Android Question Label Width

Marcos Alves · Jul 8, 2018

Is it possible to determine the best width for a label considering that it must to fit in only one line and adjusted to the text inside?

"You can set the width to -2.This is a special constant that sets the width to match the text."

Thanks, I'll test

I don't recommend using -2.

If you want to automatically adjust the text size: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/custom-view-autotextsizelabel.30642/#content

The other option is to use Canvas.MeasureStringWidth to find the width.

Thanks @Erel ... I'll try using Canvas... looks better than changing the labels by a customview..
