I'm creating search in app and highlighting part of text in TextView (with spannable). But text fields has fixed width/height and search match could be behind TextView border (not displayed to user).
Here is an example how TextView looks:
<TextView android:layout_width="256dp" android:maxLines="1" android:ellipsize="end" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:text="123456789 hello example of text field long line" android:textColor="?attr/clContent" android:textSize="24sp"/> If user searching for: "of text", how could I display that part in TextView? Expecting something like:
|... of text field long...| The same problem with multiline TextView (e.g. if it has android:maxLines="3"), how to scroll to particular text part? Is it even possible?
I have an idea about how to do it manually. If single line TextView - remove first part of text (till needed word) and replace it with "...". For multiline the same, drop first part of text + replace with dots.
That idea looks okay, but maybe someone knows another way to achieve same result in less complex way?
