Question

Is it somehow possible to check if a String‘s length, assigned on TextView is of more length than actual device’s screen is? In other words, how to check if text doesn’t fit on the screen?

What I need is to free some room if text doesn’t fit.

Answer 1

Apparntly you can call measure on it.

textView.setText("bla");
textView.measure(0, 0);       //must call measure!
textView.getMeasuredHeight(); //get width
textView.getMeasuredWidth();  //get height

Taken from question/ answer here

Then you can use that measurement to compare against screen size.
