android textview not wrapping correctly
android, android-layout, textview
Solution
<TextView
android:id="@+id/rowCreatedAt"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="10dp"
android:textColor="#ff696969"
android:ellipsize="none"
android:singleLine="false"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:maxLines="100"
android:text="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbb" />
Change `android:layout_width="fill_parent"` to `android:layout_width="200dp"`
Problem
I have the following xml to display rows in a listView. I want the TextView with the id rowCreatedAt, to wrap around nicely but it never does and only shows 1 line. I tried most of the solutions in the other questions and added them in the code, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone tell me why...? +I would like to avoid setting the exact size to the textview. ++ To put it differently, why does the rowCreatedAt textView doesn't wrap the text when width/height is set to fill_parent while other textViews wrap texts just fine? ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/rowUserImage" android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:src="@drawable/twitter_icon" android:layout_margin="5dp"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/rowCreatedAt" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:textSize="10dp" android:textColor="#ff696969" android:ellipsize="none" android:singleLine="false" android:scrollHorizontally="false" android:layout_weight="1" android:maxLines="100" android:text="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbb" /> </LinearLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > <TextView android:id="@+id/rowUserName" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:text="username" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/rowText" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:text="status text" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> ```
