Hi  
I have this app with some cloned buttons that is getting the same data in the button text. But how do I get the same look on the android as on the IOS to the right? It is like it is writing all the text centered in the button.  
Also the date button with logo in top left side is in a fixet column but I can get it in the same distance from the top as on the IOS.  
Can someone please help me.  
Thanks.

Could this be an issue with pixel density or ratio aspect?

The solution may be as follows:

1. Find the longest word for the table
2. Create a TEMP Label text field and insert the longest word with a font size of 0px
3. in the loop, increase the font size of the longest word until the width of the TEMP Label field is greater than the width of the cell.

The problem is that I cant "only"write one word because it is a lot of info that I need to show when the button is clicked again. Then all this info will be missed.  
Can it be a text alignment issue in the button. But in that case where is the settings for that. Because I just want to have the first word in the button.

To get the first word, use blocks for working with text or a list
