TextView: Now with Auto-Sizing

Published on September 22, 2017

For the best user experience with text, material design recommends using a dynamic type instead of smaller type sizes or truncating larger-size text. With Android O and Support Lib 26, TextView gains a new property: autoSizeTextType, which allows the text to scale uniformly when working with dynamic content. You can fine tune the auto-size by setting the minimum and maximum values and the step granularity, or by using preset text sizes.
