[Android] 텍스트뷰 폰트 사이즈 조절.

Unit of measurement of TextView.setTextSize()

The Soundcorset metronome and tuner, in which I wrote it with Scaloid, is keep growing and hits 70,000 downloads. Until recently, it has a strange problem that it displays very large text for some devices, so that some button texts are clipped away out of the layout. After some code investigation, I found that it is very tricky pitfall because the code does not seems to have any problem at first:

STextView("Hello").textSize(20 sp)  // not correct!

The unit specification like 20 sp is very common in Scaloid. The implicit function sp converts the number from the sp unit to the pixel unit. The code above looks fine because the most of the Android API receives a size as the pixel unit. But there was a single exception. The methodTextView.setTextSize(float) does not receives a size as the pixel unit, it receives sp unit instead. It may cause a mistake because the most of other APIs handles a size as the pixel unit, even inTextView.getTextSize()!!! So I overridden STextView.textSize so that the APIs have consistency in pixel units:

@inline def textSize  (p: Int) =  textSize_=(p)
@inline def textSize_=(p: Int) = { 
  basis.setTextSize(android.util.TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, p)
  basis 
}

Now we can safely use the method textSize with the implicit unit conversions:

STextView("Hello").textSize(20 sp)  // correct :-D

I patched the current snapshot, and it will be available at the next release of Scaloid.
