Display HTML format First we will present below what are the supported tags for a textView and what are not supported. You can skip this section if you are already familiar with these or you want to jump directly into action :) Supported tags Unsupported tags <a href="..."> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br> <cite> <del> <dfn>…
So if you ever need the screen width and height on Android, you can use the following snippet:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
/** * Returns the size of the screen in pixels (width and height) * * @return a Point that has the screen width stored in x and height in y */ public Point getScreenSize(Activity context) { Display display = context.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); Point size = new Point(); if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 13) { display.getSize(size); } else { //noinspection deprecation size.set(display.getWidth(), display.getHeight()); } return size; } |
If you need to set a smaller hint for your edit text, you can set the hint this way:
|
1 2 3 4 |
myEditText.setHint(Html.fromHtml( "<small><small><small>" + getString(R.string.hint) + "</small></small></small>")); |
Also, you can set the size in the string resource file where is the string for the hint.
|
1 |
<string name="edit_text_hint"><font size="15">My hint string</font></string> |
and in the xml file just set the hint as usual:
|
1 |
android:hint="@string/edit_text_hint" |
