I am trying to implement the minimumfontsize property in android. This is common to the ios sdk. Since it is not presently available in android I was wondering if anyone can help me with a similar implementation in android?
To be more specific, I am trying to implement this property for the TextViewUI in android.Hence I basically need to implement it for this widget.
These are the ios specs of this feature:
“When drawing text that might not fit within the bounding rectangle of the label, you can use this property to prevent the receiver from reducing the font size to the point where it is no longer legible.
The default value for this property is 0.0. If you enable font adjustment for the label, you should always increase this value. This property is effective only when the numberOfLines property is set to 1.”
Without knowing what you intend to do with the code, there isn’t much help to be had. The closest thing to what you describe in android is setting device independent pixels (
android:textSize="30dp"), which ensure that however big (or small) the text looks on your handset, it will look pretty much just like that on all other handsets, at least those of the same size/density. See R.attr and Supporting Multiple Screens
