Question

Now textview shows the statement if i will scroll far away to the bottom. Looks like promis textview become to large. Is there a way to fix it?

everything under stars is part of promis textview. It is a single string with several newline characters

code that generate promises

prm = doc.getElementsByTagName("promise");
            for (int j = 0; j < prm.getLength(); j++) {
                prom += parser.getValue(e, KEY_PROMISES, j) + "\n";

            }
            prom.substring(0,prom.lastIndexOf('\n'));

activity for my app

public class SingleMenuItemActivity  extends Activity {


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.candidate);
        Log.d("here ?", "No ");
        int loader = R.drawable.loader;
        // getting intent data
        Intent in = getIntent();
        Log.d("here ?", "No ");
        // Get XML values from previous intent
        String name = in.getStringExtra("name");
        Log.d("Name ", name);
        Log.d("here ?", "No ");
        DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
        Log.d("here ?", "No ");
        Candidate p = db.getCandidate(name);
        Log.d("Did i take candidate? ", "yea ");
        db.close();
        Log.d("Statement", p.get_statment());
        // Displaying all values on the screen
        TextView lblName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name);
        TextView lblOffice = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.office);
        TextView lblPromise = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.promises);
        TextView lblStatement = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.statement);
        ImageView lblFace = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.face);
        RatingBar lblRating = (RatingBar) findViewById(R.id.ratingBar1);
        ImageLoader imgLoader = new ImageLoader(this);
        lblName.setText(p.get_name());
        lblOffice.setText(p.get_office());
        lblPromise.setText(p.get_promises());
        lblStatement.setText(p.get_statment());
        lblRating.setRating(p.get_ranking());
        imgLoader.DisplayImage(p.get_photograph(), loader, lblFace);

    }
}

logcat says p.get_statment() has proper value in it

Answer 1

Ok i found solution, besides i dont understand why textview expanded so much i know how to fix it now:)
first of all we need to know number of lines, which string will produce

private static int countLines(String str){
           String[] lines = str.split("\r\n|\r|\n");
           return  lines.length;
        }

then simply limit textview in the size

lblPromise.setMaxLines(countLines(p.get_promises()));
