I need to justify some text (RTL), which is a string (S1) from the server. But a TextView can't justify text, so I have to use a WebView, now I have to create a HTML file in which
will display S1. And then I store the address of that html file in the database and then I display that html file. I've seen this question asked before on SO and many have recommended to use a 3rd party library, I've tried all of those approaches to no avail (they work in 90% of scenarios but are no fully reliable).
I feel that this approach seems convoluted, I was wondering if there is a better approach?
I use the following code that answer with very people that need this subject and i create formula that support in every display.
public class TextJustify {
final static String SYSTEM_NEWLINE = "\n";
final static float COMPLEXITY = 5.12f; // Reducing this will increase
// efficiency but will decrease
// effectiveness
final static Paint p = new Paint();
/* @author Mathew Kurian */
public static void run(final TextView tv, float origWidth, int paddingLeft, int paddingRight, int marginLeft, int marginRight) {
origWidth-= paddingRight+marginRight+paddingLeft+marginLeft;
String s = tv.getText().toString();
p.setTypeface(tv.getTypeface());
String[] splits = s.split(SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
float width = origWidth - 5;
for (int x = 0; x < splits.length; x++)
if (p.measureText(splits[x]) > width) {
splits[x] = wrap(splits[x], width, p);
String[] microSplits = splits[x].split(SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
for (int y = 0; y < microSplits.length - 1; y++)
microSplits[y] = justify(removeLast(microSplits[y], " "),
width, p);
StringBuilder smb_internal = new StringBuilder();
for (int z = 0; z < microSplits.length; z++)
smb_internal.append(microSplits[z]
+ ((z + 1 < microSplits.length) ? SYSTEM_NEWLINE
: ""));
splits[x] = smb_internal.toString();
}
final StringBuilder smb = new StringBuilder();
for (String cleaned : splits)
smb.append(cleaned + SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
tv.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
tv.setText(smb);
}
private static String wrap(String s, float width, Paint p) {
String[] str = s.split("\\s"); // regex
StringBuilder smb = new StringBuilder(); // save memory
smb.append(SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
for (int x = 0; x < str.length; x++) {
float length = p.measureText(str[x]);
String[] pieces = smb.toString().split(SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
try {
if (p.measureText(pieces[pieces.length - 1]) + length > width)
smb.append(SYSTEM_NEWLINE);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
smb.append(str[x] + " ");
}
return smb.toString().replaceFirst(SYSTEM_NEWLINE, "");
}
private static String removeLast(String s, String g) {
if (s.contains(g)) {
int index = s.lastIndexOf(g);

if (index == 0)
return s.substring(1);
else if (index == s.length() - 1)
return s.substring(0, index);

return s.substring(0, index) + s.substring(indexEnd);
}
return s;
}
private static String justifyOperation(String s, float width, Paint p) {
float holder = (float) (COMPLEXITY * Math.random());
while (s.contains(Float.toString(holder)))
holder = (float) (COMPLEXITY * Math.random());
String holder_string = Float.toString(holder);
float lessThan = width;
int timeOut = 100;
int current = 0;
while (p.measureText(s) < lessThan && current < timeOut) {
s = s.replaceFirst(" ([^" + holder_string + "])", " "
+ holder_string + "$1");
lessThan = p.measureText(holder_string) + lessThan
- p.measureText(" ");
current++;
}
String cleaned = s.replaceAll(holder_string, " ");
return cleaned;
}
private static String justify(String s, float width, Paint p) {
while (p.measureText(s) < width) {

}
return s;
}
}
and for calling this you mus use following code, I tested for Persian language and in every display and device worked fine.
public static final int FinallwidthDp = 320 ;
public static final int widthJustify = 223 ;
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
int widthPixels = metrics.widthPixels;
float scaleFactor = metrics.density;
float widthDp = widthPixels / scaleFactor;
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams lp1 = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) tv.getLayoutParams();
tv.setText(text);
TextJustify.run(tv,widthDp / FinallwidthDp * widthJustify , tv.getPaddingLeft(),tv.getPaddingRight() , lp1.leftMargin, lp1.rightMargin);
this algorithm tested on various device and worked fine in normal activity (not dialog) and wrap-content width for TextView, and worked with every padding and margin.if not good for you, you can change widthJustify until look good to you, I hope this useful.
for newly update see This
LIBRARY: https://github.com/bluejamesbond/TextJustify-Android
SUPPORTS: Android 2.0 to 5.X; String/Spannables; RTL language support! NO WEBVIEW :)
SCREENSHOT
Try this:
Add a TextViewJustify.java file in src folder.
TextViewJustify.java wil be like this
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TextViewJustify {
/*
* PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE Coded by Mathew Kurian I wrote this code for a
* Google Interview for Internship. Unfortunately, I got too nervous during
* the interview that I messed, but anyhow that doesn't matter. I have
* resent my work in hopes that I might still get a position there. Thank
* you :DD

And use this class like this:
TextViewJustify.justifyText(your_text_view, 225f);
In my case it was 225f. change it according to your need.
You can justify Text using WebView Simply
LinearLayout lv=(LinearLayout)dialog.findViewById(R.id.**yourId**);
String text1 = "<html><body>"
+ "<p align=\"justify\">"
+**your text**
+ "</p> "
+ "</body></html>";
WebView wv=new WebView(getApplicationContext());
wv.loadData(text1,"text/html","utf-8");
lv.removeAllViews();
lv.addView(wv);
i made simple class.
this can be used just like TextView
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.TextView;

Use web view
WebView tv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.aboutme);
String youtContentStr = String.valueOf(Html
.fromHtml("<![CDATA[<body style=\"text-align:justify;background-color:#00222222;\">"
+ text
+ "</body>]]>"));
tv.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
tv.loadData(youtContentStr, "text/html", "utf-8");`
