Android TextView and how to determine the number of visible characters?

Ideally, you design your GUI such that it does not matter. For example, you can use android:ellipsize to deal with strings that are too long for the available space There are classes in the 2D drawing APIs (e. G Paint ) that seem to be tied into this, but it does not look like much fun.

Thank you for your answer. Currently I am developing a small text based game to become acquainted with the Android API. For that reason I need to know exactly how much characters can be displayed in the visible area of a TextView widget.

I saw an example of Paint but wanted to know if there are better solutions.

You can use ellipsize property but there has been a bug that has been filed on the same code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?... On the bottom of this page you could find an alternate approach which can draw exactly the number of lines on a given space...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
