Bug?

[Bernie]

Hello:

I put an EditText with Height=20, but text don't fit correct. What is the minimal height possible?

Thank you

It depends also on the TextSize property.

Best regards.

Hello:

No matter what TextSize is set. With HEIGHT=20 in a EditText, the control show incorrect.

What I meant with : It depends also on the TextSize property is :If you set an EditText.Height = 30 and EditText.TextSize = 10 it is shown OK.If you set an EditText.Height = 30 and EditText.TextSize = 20 it is shown NOT OK.I think you shouldn't set EditText.Height below 30dip.

Best regards.

Ok. Thank you very much, Klaus.

Hi Bernie,

Try using the reflector library to reduce or remove the editviews padding (the white space around printed characters)

Example using an edit view called txt1

txt1.Color = Colors.White 'Removes the view edges
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = txt1 'Set padding to minimum
r.RunMethod4("setPadding", Array As Object(0, 1dip, 0, 0), _ Array As String("java.lang.int", "java.lang.int", "java.lang.int", "java.lang.int"))

This way you can use a larger font in a small edit view.
