How to get multi line text on a button in Android?

Question

I'm looking for a simple way in Android to add a text to a button that is displayed in 2 (or more) lines. E.g. A bold and big heading in the first line and a small description in the second line.

Is it possible or have I use a TextView or something similar?

Answer 1

Have you tried modifying your text property to something like "line1\nline2" ?

Answer 2

Have you set android:singleLine="false"?

Answer 3

You could use the Html.fromHtml function, and use tags like <br> and <small>. More info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1529068/android-is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-styles-inside-a-textview If you want bigger fonts, just set the android:textSize value in your xml layout.
