To make them work you should write the code posted by @Robert in this way:

ViewTreeObserver vto = txtViewEx.getViewTreeObserver();
        vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                ViewTreeObserver obs = txtViewEx.getViewTreeObserver();
                obs.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
                height = txtViewEx.getHeight();
                scrollY = txtViewEx.getScrollY();
                Layout layout = txtViewEx.getLayout();

                firstVisibleLineNumber = layout.getLineForVertical(scrollY);
                lastVisibleLineNumber = layout.getLineForVertical(height+scrollY);

            }
        });
