How to set a maximum height with wrap content in android?

you can add this to any view (override onMeasure in a class inherited from a view)

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    if (maxHeight > 0){
        int hSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
        int hMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec);

        switch (hMode){
            case MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
                heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Math.min(hSize, maxHeight), MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
                break;
            case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
                heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxHeight, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
                break;
            case MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
                heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Math.min(hSize, maxHeight), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
                break;
        }
    }

    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
