In my app I am displaying a table with misc. columns. What annoys me, is that all text fields are much too wide and thus waste lots of precious screen real-estate. How does on calculate a suitable field length in Android?
Currently I am setting the fields to as many "Ems" as the string contains characters (ie. textField.setEms(<maxOfStringLengths in that column>) but this is to usually too wide by about a factor of 2.
How does one calculate a better, more accurate text-length so that the column widths can be set narrower?
