Strange enough - I created my TextView in Code and it wrapped - despite me not setting anything except standard stuff - but see for yourself:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams childParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
childParams.setMargins(5, 5, 5, 5);

Label label = new Label(this);
label.setText("This is a testing label This is a testing label This is a testing label This is a testing labelThis is a testing label This is a testing label");
label.setLayoutParams(childParams);

As you can see from the params definition I am using a LinearLayout. The class Label simply extends TextView - not doing anything there except setting the font size and the font color.

When running it in the emulator (API Level 9) it automatically wraps the text across 3 lines.
