4,027 PointsRendering Problem with "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning"
Hi,
I am stuck on "Adding a TextView" in Android development track.
I am following along with the video in my own Android Studio environment and trying to add the TextView box "Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning." This text box renders fine at first but when I go to resize it to "24sp" as the video states I get the following error:
Rendering Problems Exception raised during rendering: java.util.Locale.toLanguageTag()Ljava/lang/String;
The text is not resizing and that error comes up. I tested a couple different things and it seems like the text is not automatically line breaking when it gets to big. I typed in additional text at the normal size and as soon as the text made it to the edge of the screen, instead of auto line breaking, it renders this error as well...
Not really sure why? Maybe a weird setting I have? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

With a bit of research, it looks like this is in fact a bug with the SDK you are using.
There is actually a BugZilla page about the bug here that was updated yesterday!
You may be wondering where the toLanguageTag() bit comes from but, that is the method that is ran when rendering text and is what is causing the exception.
Right now, there's not too much you can do about this but find an alternative (i.e: Use font sizes that work). Hopefully a fix will be available for the bug soon though :)

707 PointsI was able to resolve this issue by simply clicking the check box "singleLine". It's located 2 spaces above the "text" field in the properties pane.
