How can I make text adjust to the size of the screen in android?

Question

So far I have set up a page into grids which allows the page to adapt to screens of different sizes. I have been told to use different values files but I'd prefer not to. Is there a way I can allow the text to naturally adapt to the screen size?

Answer 1

Use sp as the unit for your textSize property in the xml file or.

Here you can find a simple example:

or setTextSize at runtime:

Answer 2

You have to use sp or dp. These units are relative to the screensize.

Answer 3

On TextView set android:layout_width="fill_parent" instead of wrap_content. Then use sp in android:TextSize
