B4X:

Dim su As StringUtils
Label1.Height = su.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(Label1, Label1.Text)

From the StringUtils library.

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus,

I am adding lable to panel using add view like,
panel.AddView(column1Label, 0, 0, Panel. Width-15, ??????)

It is not possible to check the label hight before adding it to panel.

Try

B4X:

panel.AddView(column1Label, 0, 0, Panel. Width-15dip, -2)

-2 means WRAP_CONTENT.

Use dip (density independent pixel) values instead of fixed values, 15 dip and not 15.

Best regards.

I tried -2, label not showing its text, and If I retrieve label height after that it returns -2.
But the first method using the string utils works, but that works only after adding label to panel with setting height as some other value, then calculting actual height and changing it.

You should add the label and then set its height with this method.

Hi gkumar,
You say that -2 doesn't work, but you didn't say what you have done.
The attached test program shows that it does work.
That's what -2 (WRAP_CONTENT) is made for.

Best regards.
