I have a multi-line edit text with a 100dp lineSpacingExtra.
Now the text is shown at the top of a line. And the cursor's height is same as line height , it's much taller than the text's height.
How can I make the text shown in the center of the line? Or if I can adjust the padding top or padding bottom of the text in a line.
Note: What I mean is NOT using android:gravity="center_vertical" to make the text center vertical in the TextView. I want to show the text center vertically in the line.
The xml is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:fadingEdge="vertical"
android:gravity="top"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine|textShortMessage"
android:lineSpacingExtra="100dp"
android:longClickable="false"
android:minLines="10"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:text="Text ABCDE\n Line2"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
Any help is appreciated. THX!
Attach my result here:
There's no way to do this in an application.
Because the TextView draws the text at the top of a line in framework.
If u want the visual effect that the text shown center vertically in a line, the framework code must be modified.
The file location is:
frameworks/base/core/java/android/text/StaticLayout.java
The change:
- lines[off + DESCENT] = below + extra;
+ lines[off + DESCENT] = below + extra/2;//Show the text center vertically in the line.
Please correct me if something is wrong or there's a better way to do this.
