Question

I have a textview in a LinearLayout, and I want the height of LinearLayout to be changed from the number of lines in textview, please sombody will help me and tell me how can I do it without any problems?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. There is no illustration or examples

but I believe you can make the LinearLayout's height to be wrap and the child's TextView to have lines="3" for example

by that your linearlayout will have a height of 3 lines as per the above example
