Specify whether this widget should automatically scale the text to try to perfectly fit within the layout bounds. If all the configuration params are valid the type of auto-size is set to TextViewCompat#AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_UNIFORM.

Parameters
autoSizeMinTextSize TextView: the minimum text size available for auto-size
autoSizeMaxTextSize TextView: the maximum text size available for auto-size
autoSizeStepGranularity TextView: the auto-size step granularity. It is used in conjunction with the minimum and maximum text size in order to build the set of text sizes the system uses to choose from when auto-sizing
unit TextView: the desired dimension unit for all sizes above. See TypedValue for the possible dimension units
Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException if any of the configuration params are invalid.

setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithPresetSizes

static fun setAutoSizeTextTypeUniformWithPresetSizes(textView: TextView, presetSizes: IntArray, unit: Int): Unit

Specify whether this widget should automatically scale the text to try to perfectly fit within the layout bounds. If at least one value from the presetSizes is valid then the type of auto-size is set to TextViewCompat#AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_UNIFORM.

Parameters
presetSizes TextView: an int array of sizes in pixels
unit TextView: the desired dimension unit for the preset sizes above. See TypedValue for the possible dimension units
Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException if all of the presetSizes are invalid. _

getAutoSizeTextType

static fun getAutoSizeTextType(textView: TextView): Int

Returns the type of auto-size set for this widget.

Return
Int: an int corresponding to one of the auto-size types: TextViewCompat#AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_NONE or TextViewCompat#AUTO_SIZE_TEXT_TYPE_UNIFORM

getAutoSizeStepGranularity

static fun getAutoSizeStepGranularity(textView: TextView): Int
Return
Int: the current auto-size step granularity in pixels.

getAutoSizeMinTextSize

static fun getAutoSizeMinTextSize(textView: TextView): Int
Return
Int: the current auto-size minimum text size in pixels (the default is 12sp). Note that if auto-size has not been configured this function returns -1.

getAutoSizeMaxTextSize

static fun getAutoSizeMaxTextSize(textView: TextView): Int
Return
Int: the current auto-size maximum text size in pixels (the default is 112sp). Note that if auto-size has not been configured this function returns -1.

getAutoSizeTextAvailableSizes

static fun getAutoSizeTextAvailableSizes(textView: TextView): IntArray
Return
IntArray: the current auto-size int sizes array (in pixels).

setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback

static fun setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(textView: TextView, callback: Callback): Unit

Sets a selection action mode callback on a TextView. Also this method can be used to fix a bug in framework SDK 26/27. On these affected devices, the bug causes the menu containing the options for handling ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT after text selection to miss a number of items. This method can be used to fix this wrong behaviour for a text view, by passing any custom callback implementation. If no custom callback is desired, a no-op implementation should be provided. Note that, by default, the bug will only be fixed when the default floating toolbar menu implementation is used. If a custom implementation of Menu is provided, this should provide the method Menu#removeItemAt(int) which removes a menu item by its position, as given by Menu#getItem(int). Also, the following post condition should hold: a call to removeItemAt(i), should not modify the results of getItem(j) for any j < i. Intuitively, removing an element from the menu should behave as removing an element from a list. Note that this method does not exist in the Menu interface. However, it is required, and going to be called by reflection, in order to display the correct process text items in the menu.

Parameters
textView TextView: The TextView to set the action selection mode callback on.
callback TextView: The action selection mode callback to set on textView.

setFirstBaselineToTopHeight

static fun setFirstBaselineToTopHeight(textView: TextView, firstBaselineToTopHeight: Int): Unit

Updates the top padding of the TextView so that firstBaselineToTopHeight is equal to the distance between the first text baseline and the top of this TextView. Note that if FontMetrics.top or FontMetrics.ascent was already greater than firstBaselineToTopHeight, the top padding is not updated.

Parameters
firstBaselineToTopHeight TextView: distance between first baseline to top of the container in pixels

setLastBaselineToBottomHeight

static fun setLastBaselineToBottomHeight(textView: TextView, lastBaselineToBottomHeight: Int): Unit

Updates the bottom padding of the TextView so that lastBaselineToBottomHeight is equal to the distance between the last text baseline and the bottom of this TextView. Note that if FontMetrics.bottom or FontMetrics.descent was already greater than lastBaselineToBottomHeight, the bottom padding is not updated.

Parameters
lastBaselineToBottomHeight TextView: distance between last baseline to bottom of the container in pixels

getFirstBaselineToTopHeight

static fun getFirstBaselineToTopHeight(textView: TextView): Int

Returns the distance between the first text baseline and the top of this TextView.

getLastBaselineToBottomHeight

static fun getLastBaselineToBottomHeight(textView: TextView): Int

Returns the distance between the last text baseline and the bottom of this TextView.

setLineHeight

static fun setLineHeight(textView: TextView, lineHeight: Int): Unit

Sets an explicit line height for this TextView. This is equivalent to the vertical distance between subsequent baselines in the TextView.

Parameters
lineHeight TextView: the line height in pixels
