Android Question JustifyTextView

[ermiakhan]

Hi, I am trying to show text of book on a justified format on app
there was a way to use canvas and it needs to process the text and takes time

now i want to use justifyTextView it's perfect for justify but i don't know how i can put text lines equal to height of text view because i dont think heigh measuring of canvas work because it returns height of a single line and there is no way to find out how much of text is on each line

someone says use this for scroll the textview
#if java
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.text.method.ScrollingMovementMethod;
public void zxc (TextView x) {x.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());}
#end if

Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeContext.RunMethod("zxc",Array As Object(Label1))

it works but size is incorrect and half of scrolling justifyTextView is empty
not good for an user friendly app

and StrUtil.MeasureMultilineTextHeight not works on justifyTextView because there is no width property
.

.
the crazy way using a bitmap font drawing on a bitmap and put on a surface it should work

Use BBCodeView: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...t-engine-bbcode-parser-rich-text-view.106207/

You can measure content height as you see in the function made by Erel: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...tically-text-in-bbcodeview.113470/post-708069

Another option (may be simplier) is to use: StringUtils.MeasureMultilineTextHeight
