Question

So I have a TextView in android that has the width of the whole length of the screen and a padding of dip 5. How can I calculate the number of characters that will fit a si

You can get total line of Textview and get string for each characters by below code.Then you can set style to each line whichever you want.

I set first line bold.

private void setLayoutListner( final TextView textView ) {
        textView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                textView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);

                final Layout layout = textView.getLayout();

                // Loop over all the lines and do whatever you need with
                // the width of the line
                for (int i = 0; i < layout.getLineCount(); i++) {
                    int end = layout.getLineEnd(0);
                    SpannableString content = new SpannableString( textView.getText().toString() );
                    content.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD), 0, end, 0);
                    content.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.NORMAL), end, content.length(), 0);
                    textView.setText( content );
                }
            }
        });
    }

Try this way.You can apply multiple style this way.
