How to adjust height and width of TextView according to EditText properties?

Question

I am creating a image editor. To write a text over image, we would like to have text autoresize feature. For the same I would like to calculate height of editText based on

Characters
Width of editText
font-size

I think it will also vary with font-family and font-weight, if so how to consider all these while calculating height of editText.

You can just set up your editText with font needed, then call:

Rect bounds = new Rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
String textToMeasure = "SOME TEXT"; 
Paint textPaint = editText.getPaint();
textPaint.getTextBounds(textToMeasure, 0, textToMeasure.length(), bounds);

then you will get required width and height from bounds.

can I get textSize ..by setting bounds ? What textsize will fit a bound given font-family and text – Circle May 10 '18 at 12:19
I don't think so, yo can try different text sizes and check bounds – Anton Malyshev May 10 '18 at 13:36
