As Konstantin said, this code will probably be ignored after you exceed 4 lines unless you remove android:maxLines="4"

This is how you would set the height in code:

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
int height_in_pixels = tv.getLineCount() * tv.getLineHeight(); //approx height text
tv.setHeight(height_in_pixels);

If you want to use dip units, which allows your app to scale across multiple screen sizes, you would multiply the pixel count by the value returned by getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;

This depends on your desired behavior, but you might also consider having the TextView size fixed, and allowing the user to scroll the text:

TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
tv.setMovementMethod(ScrollingMovementMethod.getInstance());
