Android Question Calculate text size of label/edit text

[GaNdAlF89]

How can I do to calculate the correct text size of label and edit text (based on its dimensions) in a layout dinamic/relative?

You can use AutoTextSizeLabel: [custom view] AutoTextSizeLabe
This label will change its text size to make sure that it fits the width.

Another option is to set the text size with the designer and then call AutoScaleAll. Check it with the UI cloud.

I think that you may need to use a canvas to work out the text length and then adjust the size until it fits your label. Take a look at the scrolling labels code module, I think it will help.... http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/scrolling-labels.8831/#post-49199

As always, Erel has a better solution.

How can I do this?

Another question, I've set the label width and height with percentage, there is any formula to set the text size?
Something like this:

Label1.TextSize = Label1.Height * 0.3

There is no simple way to calculate the text size. See the source code in AutoTextSizeLabel class.
