@ArminKH Thanks for the lib and the SOURCE CODE!!!! I always love the source code! So much to learn and if there are bugs or a need to add to it you can.

Again, BIG thanks!

I was having some terrible flicker when using this library and realized that you should turn Visible to false on the parent of the fields you are using this on so that all the DoEvents do not cause the screen to flicker (pulse from all the font changing)

Another thing I found was to get the max font size for a field I needed to change the padding using:

    Dim Java_Object As JavaObject = Field   ' field to be changed
     
     Java_Object.RunMethod("setPadding", Array As Object(0dip, 5dip, 5dip, 0dip))

setting the padding to zero for left and right allowed a larger font.

there is a real problem if we don't use do events
as i discussed by @klaus the os need a bit more time to set effects when text size changed so we need to use do events
i want to say this is how android designed not just is relevant to this class
and for padding...the padding is where our text is finished so add 0 for each parameters allow you to use maximum spaces in a text view so the text size can be maximum
