Is there a size limit of textView?

I know I'm getting crazy.

I tried to print all 4032 factors of 15! (in full decimal representation) into a textView, and the app got frozen for about 10 seconds.

I tried to print all 14688 factors of 18! (in full decimal representation) into a textView, and the app got frozen for over a minute.

I tried to print all ??? factors of 20! (in full decimal representation) into a textView, and the app got frozen forever.

So is there a size limit of textView? Did I hit the limit so the app got frozen?

EDIT: I timed the factorization and factor-building processes. They are both lightning fast - under 1 second. So I assume the problem is textView?

Your app froze not because you've reached the limit of the TextView, but because you were calculating all the factors of 20 on the Main, UI thread - the same used to render the TextView.

You should do all heavy calcuations on a background thread and pass the result to the UI thread once done, to update the TextView.
