Android TextView Justify Text

Question

How do you get the text of a TextView to be Justified  with text flush on the left- and right- hand sides     I found a possible solution here  but it does not work  even if you change vertical-center to center vertical  etc

TextView in Android O offers full justification  new typographic alignment  itself   You just need to do this   Kotlin  if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES O        textView justificationMode   JUSTIFICATION MODE INTER WORD     Java  if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES O        textView setJustificationMode JUSTIFICATION MODE INTER WORD       default is JUSTIFICATION MODE NONE

The  CommonsWare answer is correct  Android 8 0  does support  Full Justification   or simply  Justification   as it is sometimes ambiguously referred to    Android also supports  Flush Left Right Text Alignment   See the wikipedia article on Justification for the distinction  Many people consider the concept of  justification  to encompass full-justification as well as left right text alignment  which is what they end up searching for when they want to do left right text alignment  This answer explains how to achieve the left right text alignment   It is possible to achieve Flush Left Right Text Alignment  as opposed to Full Justification  as the question is asking about   To demonstrate I will be using a basic 2-column form  labels in the left column and text fields in the right column  as an example  In this example the text in the labels in the left column will be right-aligned so they appear flush up against their text fields in the right column    In the XML layout you can get the TextView elements themselves  the left column  to align to the right by adding the following attribute inside all of the TextViews    lt TextView           android layout gravity  center vertical end  gt          lt  TextView gt    However  if the text wraps to multiple lines  the text would still be flush left aligned inside the TextView  Adding the following attribute makes the actual text flush right aligned  ragged left  inside the TextView    lt TextView           android gravity  end  gt          lt  TextView gt    So the gravity attribute specifies how to align the text inside the TextView layout gravity specifies how to align layout the TextView element itself

You have to set  android layout height  wrap content    and  android layout centerInParent  true

Simply try this           lt TextView                                                                                                                                                         android layout gravity  quot center vertical end quot          android justificationMode  quot inter word quot                                                                                                            gt   Hope this help

Try using  lt  RelativeLayout  gt   making sure to fill parent   then just add android layout alignParentLeft  true  and   android layout alignParentRight  true  to the elements you would like on the outside LEFT  amp  RIGHT    BLAM  justified

While still not complete justified text  you can now balance line lengths using android breakStrategy  balanced  from API 23 onwards  http   developer android com reference android widget TextView html attr android breakStrategy

Try this solution in the below link just create that class in project folder and use it  it works fine for me     Justify text in an Android app using a WebView but presenting a TextView-like interface

I write a widget base on native textview to do it   github

I do not believe Android supports full justification   UPDATE 2018-01-01  Android 8 0  supports justification modes with TextView

User · Answer

I think there are two options    Use something like Pango that specializes in this via the NDK and render text to an OpenGL or other surface  Use Paint measureText   and friends to get the lengths of words and lay them out manually on a Canvas in a custom view

I found a way to solve this problem  but this may not be very grace  but the effect is not bad   Its principle is to replace the spaces of each line to the fixed-width ImageSpan  the color is transparent    public static void justify final TextView textView         final AtomicBoolean isJustify   new AtomicBoolean false        final String textString   textView getText   toString         final TextPaint textPaint   textView getPaint         final SpannableStringBuilder builder   new SpannableStringBuilder         textView post new Runnable              Override         public void run                  if   isJustify get                       final int lineCount   textView getLineCount                    final int textViewWidth   textView getWidth                     for  int i   0  i  lt  lineCount  i                           int lineStart   textView getLayout   getLineStart i                       int lineEnd   textView getLayout   getLineEnd i                        String lineString   textString substring lineStart  lineEnd                        if  i    lineCount - 1                            builder append new SpannableString lineString                            break                                             String trimSpaceText   lineString trim                        String removeSpaceText   lineString replaceAll                                float removeSpaceWidth   textPaint measureText removeSpaceText                       float spaceCount   trimSpaceText length   - removeSpaceText length                         float eachSpaceWidth    textViewWidth - removeSpaceWidth    spaceCount                       SpannableString spannableString   new SpannableString lineString                       for  int j   0  j  lt  trimSpaceText length    j                              char c   trimSpaceText charAt j                           if  c                                       Drawable drawable   new ColorDrawable 0x00ffffff                               drawable setBounds 0  0   int  eachSpaceWidth  0                               ImageSpan span   new ImageSpan drawable                               spannableString setSpan span  j  j   1  Spanned SPAN EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE                                                                        builder append spannableString                                      textView setText builder                   isJustify set true                                       I put the code on GitHub  https   github com twiceyuan TextJustification  Overview

On android  to left justify text and not have truncation of the background color  try this  it worked for me  producing consistent results on android  ff  ie  amp  chrome but you have to measure out the space that s left in between for the text when calculating the padding    lt td style  font-family Calibri Arial      font-size 15px      font-weight 800      background-color  f5d5fd      color black      border-style solid      border-width 1px      border-color  bd07eb      padding-left 10px      padding-right 1000px      padding-top 3px      padding-bottom 3px   gt    The hack is the padding-right 1000px  that pushes the text to the extreme left   Any attempt to to a left or justify code in css or html results in a background that s only half width

Android does not yet support full justification  We can use Webview and justify HTML instead of using textview  It works so fine  If you guys not clear  feel free to ask me
