When using constraint layout, make sure to set start AND end constraints, so the view does not end up out of visible screen space. This allows the content to scale to different lengths and sizes. To resolve this, prefer wrap_content and minHeight/Width over hardcoding layout limits. This usually indicates an issue with the layout constraints. Often half a line or the end of the text is missing. In this scenario the text is cut-off in some way. In this case there is no easy fix in the code, and the design should be reimagined to support longer text better.

However, it is not a full solution, as while the text is now visible it is very small. With autosizing, the issue appears to be fixed, as all the text is visible. In the screenshot, the top TextViews do not use autosizing, meaning the text does not fit as it grows longer and the font size is increased.
The limits need to be set carefully and testing with different font and density combinations will help to spot issues when using autosizing. This solution ensures that the text fits inside the view nicely and layouts do not break, but this doesn't always provide a benefit if the user is not able to easily read the text at that size. Lastly, autosizing TextViews can also cause the issue of the text not scaling in an expected way. Not every user with vision issues is using Talkback: a better approach is using TextView over the image, as then the text size can still be increased. Providing content description is important for these scenarios, however just providing content description is not enough for an accessible solution.
In other cases, the text does not scale because it is part of the image, instead of TextView. In this screenshot, you can see how the text defined in dp remains the same size regardless of the user's font preference. This means sp should be used for text elements so the size of the text will increase or decrease with the device setting. However, sp changes with the user's font preference and dp does not. sp, scalable pixels, have the same default value as dp. dp, density-independent pixels, are used for displaying consistently sized user interface across any screen size. Most of the time this is caused by using dp for text sizing instead of sp. While the layout is displayed correctly and text is visible, the user is not able to gain any benefit from the device setting and, as such, will struggle with reading the text. This is the number one issue on the list. In some apps, after changing the font size, the text does not scale up at all. The following problems are the most common and often easily fixed. However, even slightly larger than the default font size often means that a lot of issues appear. Reducing font size rarely causes any issues. I have been using various apps on my phone with non-default text and density settings. That is a big group of people, which makes it really important to consider how this setting will be supported when developing and testing your apps.

With such a large percentage, it is reasonable to assume that Android users likely also change these settings in similar frequency. Technology agency from the Netherlands, Q42, carried out extensive research on 1.5 million iOS users and found that as many as 33% of people change the text size on their phone, and increasing text size is more common than making the text size smaller (20% increasing vs 13% decreasing). Do you ever open the app and cannot read the full text because it's cut off in some way? This scenario became frequent to me once I increased the font size on my phone.
