Auto Scale TextView Text to Fit within Bounds

Question

I\'m looking for an optimal way to resize wrapping text in a TextView so that it will fit within its getHeight and getWidth bounds. I\'m not simply looking for

Answer 1

My method is:

public void changeTextSize(int initialSize, TextView tv) {

    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
    double width = displayMetrics.widthPixels / displayMetrics.xdpi;
    double height = displayMetrics.heightPixels / displayMetrics.ydpi;

    Log.i("LOG", "The width of the tested emulator is: " + width);
    Log.i("LOG", "The height of the tested emulator is: " + height);

    double scale = Math.min(width / 2.25, height / 4.0); //See the logcat >>> width = 2.25 and heigt = 4.0
    tv.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, (int) (initialSize * scale));

}

For example:

changeTextSize(16, findViewById(R.id.myTextView));
changeTextSize(12, findViewById(R.id.myEditText));
