Why does my EditText scale horizontally or vertically when I set Width and Height to wrap_content in android?… here is a solution to the problem.
Why does my EditText scale horizontally or vertically when I set Width and Height to wrap_content in android?
I’m new to Android. So I’m working on the following issues.
1. After setting android:layout_width=”wrap_content" in EditText, expand vertically.
2. After setting android:layout_width="180dp" in EditText, expand horizontally
Is there any way to pin my EditText? For example: If I were to type a long email address in EditText, the font size of the text should shrink according to the long text instead of EditText. Is it possible to accomplish this task?
Here is my code
<RelativeLayout 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"
tools:context="com.vadmin.myrx.SendReport">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Doctor Email"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginTop="75dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:layout_marginStart="25dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<EditText

android:layout_marginTop="57dp"
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_below="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textView3"

Use this layout instead of yours:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="2" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:text="Doctor Email"

I have used your XML and modified it. Just add your image. I deleted it because I don’t have them.
EDIT: I’ve also added android:inputType+ for editTexts and restricted phone numbers (12) and email (20), you can change them according to yourself.
