Post your code might be your textview expand and fill the screen use Scrollview to handle this issue.

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:alpha="0.75"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance"
        android:textColor="@color/alert_dialog_heading_text_color"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_size_for_subheading" />
</ScrollView>

I did some small testing in G3, I found that: If there is a TextView in the activtiy layout, it can show more than 4096 characters, but when it owned by the item of listview, it just display invisible. So there's no hard limit, just what can be displayed depending on the device.
