Get line of TextView before rendering.

This is my code base the link above. It's working for me.

private int widthMeasureSpec;
private int heightMeasureSpec;
private int heightOfEachLine;
private int paddingFirstLine;
private void calculateHeightOfEachLine() {
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();
    display.getSize(size);
    int deviceWidth = size.x;
    widthMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(deviceWidth, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
    heightMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
    //1 line = 76; 2 lines = 76 + 66; 3 lines = 76 + 66 + 66
    //=> height of first line = 76 pixel; height of second line = third line =... n line = 66 pixel
    int heightOfFirstLine = getHeightOfTextView("A");
    int heightOfSecondLine = getHeightOfTextView("A\nA") - heightOfFirstLine;
    paddingFirstLine = heightOfFirstLine - heightOfSecondLine;
    heightOfEachLine = heightOfSecondLine;
}

private int getHeightOfTextView(String text) {
    // Getting height of text view before rendering to layout
    TextView textView = new TextView(context);
    textView.setPadding(10, 0, 10, 0);
    //textView.setTypeface(typeface);
    textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.tv_size_14sp));
    textView.setText(text, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
    textView.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    return textView.getMeasuredHeight();
}

private int getLineCountOfTextViewBeforeRendering(String text) {
    return (getHeightOfTextView(text) - paddingFirstLine) / heightOfEachLine;
}

Note: This code also must be set for real textview on screen

textView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.tv_size_14sp));
