How to find out if TextView text content has been cut off

Question

I can set max line in my TextView in layout xml file. In my code, after I call setText() to the TextView, how can I find out if the text content has been cut off (i.e. the text is longer than the max line)?

Thank you.

I know this is an old question, but I came across it in my search for a similar answer and wanted to offer the solution that I found, in case anyone else is wondering.

This worked for me:

TextView myTextView = rootView.getViewById(R.id.my_text_view);
if (myTextView.getLineCount() > myTextView.getMaxLines()) {
  // your code here
}
