Android adding text to textview dynamically in Fragment (wrap_content)

Question

I have a problem with adding text to TextView which is placed in horizontal LinearLayout in Fragment. After adding some text the view always shows only 1 line. TextView height is not wrapping to its content.

My xml file:

  <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingBottom="2dp"
        android:paddingTop="5dp"
        android:weightSum="100"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:paddingRight="10dp">
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="28"
            style="@style/Theme.Material"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/txt"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:textColor="@color/black_blue"
            android:paddingRight="1dp"
            android:paddingLeft="1dp" />
        <TextView
            android:text=""
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="24"
            style="@style/Theme.Material"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/txt1Value"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:textColor="@color/black_blue"
            android:paddingRight="1dp"
            android:paddingLeft="1dp" />
        <TextView
            android:text=""
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="24"
            style="@style/Theme.Material"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/txt2Value"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:textColor="@color/black_blue"
            android:paddingLeft="1dp"
            android:paddingRight="1dp" />
        <TextView
            android:text=""
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_weight="24"
            style="@style/Theme.Material"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/txt3Value"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:textColor="@color/black_blue"
            android:paddingLeft="1dp"
            android:paddingRight="1dp" />
    </LinearLayout>

I would appreciate any ideas how to solve it. Thanks in advance.

Just use

  TextView tv = findViewById(R.id.txt);
  String YOUR_TEXT = "Your text \n text \n text" 
  tv.setText(YOUR_TEXT + "\n" + "text text text")

than inside of the TextView there are will be as many lines as you put "\n".

Thats not about it. My text is adding properly. But the height of text view in fragment layout only shows the 1 line. – K.Bieda Nov 19 '16 at 22:14
Than probably there is something wrong with style="@style/Theme.Material" – aleksandrbel Nov 19 '16 at 22:31
I dont think so cause everywhere is working fine and when i put some text in xml to Textview it is showing on the fragment view (height is adjusting to multilines). I think the problem is with the thing that fragment view is refreshing height is adjusting before text is changing – K.Bieda Nov 19 '16 at 23:06
