I have no lineSpacingMultiplyer

Hi there,

When attempting to add the spacing using the XML for the text view, my version of android studio does not have the lineSpacingMultiplyer option?

Can anyone who has or is is using the latest version of android studio please point me in the direction I need to take for line spacing?

I see a baseLine attribute, but this doesnt seem to give me the option I am after.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the comment Hao,

but I think you misunderstood my question. In android studio most of the methods and identifiers are or can be pre filled for you, so when I start off my line with the letter "l" or even "L", there are no options for the line spacing. I'm not attempting to hand write the option as this usually ends with an error if not using the pre fill method anyway. Make sense?

Cheers

I think you may just have a typo: Multiplier is spelled with an 'i' instead of a 'y' which you are using:

android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.2"
