Set label to SingleLine=true

[moster67]

I believe I read somewhere that labels are multiline by default.

Is it possible to set a label as SingleLine just like you can do with EditText?

Couldn't find that property so it is probably not possible. As a workaround I guess it is sufficient to ensure that the Height of the label is not higher than one single-line (perhaps also taking into account text-size).

You can use this method:

Dim Mylabel as Label
...
Dim ref As Reflector
ref.Target = Mylabel
ref.RunMethod2("setSingleLine", True, "java.lang.boolean")

FYI, the equivalent JavaObject sub is:

Sub setLabelSingleLine(viewArg As View, singleLineArg As Boolean)
   Dim jo As JavaObject = viewArg
   jo.RunMethod("setSingleLine", Array As Object(singleLineArg))
End Sub

I would love to see more and more of these secondary functions become native B4A methods, so we can use fewer reflector/JavaObject workarounds.

You find this and other Label properties in Label Utils in the Android Code Snippets forum.
