How do you get the text of a TextView
to be Justified (with text flush on the left- and right- hand sides)?
I found a possible solution here, but it do
I write my own class to solve this problem, Here it is Just you have to call the static justify function that takes two arguments
//MainActivity
package com.fawad.textjustification;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.graphics.Point;
import android.graphics.Typeface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
import android.view.Display;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static Point size;
static float density;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
size=new Point();
DisplayMetrics dm=new DisplayMetrics();
display.getMetrics(dm);
density=dm.density;
display.getSize(size);
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Typeface typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(this.getAssets(), "Roboto-Medium.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(typeface);
tv.setLineSpacing(0f, 1.2f);
tv.setTextSize(10*MainActivity.density);
//some random long text
String myText=getResources().getString(R.string.my_text);
tv.setText(myText);
TextJustification.justify(tv,size.x);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
//TextJustificationClass
package com.fawad.textjustification;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TextJustification {
public static void justify(TextView textView,float contentWidth) {
String text=textView.getText().toString();
Paint paint=textView.getPaint();
ArrayList lineList=lineBreak(text,paint,contentWidth);
textView.setText(TextUtils.join(" ", lineList).replaceFirst("\\s", ""));
}
private static ArrayList lineBreak(String text,Paint paint,float contentWidth){
String [] wordArray=text.split("\\s");
ArrayList lineList = new ArrayList();
String myText="";
for(String word:wordArray){
if(paint.measureText(myText+" "+word)<=contentWidth)
myText=myText+" "+word;
else{
int totalSpacesToInsert=(int)((contentWidth-paint.measureText(myText))/paint.measureText(" "));
lineList.add(justifyLine(myText,totalSpacesToInsert));
myText=word;
}
}
lineList.add(myText);
return lineList;
}
private static String justifyLine(String text,int totalSpacesToInsert){
String[] wordArray=text.split("\\s");
String toAppend=" ";
while((totalSpacesToInsert)>=(wordArray.length-1)){
toAppend=toAppend+" ";
totalSpacesToInsert=totalSpacesToInsert-(wordArray.length-1);
}
int i=0;
String justifiedText="";
for(String word:wordArray){
if(i
