# LineHeightSpan.Standard

*** ** * ** ***

` public static class LineHeightSpan.Standard `   
` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/LineHeightSpan, https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/ParcelableSpan `

|---|---|
| [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) ||
| ↳ | android.text.style.LineHeightSpan.Standard |

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

Default implementation of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/LineHeightSpan`, which changes the line height of the attached paragraph.

For example, a paragraph with its line height equal to 100px can be set like this:

```
SpannableString string = new SpannableString("This is a multiline paragraph. This is a multiline paragraph.");
string.setSpan(new LineHeightSpan.Standard(100), 0, string.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
```
![](https://developer.android.com/static/reference/android/images/text/style/lineheightspan.png) Text with line height set to 100 pixels.

Notice that LineHeightSpan will change the line height of the entire paragraph, even though it covers only part of the paragraph.

## Summary

### Inherited constants

From interface `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable` `int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

Descriptor bit used with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
