Do automatically scaling font sizes work for android, using appcelerator?
Just trying to get clarification on this issue. Is the scaling of fonts working for android using this attribute? Its working for iOS, I know, but it doesn't seem to want to play nice for android.
I'm trying to make a label that has a string of varying size in it. Here is a sample of the code that I'm using:
var name = Titanium.UI.createLabel({ text:response.name, color:'#000', minimumFontSize:10, font:{fontSize:24,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'}, width:120, height:45, top:0, left:0, right:2, wordWrap:false, textAlign:'left' });
Use 'sp' as measurement unit for font and 'dp' for sizes (example: fontSize: '24sp'). You can read more about density-specific resources on Android here.
If you are asking about whether 'minimumFontSize' on a label works on Android to automatically scale the size of the text to fit the label on a single line, according to the latest documentation for Titanium 3.X here:
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Label-property-minimumFontSize
no, it only works on iPhone and iPad
This might be a bit off topic, but this is the code we use to make sure some text fits a label. You call the function in a postLayout event handler or at some other moment when the dimensions of the label and the screen are known.
function fitTextInLabel(label,options)
{
/*
* Make the given text fit in the label by, well, just trying. Run this when the layout is complete
* IE in the onPostlayout of the view or the label. When using the cache-feature don't forget to
* check for orientation in creating the cache key: otherwise the font size will not be recalculated for the other orientation
* This is an alloy function: it requires underscore.js But rewriting it for plain titanium is not a big deal.
* Spin in het Web - www.spininhetweb.nl - Contact us for questions. Yes we build apps.
*
* Label: the Ti.UI.Label to fit the text in
* Options: an options object:
* text: the text to fit. When not given we will use the current text of the label. Use a lorum ipsum that's big enough.
* fitWidth: which width to fit the text in. Either the fixed width of the label ("current") or that of the parent ("parent"). When
* width is Ti.UI.SIZE use "parent". Default: current.
* fitHeight: which height to fit the text in. "current" or "parent". Default: current
* marginVertical: space to keep vertically. Will use marginVertical / 2 for top and bottom. Default: 0
* marginHorizontal: space to keep horizontally. Will use marginHorizontal / 2 for left and right. Default: 0
* cacheKey: string. When given, use caching. We will save the found fontsize as a persistant property. When called again with the same key
* we will not calculute, but just set the fontsize. The cache is only cleared when the user removes the app or its data
* We add the device orientation to the cacheKey, so we automatically differentiate between setting for portrait and landscape
* applyTo: array of labels. When given, we will set the same fontsize on the given labels.
* callback: function. When given, we will call this after setting the fontsize on the label. The prototype for the callback function is:
* fn(Ti.UI.Label lbl, int newFontSize)
*
* RETURNS boolean. False on some error, true when everything started out okay.
*
* This function runs on the event engine so it is basically async. After calling it, the font will not be changed until the callback runs
