Constructors

TextParagraphFormat

  public TextParagraphFormat()

Constructs an empty TextParagraphFormat. It's easier to get the default paragraph format from the TextView's default attributes, clone it, and modify the clone, than it is to create a TextParagraphFormat yourself.

Methods

Clones the TextParagraphFormat.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

  public void setLeftMargin(int leftMargin)

Sets the distance in pixels from the left border to the beginning of the text.

  public int leftMargin()

Returns the distance in pixels from the left border to the beginning of the text.

See Also:

  public void setLeftIndent(int indent)

Sets the distance in pixels from the left border to the paragraph's first character.

  public int leftIndent()

Returns the distance in pixels from the left border to the paragraph's first character.

  public void setRightMargin(int rightMargin)

Sets the distance between the end of the text and the right border.

  public int rightMargin()

Returns the distance between the end of the text and the right border.

  public void setLineSpacing(int spacing)

Sets the minimum distance between lines of text.

  public int lineSpacing()
