Answer 1

The Following will provide the lines count of the textview at the same place you set tv.setText().

int maxTextViewWidth="ENTER MAX WIDTH HERE";

tv.setText("hello\nhow are you?");

int widthMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxTextViewWidth, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);

int heightMeasureSpec = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

tv.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);

int lineCount=tv.getLineCount();
