I've been researching all over, I was unable to find a proper answer.
I also can't achieve this on my own, so please help me out
I have a InfoWindowDialog
view I'm creating, which has a TextView
, that has a certain maxHeight
.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txt_desc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LONG_TEXT_WHICH_HAS_A_FEW_LINES..."
android:maxHeight="50dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And I want to achieve something similar to the last few lines of this example:
I have tried a solution mentioned Fade bottom of a textview android
By placing android:requiresFadingEdge="vertical
" and android:fadingEdgeLength="32dp"
and had no results.
There are a few solutions to this. The easiest is to add an UI element. Add an overlay graphic at the bottom of your view that has some sort of transparency, e.g. 50%. This will achieve what you are asking.
Others options to consider:
1) Track the last line of text, break it up, and add 50% transparency to it.
2) Track the last line of text, break it up, and change the color to a different gray. This gives the impression of transparency
3) If using scrollview, they have fading edge features.
and in your code, you can do the following
OR in your XML use
android:fadingEdgeLength="150dp"
. Cheers!
