Android TextView Text not getting wrapped

Question

Can anyone tell me what\'s going wrong with the text? Text longer than one line doesn\'t wrap to the next line but goes beyond the screen.

Following is the code:

I finally managed to add some pixels to the height of the TextView to solve this issue.

First you need to actually get the height of the TextView. It's not straightforward because it's 0 before it's already painted.

Add this code to onCreate:

mReceiveInfoTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.receive_info_txt);
if (mReceiveInfoTextView != null) { 
    final ViewTreeObserver observer = mReceiveInfoTextView.getViewTreeObserver();
    observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            int height = mReceiveInfoTextView.getHeight();
            int addHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.view_add_height);
            mReceiveInfoTextView.setHeight(height + addHeight);

            // Remove the listener if possible
            ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = mReceiveInfoTextView.getViewTreeObserver();
            if (viewTreeObserver.isAlive()) {
                viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
            }
        }
    });
}

You need to add this line to dimens.xml
