Auto Scale Text Size

Question

I\'m looking for a way to when I change a screen size it will proportionally resize the text. Currently I tried Auto Scale TextView Text to Fit within Bounds but it doesn\'

Answer 1

I use this, proportionally at the width of the screen.

DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
        width_screen=displaymetrics.widthPixels;
Mytext.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, (width_screen/CONST));

the CONST is a number I use for to scale the font, in the dimension I want. It works for my needs.

You don't need to call AutoResizeTextView test, you can say TextView since the class extends TextView. I don't see why you'd need to call resizeText() either.

Either way, here's a custom class I like to use to auto re-size text.

public class AutoFitTextView extends TextView {

public AutoFitTextView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init();
}

public AutoFitTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init();
}

private void init() {

    maxTextSize = this.getTextSize();
    if (maxTextSize < 35) {
        maxTextSize = 30;
    }
    minTextSize = 20;
}

private void refitText(String text, int textWidth) {
    if (textWidth > 0) {
        int availableWidth = textWidth - this.getPaddingLeft()
                - this.getPaddingRight();
        float trySize = maxTextSize;

        this.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, trySize);
        while ((trySize > minTextSize)
                && (this.getPaint().measureText(text) > availableWidth)) {
            trySize -= 1;
            if (trySize <= minTextSize) {
                trySize = minTextSize;
                break;
            }
            this.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, trySize);
        }
        this.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, trySize);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onTextChanged(final CharSequence text, final int start,
        final int before, final int after) {
    refitText(text.toString(), this.getWidth());
}

@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
    if (w != oldw) {
        refitText(this.getText().toString(), w);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    int parentWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
    refitText(this.getText().toString(), parentWidth);
}

public float getMinTextSize() {
    return minTextSize;
}

public void setMinTextSize(int minTextSize) {
    this.minTextSize = minTextSize;
}

public float getMaxTextSize() {
    return maxTextSize;
}

public void setMaxTextSize(int minTextSize) {
    this.maxTextSize = minTextSize;
}

private float minTextSize;
private float maxTextSize;

}

Good news! Google introduced Autosizing TextView support in Android O. It will be also included in support librararies.
