Making an app looking like messaging with prefix texts of Frequently Asked Questions. The TextViews of on user's side (right/ purple) are not getting wrapped correctly, leaving a considerably big purple area on the right of the message.
Seems it calculates the width with different way of breaking lines as it finally does. Perhaps a problem with Greek fonts? In the 1st purple message, it's clear that small words should have stayed on the previous line.
The activity_main.xml looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:background="@color/purple_500" tools:context=".MainActivity"><LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" tools:ignore="MissingConstraints"><include layout="@layout/toolbar" /><ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"><LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:padding="30dp"><include layout="@layout/page1"/><include layout="@layout/page2"/></LinearLayout></ScrollView></LinearLayout></androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Which includes the page_1.xml
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/page1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"><TextView android:id="@+id/h1" android:text="@string/p1h1" style="@style/head"/><ProgressBar android:id="@+id/pb1" android:progress="1" style="@style/ProgressBar"/><TextView android:id="@+id/s1" android:text="@string/p1s1" style="@style/AppText"/><TextView android:id="@+id/s2" android:text="@string/p1s2" style="@style/UserText"/><TextView android:id="@+id/s3" android:text="@string/p1s3" style="@style/AppText"/><TextView android:id="@+id/s4" android:text="@string/p1s4" style="@style/UserText"/></merge>
Text p1s2 & p1s4 are the ones i'm trying to fix, and their style is
<style name="UserText"><item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item><item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item><item name="android:padding">15dp</item><item name="android:background">@drawable/rounded_user</item><item name="android:layout_marginTop">10dp</item><item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item><item name="android:layout_marginLeft">50dp</item><item name="android:textSize">20sp</item></style>
I have tried to put TextViews inside ConstraintLayout, RelativeLayout and LinearLayout without success. Also, attributes that didn't help are:
android:singleLine="false"android:width="0dip"android:layout_weight="1"android:singleLine="false"android:ellipsize="end"android:breakStrategy="simple"
