Text of TextView missing characters after rotation

Gerrit Homberg

I want to use a text view in my android layout which should be rotated 90 degrees to the left. The width of the text view is small (20dp). My code looks like this:

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtVw"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="20dp"
            android:minWidth="20dp"
            android:maxWidth="20dp"
            android:paddingEnd="6dp"
            android:rotation="270"
            android:text="Test"/>

Rotation is done, but only those characters that are visible without rotation are shown - but there is enough space to show all characters. Does anyone have an idea?

I think this is indeed a bug, but I found a solution without my own custom TextView - if anyone else needs this, I'll post it:

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtVwOne"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:height="20dp"
        android:gravity="end"
        android:maxWidth="40dp"
        android:minWidth="40dp"
        android:rotation="270"
        android:text="Test" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtVwTwo"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="fill"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_marginLeft="-20dp"
        android:minHeight="40dp" />

The trick is to set the min and max width to a value that will keep the text from being clipped horizontally. The layout height must be set to the desired height. The height property must be set to the target width of the text view. The following text view must be included android:layout_marginLeft="-20dp"to ensure it is moved 20 dp to the left (target position).
