Android Question Adjust the size of the EditText text

mohsen programmer · Mar 16, 2024

Hello,
What is the standard way to make the size of the text inside the edit text match the height of the edit text so that it doesn't stick out?

B4X:

EditText1.TextSize=40

Now, in tablets, the text inside the edit text may be fit, but in the phones, it pops out from the top and bottom!
Thank you for writing a function that works on all Androids?

Yes, that was thought out a very long time ago: see Android Tutorial Handle the soft keyboard with the IME library

You got it wrong. My problem is that the width and height of the EditText is set by %
Therefore, in phones with a smaller screen, the size of the edit text will be smaller, while the TextSize is fixed. This causes the text not to be displayed completely inside the EditText.

I would not use % height on an edit field because of exactly the problem you describe. Your should fix the size the edit fields and put them all on a scrollable panel. Preferably a CustomListView.
