Set Font size, Resize object doesn't work in Android! [Example MFA included]

When setting a Font Size of a String Object, it asks you if you would like to (1) Resize the object or (0) keep current size.

This works great on PC, it formats the String's borders to fit the new font size just fine! However, when run on Android, it does format the values of the borders, but the actual constraints of the String stay the same :(

I've attached an example MFA. The red bars show the borders of the String, and you can see how it should work if you run on it PC. Try running it on an Android device though and you will see the issue (click/tap the screen).

Screenshots of the issue in action:
PC (works fine)
Android (fail)

Also, it would be nice to be able to change the horizontal and vertical alignment of Strings during runtime :)

you need to include the font you are going to use, android sucks at fonts.

The example works fine on android. You have to use:

Change font Size.

I'm not sure you understand. Does your Android version look like my PC screenshot from above? Can you take a screenshot of it working on your Android device?

Yes, to change the font size, you have to use : Change font size / under the paragraph

:D

No you don't understand. I know how to change the font size. That's not the issue. The borders of the string object do not update correctly when changing the font size on Android devices. It does not work the same as it does on PC. Please post a screenshot of how this example looks on your Android device so I can better explain what I'm talking about.

What API are you exporting with? Try API 18?

I am exporting to a Samsung Galaxy note. Let me do a test on another phone.

I believe I am using 18, though I will double check later tonight. I have gotten the same results on my Nexus 7, Note II, and Galaxy Epic 4G.

Yup, using API 18 doesn't change anything, still doesn't work as intended.

Edit: This video shows the issue on my Note II, and what is supposed to happen on PC (and yes this issue occurs on ALL my Android devices):

works fine. I need some adjustments for Android.

Prob1 Screensize
Prob2 Border Size.

it all works okay.
Link to solve

:D

Are you kidding me? You made a workaround by making the border larger and screen smaller.

No, this does not solve the problem. This masks it.

There is still an issue here, you're just making it LOOK like there is not one.

*frustrated*

Yes the problem seems to be the text area size doesn't increase with the text. But it's workable. Seems to work okay with my Galaxy note.

Did you test the APK on your phone?

i see that the width of the text area is not increasing when the text increase so it only can grow vertical using wrapping text, if you set the width of the text double of the frame width you will see other behavior, also when the width is not enough and a second line is need it, see that the top X correspond to the center of the text area (thats why it overlap the previous line). i will debug next week to see if something can be done without affecting the behavior.

That would be excellent, thank you FVivolo :)
