It would be cool if list items would support either intentional line breaks or auto-wrapping of lines in order to be able to nicely display long lines.

This would require a complete rewrite of the component as pretty much everything in it is based on the one/two-line-per-item assumption.

It would rather suggest that you use TextView to achieve something similar.

Hey @rivo, thank you for getting back! In fact I already used TextView in a different project where no highlighting of the currently active line is required. 👍🏼 However, right now I'm facing the need to have an actual list that can highlight individual items and have a selection callback. From what I saw, this wouldn't be easily possible with a TextView either.

I changed the title of this issue. I would be willing to help with parts of the implementation and definitely with the testing (because I would need that widget right now), however I'm not exactly sure what would be the best way to implement this.

Have you tried using regions? If you run the presentation demo included in the repo, you'll find that the bottom line is also implemented using TextView and highlighting is done with regions.
