Set upper case for TextView

I have TextView. I would like to show text in upper case mode. Is there attributed for upper case? Just I have text in strings.xml and I need use the line in several place as lower case and upper case.

In the layout XML, you can set the android:textAllCaps attribute on your TextView:

<TextView android:textAllCaps="true"></TextView>

Use String class method while setting the text to TextView as

tv.setText(strings.toUpperCase());

Have a look at this post for detail discussion.

EDIT: This was answered way back before API 14. As other answer mentioned here, textView.isAllCaps = true and its java methods were introduced from TextView. Please use those.

use this for programatically like textView.setAllCaps(false) for as it is and textView.setAllCaps(true)for Uppercase android:textAllCaps="true" for XML Layout

Kotlin:

textView.isAllCaps = true

For an XML approach, you don't want to use android:capitalize because this is intended for use during text input. Instead, use [textAllCaps][1]. If your strings are declared as lower case, then it is quite simple to toggle between upper and lower case on a per-TextView basis.

[1]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:textAllCaps "textAllCaps"

use it

<TextView android:textAllCaps="true"></TextView>

I believe there is no such attribute, but you can use

textView.setText(text.toUpperCase());

also found this, never tested by myself though

android:capitalize="characters"

Try this.

Upper Case

textView.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name).toUpperCase());

Lower Case

textView.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name).toLowerCase());

Set android:textAllCaps="true" in layout file.

Edit : If you are using kotlin use .capliatlized() method https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/capitalize.html

You could create a custom view derived from TextView and override the setText method to capitalize.

You can do that easily in android xml file. you should add this line to TextView.

 <TextView 
      android:textAllCaps="true"/>

if you want to do that in code, you can do like this :

        textView.setText(strings.toUpperCase());

Get a reference for your TextView and call this method on the object

    textView.setAllCaps(true);
