Description

I have a textfield with 28dp height, and the fontSize of the textfield is 14dp. (14sp gives same result) Attached is a screenshot of the result. It doesn't align properly and you can't see the top part of the string

I have the same problem. Always Android 5.X.

Good to notice indeed. My 5.0.2 and 5.1 I mentioned are Ti.SDK

Hello [~topener], Try a textfield without setting a height. The textField height will automatically set according to the font size. Thanks.

   var textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({
     borderStyle: Ti.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_ROUNDED,
     color: '#336699',
     borderColor : '#000',
     backgroundColor : 'transparent',
     top: 100, left: 10,
     width: 250,
     font: { fontSize: '14dp' },
   });

Thanks, but that only works sometimes. This does require the textfield to be taller/higher than actually intended.

After speaking to Rene, closing as invalid.
