How to get max lines of Text

How to get the maximum number of lines that can be written in TextView? I tried this:

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics ();
getWindowManager (). getDefaultDisplay (). getMetrics (metrics);
float width = metrics.widthPixels;
float height = metrics.heightPixels;

int lines = (int) (height / textView.getLineHeight ());

System.out.println (lines);

However, this variant gives the wrong information.

textView.getHeight() / textView.getLineHeight()

textView.getHeight() and textView.getLineHeight() both will consider the height on the screen with the screen dpi.

Here is the post to get the correct height of view. View's getWidth() and getHeight() returns 0

textview.getLineCount()

It's all in the documentation

EDIT: I was a bit too fast. I assume you want the number of lines that CAN be inside a textview instead of how many there currently ARE in the textview... In that case -> have a look at this question: Calculate text size according to width of text area
