Vertical TextView with Ellipsize and all other default TextView features

Question

How to create a vertical TextView (rotated 90 ° or -90 °) with ellipsis support (this means that the text is truncated if there is not enough space in the view, and "..." as added to indicate truncation) that can be calculated with dp is the value, wrap_content and match_parent ?

All other TextView parameters must also be satisfied.

Also, he does not need additional code to perform turns or otherwise, and he must correctly display in the UI editor.

This solution works fine, however overriding onDraw() means that the ellipsis functions and other functions no longer work. The text will simply disappear if it is too large to display, or something else happens.

The ok rotation is shown below, but the ellipsis is calculated based on the viewing width, it should be based on the height if it rotates 90 °.

 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { canvas.save(); canvas.rotate(90, 0, getPaint().getTextSize() +5); super.onDraw(canvas); canvas.restore(); } 

android:rotation in TextView is not a good solution since positioning and size are not working properly.

As an option, the view should allow you to rotate the text at any angle.

Answer 1

you can use something like this, maybe this will help you.

 public class VerticalLabelView extends View { private TextPaint mTextPaint; private String mText; private int mAscent; private Rect text_bounds = new Rect(); final static int DEFAULT_TEXT_SIZE = 15; public VerticalLabelView(Context context) { super(context); initLabelView(); } public VerticalLabelView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); initLabelView(); TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.VerticalLabelView); CharSequence s = a.getString(R.styleable.VerticalLabelView_text); if (s != null) setText(s.toString()); setTextColor(a.getColor(R.styleable.VerticalLabelView_textColor, 0xFF000000)); int textSize = a.getDimensionPixelOffset(R.styleable.VerticalLabelView_textSize, 0); if (textSize > 0) setTextSize(textSize); a.recycle(); } private final void initLabelView() { mTextPaint = new TextPaint(); mTextPaint.setAntiAlias(true); mTextPaint.setTextSize(DEFAULT_TEXT_SIZE); mTextPaint.setColor(0xFF000000); mTextPaint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER); setPadding(3, 3, 3, 3); } public void setText(String text) { mText = text; requestLayout(); invalidate(); } public void setTextSize(int size) { mTextPaint.setTextSize(size); requestLayout(); invalidate(); } public void setTextColor(int color) { mTextPaint.setColor(color); invalidate(); } @Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) { mTextPaint.getTextBounds(mText, 0, mText.length(), text_bounds); setMeasuredDimension( measureWidth(widthMeasureSpec), measureHeight(heightMeasureSpec)); } private int measureWidth(int measureSpec) { int result = 0; int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec); int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpec); if (specMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) { // We were told how big to be result = specSize; } else { // Measure the text result = text_bounds.height() + getPaddingLeft() + getPaddingRight(); if (specMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) { // Respect AT_MOST value if that was what is called for by measureSpec result = Math.min(result, specSize); } } return result; } private int measureHeight(int measureSpec) { int result = 0; int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec); int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpec); mAscent = (int) mTextPaint.ascent(); if (specMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) { // We were told how big to be result = specSize; } else { // Measure the text result = text_bounds.width() + getPaddingTop() + getPaddingBottom(); if (specMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) { // Respect AT_MOST value if that was what is called for by measureSpec result = Math.min(result, specSize); } } return result; } @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { super.onDraw(canvas); float text_horizontally_centered_origin_x = getPaddingLeft() + text_bounds.width()/2f; float text_horizontally_centered_origin_y = getPaddingTop() - mAscent; canvas.translate(text_horizontally_centered_origin_y, text_horizontally_centered_origin_x); canvas.rotate(-90); canvas.drawText(mText, 0, 0, mTextPaint); } } 

And in attrs.xml :

 <resources> <declare-styleable name="VerticalLabelView"> <attr name="text" format="string" /> <attr name="textColor" format="color" /> <attr name="textSize" format="dimension" /> </declare-styleable> </resources>
