How to Measure TextView Height Based on Device Width and Font Size?

public static int getHeight(Context context, String text, int textSize, int deviceWidth) {
    TextView textView = new TextView(context);
    textView.setText(text);
    textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, textSize);
    int widthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(deviceWidth, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
    int heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    textView.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    return textView.getMeasuredHeight();
}

If textSize is not given in pixels, change the first paramter of setTextSize().


I've got a easier method to know the real height of a line before be painted, I don't know if this help you guys, but my solution to get the height of a line it's independent of the height of the layout, just take the font metrics like this:

myTextView.getPaint().getFontMetrics().bottom - myTextView.getPaint().getFontMetrics().top)

with that we get the real height that the fonts will take from the textview to be painted. This not give you an int, but you can make a Math.round to get a near value.
