Autosizing TextViews in RecyclerView causes text size to decrease

Question

I am trying to use Autosizing TextViews in a RecyclerView, but when I scroll a few times the text gets so small that it\'s obviously not working properly.

Example of my

Answer 1

the above solutions didn't work for me so here's mine

public class MyTextView extends AppCompatTextView {
    ...
    @Override
    public final void setText(CharSequence text, BufferType type) {
        // work around stupid auto size text not *growing* the font size we re binding in a RecyclerView if previous bind caused a small font
        int minTextSize = 0, maxTextSize = 0, granularity = 0;
        boolean doHack = TextViewCompat.getAutoSizeTextType(this) != TextViewCompat.AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_NONE;
        if (doHack) {
            minTextSize = TextViewCompat.getAutoSizeMinTextSize(this);
            maxTextSize = TextViewCompat.getAutoSizeMaxTextSize(this);
            if (minTextSize <= 0 || maxTextSize <= minTextSize) { // better than validateAndSetAutoSizeTextTypeUniformConfiguration crashing
                if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                    throw new AssertionError("fix ya layout");
                doHack = false;
            } else {
                granularity = TextViewCompat.getAutoSizeStepGranularity(this);
                if (granularity < 0)
                    granularity = 1; // need this else setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration barfs. TextView.UNSET_AUTO_SIZE_UNIFORM_CONFIGURATION_VALUE = 1.
                // make the TextView have 0 size so setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration won't do calculations until after a layout pass using maxSize
                TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeWithDefaults(this, TextViewCompat.AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_NONE);
                setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, maxTextSize);
                measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
                setRight(getLeft());
                setBottom(getTop());
                requestLayout();
            }
        }
        super.setText(text, type);
        if (doHack)
            TextViewCompat.setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithConfiguration(this, minTextSize, maxTextSize, granularity, TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX);
    }
    ...
}
