Is it possible to relate string length to text view width?

Question

I have a Text view that has a max width of (200 dp). And I have a string that varies in length.

Example

Lets say that the string is this:

   String example= "this is a test string";

question:

I want to know if is it possible to check if the length of the string is equal to the text view's maximum width?

Thank you.

Why you are give static width (200 dp) in your project. – Kaushal Gosaliya Apr 21 '18 at 21:04 — Kaushal Gosaliya, Apr 21 '18 at 21:04

Replace this:

textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);

With this:

textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, example.length(), bounds);

That information is from this answer that may probably help you.

Add android:singleLine="true" in your text view to solve your problem.

<TextView
        android:text="this is a test stringthis is a test string
        this is a test stringthis is a test string"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:background="@color/colorAccent"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
