EditeText Android change Text

Question

when I am trying to change text on EditText by calling setText, the function called getLineCount on editText is always 0 after that, why it doesn't change?

If you call getLineCount immediately then it will be always zero because TextView needs some time to draw itself completely.

Try to call this after setText :

editText.post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Log.d("Count", editText.getLineCount().toString());
    }
});
