Hi Gautham,

Try to use FormattedTextView for displaying text with multiple lines. It also supports formatting options like bold, italic as well as more fancy stuff like bullet lists, etc. It's basically xhtml.

Hi Gautham ,

if you have the textview with wrapping turned on, then the content will indeed wrap

when the column area it is to be displayed is too small. But only when the column boundary is reached.

Does the column have a width.? if not the default implication is 100%.

Check you container UI element.

Use Matrix layout in preference to Grid layout.

See also the TEXT_EDIT UI element. It is far better suited to multiple line texts.

regards

Phil.
