Calling requestLayout on setText

[sandransoria]

First of all: Many thanks for this very useful implementation of a vertical text view. I'm using it for a personal project as a label for my charts.

But I got the following problem:
If I dynamically change the text of the view programmatically to a text which is longer than the one before, the new text will not be displayed correctly (it will basically be cut of or squeezed). Therefore I also overwrite setText in my project:

 public void setText(String text) {
        super.setText(text);       
        requestLayout();
        // redraw view with new layout
        invalidate();
    }

I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but in my case it worked.
Also I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post such stuff, but I hope this might be helpfull for others.

I think you're right. See above setDirection() also calls requestLayout() and invalidate()

@DolphinWing @sandransoria Since you have used this VerticalTextView may be you can help me,
I'm showing the VerticalTextView(down to up) as item in my RecyclerView but they are not showing up. To confirm my RecyclerView Adapter implementation I replaced the VerticalTextView with TextView it was working fine.
Any idea?
