Java documentation for android.widget.TextView.getBreakStrategy().
Property setter documentation:
Sets the break strategy for breaking paragraphs into lines. The default value for TextView is Layout#BREAK_STRATEGY_HIGH_QUALITY, and the default value for EditText is Layout#BREAK_STRATEGY_SIMPLE, the latter to avoid the text "dancing" when being edited.
Enabling hyphenation with either using Layout#HYPHENATION_FREQUENCY_NORMAL or Layout#HYPHENATION_FREQUENCY_FULL while line breaking is set to one of Layout#BREAK_STRATEGY_BALANCED, Layout#BREAK_STRATEGY_HIGH_QUALITY improves the structure of text layout however has performance impact and requires more time to do the text layout.
Compared with #setLineBreakStyle(int), line break style with different strictness is evaluated in the ICU to identify the potential breakpoints. In #setBreakStrategy(int), line break strategy handles the post processing of ICU's line break result. It aims to evaluate ICU's breakpoints and break the lines based on the constraint.
