I have a simple horizontal LinearLayout with four TextViews with the same style inside. When the text in a TextView needs two lines, the TextView gets smaller:

I can’t understand why. Anybody can help?

Thanks

    If you change your third TextView to contain android:layout_height="fill_parent" this will fix your problem. I suppose the problem comes from something connected with “wrap_content” but I am not sure, if this is default value for layout_height. Also it does not make sense, why in the other cases, it will not wrap around the content and also be smaller.

       <TextView style="@style/compte_ba_cell"
        android:background="@color/grey_header"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:textStyle="bold" android:text="@string/echeance" />
