'Anyway to keep the height of a layout as wrap content, but not let it exceed a certain height
I have a ScrollView that contains a TextView which is fetched dynamically from a data base. If the text is small in length, I want my ScrollView layout_height to wrap content, however if the text length is big, I want the ScrollView layout_height to be fixed to a certain value (such as 200dp). Is there anyway to achieve this?
Solution 1:[1]
Perhaps you're looking for
android:minHeight="12dp"
android:maxHeight="200dp"
just some example values, you don't have to use both, but you can set maxHeight to a certain value so that the view never exceeds those values and perhaps minHeight so that it doesn't collapse entirely, unless you want that, in which case just remove minHeight
Solution 2:[2]
You can wrap your code into LinearLayout with wrap_content option and on inner structure you can set android:layout_weight="1"
