Android Question B4XFloatTextField - Multiline Bug

[Alexander Stolte]

The 1st line overlaps the text hint.

 

[Mahares]

he 1st line overlaps the text hint.

I tried it on one of my projects and it works as intented. There is no overlap with the hint text. However, here a solution in your case that was given not long ago by Erel:that hides the hint as soon as you start typing

Sub B4XFloatTextField1_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
    B4XFloatTextField1.mBase.GetView(1).Visible = New.Trim.Length = 0
End Sub

But I mean the 2nd textbox where the multiple lines are. Where the line is underlined in red.
I do not intend to hide the hint text.

I do not have that problem, unless you are overapping both B4XFloatText. If you suspect it is a bug as you claim, then Erel always comes to the rescue.

I think it is due to the relationship between the height of the B4XFloatText and the TextSize.

I'm afraid B4XFloatText has several bugs.

 

[Alexander Stolte]

nope.

the TextSize

The text size is the default 14.

 

[LucaMs]

The text size is the default 14.

... and the view height? Try to increase it and you will see that there will be no more overlap.

Maybe, but it is still a bug that should be fixed, unless it is explicitly stated that the view may have a maximum height of x.

nope.

Your original image in post#1 was totally different from what you have now. Why did you change it and removed the 1st B4XFloatText. You initially were talking about the 2nd B4XFloatText drowning the 1st B4XFloatText.

Because the 1. B4XFloatText has nothing to do with the error and is irrelevant, it is separated from the 2. B4XFloatText.
Next time I will make sure that only the affected view is visible.

You can change the text field padding to leave more space for the hint:

Dim v As View = B4XFloatTextField1.TextField
v.Padding = Array As Int(2dip, 20dip, 2dip, 20dip)
