I have a layout with some controls. I want a particular TextView to wrap text.
I have already search for google on how to to wrap text, but none worked for me.
Description
Find the Address
control in the code bellow, which is the TextView
with the long text.
Notice the Address
control is placed in a LinearLayout
. I was hoping the Address
control wouldn't go outside the LinearLayout's layout.
When the TextView's text is long, the text goes behind the RightIcon
control and continues forever to the right.
Question
How to cause the text to wrap and use a line bellow inside the LinearLayout
an not go behind the RightIcon
control?

CodePudding user response:
In LinearLayout, you could add a connect to right icon:
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@ id/rightIcon"
and change width of linear layout to "0dp".
