How to wrap preference title?

Question

In this image, the title of my Preference does not wrap around its parent.

How can I bind the header to a new line?

Thanks.

XML:

 <CheckBoxPreference android:key="keypref" android:summary="Summary text does wrap around the borders" android:title="The title of this preference is" > </CheckBoxPreference> 

Answer 1

You will need to create a custom layout similar to the standard (android internal) CheckBoxPreference. In this xml text view, the header should be with an ellipse set to Marque, repeat the constraint indefinitely and scrollable set to horizontal. How can you set the CheckBoxPreference layout with:

 <CheckBoxPreference android:key="key_checkbox_pref" android:summary="Summary text does wrap around the borders" android:title="The title of this preference." android:layout="@layout/custom_checkbox_preferences_layout"> 

Hope this works;)

Answer 2

Just update it. This is a String , so you can use \n to create a new line.

 <CheckBoxPreference android:key="keypref" android:summary="Summary text does wrap around the borders" android:title="The title of this preference\nis this." > </CheckBoxPreference>
