在Android中访问Multiline TextView的文本

Question

I want to access text of particular line in a multi-line TextView. Any suggestions on how I could do this?

Answer 1

Fetch the Layout ( android.text.Layout ) of the TextView by calling mTextView.getLayout(); There you can for instance use the getLineStart or getLineEnd methods to get the offset of the text. That combined with getText and used using normal String operations should probably be enough for u!

Answer 2

By default, text view is multi line. Set the text with new line characters for ex. "First line \\nSecond line".
