TextView in android

Hi..

   The topic I am going to explain here is TextView. Text view is a small view that is used to show a simple text in an Android Application. TextView can be modified according to the need of the application. For example: If someone want to change the color, size and font etc. of the text.


Here are some properties of TextView.

Properties	Code
Set Width of TextView ·         Wrap_content : width equals to the text in the textview. ·         Match_parent:  Width equals to the width of parent layout of textview.	android:layout_width="match_parent"                 or android:layout_width="wrap_content"
Set height of TextView	android:layout_height="match_parent"                 or android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Set Text Color  ·         #ffffff : color code for white color ·         @color/white: if defined in color.xml ·         @android:color:  use OS defined color.	android:textColor="#ffffff"             or android:textColor="@color/white"             or android:textColor="@android:color/WHITE"
Set TextSize:	android:textSize="15sp"
Set Text style	android:textStyle="bold"  or italic etc.

    

Apply External Font in Text:

      

Typeface type = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Helvetica.ttf");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
tv.setTypeface(type);

                                                                   
Define TextView in XML

Use TextView in Java class file.


                                TextView text=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

                 text.setText("This is the sample text...");
     
    Above is the way to use Textview in android.
 
      # Create the object of TextView Class:
             
                 TextView text;
 
      # Get id of Textview defined in the xml file.

            text=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

     # Set the text that you want to show in TextView:

            text.setText("This is the sample text...");

This way you can use the TextView in your.
     

This is all about TextView

Thanks!!!!!!!
