Checking if string is complety shown in popup window

Question

Is there a standard way to do this? My popup window has maxsize and I would like to cut the string if it is too long. Currently I'm doing

   if(txt.length()>320)
        {
            txt = txt.substring(0,320)+"...";
        }

but this seems crude and doesn't work sometimes because of paragraphs.

There is no standard way. You don't get feedback about how much data is actually displayable inside the screen. — f1sh, Oct 13 '16 at 12:10
to give a quick overview. No feedback huh . ok . Is there a good way to calculate how much string would fit ín the popup ? because the max size changes with the screensize. — kluki, Oct 13 '16 at 12:19
