BaselineGridTextView
An extension to AppCompatTextView which aligns text to a 4dp baseline grid.
Original code taken from Plaid. Thanks to @nickbutcher
Usage
Usage is controlled through XML or programatically. Within XML:
<com.commit451.baselinegridtextview.BaselineGridTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello world"
app:lineHeightHint="24dp">lineHeightHint is the desired line height, and should be a multiple of 4 to insure a 4dp rhythm. Alternately, you can use the attribute:
app:lineHeightMultiplierHint="1.2"which will take your set text size and multiply it by the value specified.
or programatically:
int size = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.textsize);
textView.setLineHeightHint(size);Testing
We highly recommend the app Keyline Pushing for testing.
