List view not showing complete Text

The original text is two lines more but it cut that partI am developing an SMS application in which i have to save a received SMS in my application. I use a custom list view to save the SMS content, SMS sender and SMS date. This works completely fine when the incoming SMS is short i.e. 4 5 lines. But the problem is that if the SMS is long i.e. more than 5 6 lines then the listview not showing full SMS. It shows first 4 5 lines but cut the next part of the SMS. I don't know what to do and completely stuck.

Here is my custom listview content

<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

<ImageView

    android:layout_width="40dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
    android:padding="3dp"

</LinearLayout>

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/empty"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

please look at id "message content" text view, the problem would be there i think

I am calling that main listview in the activity. xml code for main list view is

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/messageList"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
    android:cacheColorHint="@null"

    android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"
    android:layout_marginBottom="45dp" />

and Finally I am fetching inbox messages in this list view

public void populateMessageList() {
fetchInboxMessages();

messageListAdapter = new SmsList(this,R.layout.smscontent, recordsStored);
messageList.setAdapter(messageListAdapter);

}

smscontent is the name of custom listview content Please Help!!

Solution

  • Use this Attributes in your Text View for txt_messageContent.

    android:maxLines="10"
android:lines="10"
android:singleLine="false"

    EDIT 1:

    Change this.

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    EDIT 2:

    Add this.

    android:inputType="textMultiLine"

    EDIT 3:

    Changed the Layout apply this.
