Android :: TextView :: Programitic Creation with setSingleLine(false) - Not wrapping

Question

I'm setting a textview as a child to a TableRow view programmatically and I cannot seem to get the text to wrap inside of the parent.

Here is the code which should be wrapping the text inside of the TableRow. Notice the setSingleLine is being set to false.

            TextView value = new TextView(this);
    ![alt text][1]value.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(
            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

    value.setSingleLine(false);
    value.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.END);
    value.setHorizontallyScrolling(false);

    value.setText(txt);
    value.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
    value.setTextSize(12);
    value.setTypeface(generalFont);

The documentation doesn't say by setting it to false will make it multiline, it says it will restore it to the defaults.

setSingleLine(boolean singleLine) If true, sets the properties of this field (lines, horizontally scrolling, transformation method) to be for a single-line input; if false, restores these to the default conditions.

Does anybody have a code snippet or URL which points to a multiline TextView being created programmatically?

Answer 1

What you tried the setHorizontallyScrolling (boolean whether) method?

value.setHorizontallyScrolling(false); 

From the documentation:

Sets whether the text should be allowed to be wider than the View is. If false, it will be wrapped to the width of the View.

Answer 2

The problem ended it being the grand parent (TableLayout). I had to shrink all columns and the text wrapped.

table.setShrinkAllColumns(true);

Answer 3

You have to set the maximum Ems using setMaxEms(int) this will make your TextViews content be only X Ems wide.
