I would like to understand how this attribute works (android:ems
).
I saw something citing that he acts on the source of the text, but I did not understand how. I tried to do some tests, and did not notice result.
Does anyone know how he acts about a TextView
?
So that’s why, because mine
layout_width
is defined as0
, andlayout_weight=1000
, thus being a size proportional to the space reserved to it in relation to the other components Parent. So like you said it makes no sense to use the attributeems
, in my case. Right? Since it does not interfere with the font as I imagine, but rather with the width of the component to support a certain amount of characters. Still useful for other cases.– Fernando Leal
@Fernando exactly, changes the width of the component if the
layout_width
is defined aswrap_content
– Math
This property then would be very interesting to use in a
EditText
, that for example I want to have visible space for15
characters.– Fernando Leal
