Android TextView's subscript being clipped off

Question

The Android TextView clips off my text subscripts (see image below) even when I use android:layout_height=\"wrap_content\" for the TextView. Is there a fix/work

Answer 1

I had the same issue, so after reading the posts, I found this to be working.

Example : H₂O
simply use :

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("H2O"),BufferType.SPANNABLE);

BufferType.SPANNABLE is important as it will tell textview to consider the superscript span.

If you are using custom tag handler for HTML you can also use it like this:

 textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(data, null, new CustomHtmlTagHandler(),BufferType.SPANNABLE);

Hope it helps someone looking for same problem.
