Setting the text of a TextView when the desired input is larger than ~4000 in String length()

I am trying to setText(string) on a TextView component and I am not seeing the text I set. The input String is larger than 4000 in length(). I find that if I reduce the text size, the text will display.

How can I setText(string) on a TextView with all of the input String visible witho开发者_如何学编程ut changing the text size of the TextView?

Do I have to split the input String and use multiple TextView objects?

How will I know if the input String will be too large and not be seen, as my TextView may be filled with dynamic text?

Let me guess - you have a Samsung phone? Samsung saw fit to modify the operating system to have an implicit maximum size on all TextViews. Why? No idea. But if you specify the length with android:maxLength, it'll work just fine.

See here: How can I debug a seemingly hardware-dependent issue with my Android app without access to the hardware?

I have the same problem with Sony Ericsson Xperia. I have solved it by using EditText with inputType="none" and editable="false" I hope it will help you.
