Android Textview Italic and wrap_contents

I am using 3 italic textviews with different colors

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@+id/submittedBy" android:paddingTop="10dip">


            <ImageView android:id="@+id/subByImg"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="left" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:src="@drawable/submitted_by_arrow"/>
            <TextView android:id="@+id/submitLabel"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="left" android:text="Submitted by"  android:textStyle="italic"
                android:textSize="12sp" android:textColor="@color/gray" android:paddingLeft="5dip"/>
            <TextView android:id="@+id/submitName" android:textStyle="italic"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="12sp" android:textColor="@color/maroon_dark" android:paddingLeft="10dip"/>
                <TextView android:id="@+id/submitByDate" android:textStyle="italic"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="left"
                android:textSize="12sp" android:textColor="@color/gray" android:paddingLef开发者_JS百科t="10dip"/>
            </LinearLayout>

I wonder every last character is not displaying properly specially name displayed in the middle is "Dan Buckland" and it it is missing last character looks like "Dan Bucklano"

Also tell me pls how can have textview italic and bold both..

I had the exact same problem. I got around it by simply adding a space to the end of any string that needs to be in italics.

It may not be the most long-term-correct solution but it worked for me.

Seems like the bounding box is not correctly calculated when using italic.

Have you tried to use paddingLeft=6 and paddingRight=6 for the elements? (less chance of overlap).

For multiple styles in a TextView see Is it possible to have multiple styles inside a TextView?

You can use   with the text in string.xml file.
