how can i ajust only a labels for show 100% in a label not on custom view?

Use the android constant WRAP_CONTENT value which is -2.

FILL_PARENT value is -1.

You wont see the results in the designer if you use it, but when you run the app it will make the label just big enough to show the content. You can use it for width and height.

an example form a simple label with a long text?

i m want only width 100% *-* width is my problem =(

 

[stevel05]

In the designer set the width to -2

If you are adding by code then it's:

    Dim L As Label
    L.Initialize("")
    L.Color = Colors.Gray
    L.Text = "Test of background label sizing"
    L.TextColor = Colors.White
    Activity.AddView(L,10Dip,100Dip,-2,30Dip)

stevel05 it possible make this on design menu?

i make all my app using
SetLeftAndRight
SetTopAndBottom

for dont need add this what can i make in my code?
Activity.AddView(L,10Dip,100Dip,-2,30Dip)

nomecustom.SetLeftAndRight(45%x, 90%x)
nomecustom.SetTopAndBottom(22%y, 26%y)

In the designer scripts you would set the left position, then set the width to -2:

Label1.Left = 45%x
Label1.Width = -2
