Android Question Non-English characters and MeasureMultilineTextHeight in API28

[KZero]

Hi,

StringUtils MeasureMultilineTextHeight working perfect on English and any other language on API-26

but after changing target API to 28, English is measured correctly while Arabic is not



test project attached

i think it's related to LineSpacing

reducing line spacing to 0.85 in Arabic Text make it fit but for English it must more

        Dim Ref as Reflector
        Ref.Target = Label1
        Ref.RunMethod3("setLineSpacing", 1, "java.lang.float", 0.85, "java.lang.float")

any ideas ?

Looks fine here. The measurement is done by an OS API.

i found the cause in api 28
setFallbackLineSpacing is Enabled by default (on many devices, thats why the non-latin text looks correct on some device and some devices not)

this code fixed the measurement problem

    Dim P As Phone
    If P.SdkVersion >= 28 Then
    Dim Ref As Reflector
        Ref.Target = label1
        Ref.RunMethod2("setFallbackLineSpacing","False","java.lang.boolean")
    End If

the only problem with this code that it makes the Arabic lines bit close to each others but it's pretty acceptable for me
i'm not sure if MeasureMultilineTextHeight can be called with custom line spacing parameter using reflection or inline java code, it will be an extra option to make the measured string looks bit better.

It's fine, but when using CSBuilder the problem remains

    Dim P As Phone
    If P.SdkVersion >= 28 Then
        Dim Ref As Reflector
        Ref.Target = lblTheory
        Ref.RunMethod2("setFallbackLineSpacing","False","java.lang.boolean")
    End If
    lblTheory.Text = CS.PopAll
    lblTheory.Height = su.MeasureMultilineTextHeight(lblTheory, lblTheory.Text)
