I have some code that measure the width of an android textView and the text to display in it.
final ViewTreeObserver[] viewTreeObserver = {myAccountView.getViewTreeObserver()};
viewTreeObserver[0].addOnPreDrawListener(
new OnPreDrawListener() {
@Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
myAccountView.setText(R.string.og_my_account_desc_long_length);
int chipWidth = myAccountView.getMeasuredWidth();
if (chipWidth > 0) {
setChipTextWithCorrectLength(chipWidth);
viewTreeObserver[0] = myAccountView.getViewTreeObserver();
if (viewTreeObserver[0].isAlive()) {
viewTreeObserver[0].removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
}
}
return true;
}
});
}
private void setChipTextWithCorrectLength(int chipWidth) {
String desc =
setChipTextWithCorrectLength(
getContext().getString(R.string.og_my_account_desc_long_length),
getContext().getString(R.string.og_my_account_desc_meduim_length),
getContext().getString(R.string.og_my_account_desc_short_length),
chipWidth);
myAccountView.setText(desc);
}
@VisibleForTesting
String setChipTextWithCorrectLength(
String longDesc, String mediumDesc, String shortDesc, int clipWidth) {
if (textWidthPixels(longDesc) > clipWidth) {
if (textWidthPixels(mediumDesc) > clipWidth) {
return shortDesc;
} else {
return mediumDesc;
}
}
return longDesc;
}
public float textWidthPixels(String text) {
TextPaint textPaint = myAccountView.getPaint();
return textPaint.measureText(text);
}
I changed my device a11y to the biggest font and biggest display.
I see in the UI the text is truncated (ellipsized)
but my measurements show the text width (503 pixels) is smaller than the text-view width (587 px).
how can it be?
how should i measure them differently so my code will also indicate the text width is bigger than the text-view width?
from android view width is not bigger when a11y is changed to big font
