Has an android a css-like property "word-wrap"?
I just want to my text is not wrapped by spaces, dashes, etc., something like this:
- hello, w
- orld
Instead of
- hello,
- world
Unfortunately, android hasn't this property. But you can replace all breaking characters with ReplacementTransformationMethod.
class WordBreakTransformationMethod extends ReplacementTransformationMethod
{
private static WordBreakTransformationMethod instance;
private WordBreakTransformationMethod() {}
public static WordBreakTransformationMethod getInstance()
{
if (instance == null)
{
instance = new WordBreakTransformationMethod();
}
return instance;
}
private static char[] dash = new char[] {'-', '\u2011'};
private static char[] space = new char[] {' ', '\u00A0'};
private static char[] original = new char[] {dash[0], space[0]};
private static char[] replacement = new char[] {dash[1], space[1]};
@Override
protected char[] getOriginal()
{
return original;
}
@Override
protected char[] getReplacement()
{
return replacement;
}
}
'\u2011' is non-breaking dash, '\u00A0' is non-breaking space. Unfortunately, UTF hasn't non-breaking analog for slash ('/'), but you can use division slash (' ∕ ').
For use this code, set instance of WordBreakTransformationMethod to your EditText.
myEditText.setTransformationMethod(WordBreakTransformationMethod.getInstance());
