I want to have a multiline text view and adding text to it,
After adding five lines to the TextView I want to start to add to the beginning of the text view.
For example: (numbers as text), 1,2,3,4,5 -> 6,2,3,4,5 -> 6,7,3,4,5 and so on.
I thought about using StringBuilder but I don't see an efficient way to implement this.
The delimiter of each row is "\n\n" maybe it will help to solve the problem.
Or maybe should I just do 5 textView's and have some switch case between them?
Button xml:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/searchesInputTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:width="300dp"
android:height="200dp"
android:background="@drawable/border_style"
android:maxLines="5"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
/>
in MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextView searchesTextView;
private ImageButton refreshCurrentLocationButton;
private String myText = "";
refreshCurrentLocationButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.currentLocationRefreshImageButton);
searchesTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.searchesInputTextView);
refreshCurrentLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Actual code
myText += location.ToString() + "\n\n";
searchesTextView.setText(myText);
});
}
