EditText lineSpacingExtra issue

Question

I have editText with layout:

<EditText android:id="@+id/edittext" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="test" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:gravity="left|center_vertical" android:lineSpacingExtra="10dp" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1" /> 

but the text is not centered vertically due to lineSpacingExtra . Here's what it looks like:

How can I keep the lineSpacingExtra tag, but have the text vertically?

Answer 1

I found a way to simulate this, but not the actual solution. You can add the top, but this is not a safe solution.

 <EditText android:id="@+id/edittext" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:paddingTop="18dp" android:gravity="left|center_vertical" android:lineSpacingExtra="10dp" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1" android:text="test" /> 

Answer 2

For me, this seems like a familiar problem that I first encountered when designing forms on the Internet and using the wrong CSS attributes, trying to give text fields more space.

So why not forget about this lineSpacingExtra attribute and just use padding top and padding bottom?

 <EditText android:id="@+id/edittext" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:paddingTop="10dp" android:paddingBottom="10dp" android:gravity="left|center_vertical" android:text="test" /> 

Answer 3

I just did this TextView, it works great.

  <TextView android:id="@+id/txtWelcome" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1" android:gravity="center" android:text="@string/activation" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.5" android:textAppearance="@style/CleverFingerThemeLarge" android:textColor="@color/DFTextColor" /> 

If I put android: lineSpacingExtra = "20dp"

I get more space between the lines.

In my example, @ string / activation = is text with multiple lines.

If you installed the following:

 android:includeFontPadding="false" android:lineSpacingExtra="1" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="0dp" 

your add-on should disappear!

 android:lineSpacingExtra="Your Value" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="Your Value"
