfter( true ); in
order to persist the animation after its end.  Strange that this is
not true by default.

On Sep 17, 3:09 pm, ClarkBattle clarkbat...@gmail.com wrote:
 Ive tried several interpolators and many different values.  It always
 resets.  RELATIVE_TO_PARENT is not appropriate for this app.  I have a
 small textView that just needs to shrink to a small strip on the side

 Thanks though.

  Subject: [android-developers] TextView resets its location after an

  I am using a Translate animation on a text view.

                  TranslateAnimation animation = new
  TranslateAnimation(
                           TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.0f,
                           TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.8f,
                           TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0f,
                           TranslateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0f );

                  animation.setDuration( ANIMATION_DURATION );
                  animation.setInterpolator( new
  DecelerateInterpolator() );

                  myTextView.startAnimation( animation );

  This works in that it slides the text view to the right.  However,
  when the animation is complete it puts the text view right back where
  it started!  I was under the impression tat the view should remain
  where the animation left it.  Why does this happen?

  Thanks
