Justifying text in Android without using a WebView

Question

Is it possible to justify the content in Android without using a WebView?

What I have come across after searching is that Android does not support full text-justification and it can be done only through WebView. Is there any other way of doing so?

You have to use `WebView` instead of `TextView`

textWebview.loadData("<p style=\"text-align: justify\">"+ "  [YOUR TEXT] " +"</p>", "text/html", "UTF-8");

It defiantly works.
Thank you.

Fully justification is not supported You can either use multiple textview or use library
