Getting ems size of a string in Android

Question

I'm trying to add ellipses to words that exceed 11 ems in an Android textview (instead of having words >11ems wordwrap mid-word) while the rest of the text continues on the next line.

I.E

|Reallylongwordgoeshe...|
|and the rest of the |
|text goes here. |

I've decide to just calculate the ems size of each tokenized string, but I'm unsure of how to do that. Any suggestions?

The following in the android dev references helped me: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/MultiAutoCompleteTextView.html especially if you look at the documentation for the following: void performFiltering (CharSequence text, int start, int end, int keyCode)
