what to use instead of textview to display a large amount of text from the database. when used, the textview of the application slows down. webview normally shows but the structure of the text disappears webview shows without spaces and indents

  • I searched the Internet - I did not find, oddly enough, a ready-made one. Decided to be confused, and done. How to do - lay out - Vladyslav Matviienko
  • You can cut the text into logical parts and list them out via RecyclerView - YuriiSPb ♦

Just completed the library, uploaded on Github , jitpack.io :

Add repository to build.gradle :

 repositories { maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } }

Add dependency to build.gradle :

 dependencies { compile 'com.github.metalurgus:LongTextView:1.0' }

In XML use like this:

 <com.metalurgus.longtextview.LongTextView xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" app:gravity="left|top" app:maxLinesPerItem="2" app:text="@string/long_text" app:textColor="#ff0000" app:textSize="5dp" />

    Try this:

      WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wv); String text = "Hello\nworld!"; wv.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, "<html><body style=\"white-space: pre\">"+ text+ "</body></html>", "text/html", "utf-8",null);
