Question

I would like to programmatically set maxLength property of TextView as I don’t want to hard code it in the layout. I can’t see any set method related to maxLength.

Can anyone guide me how to achieve this?

Should be something like that. but never used it for textview, only edittext :

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
int maxLength = 10;
InputFilter[] fArray = new InputFilter[1];
fArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength);
tv.setFilters(fArray);
