Try:

mTextLayout = new DynamicLayout([charseq], paint, width,
                Alignment.ALIGN_CENTER, 1.0f, 0.0f, false);

This will layout your text limited to a specific width.

The Canvas.drawText methods do not automatically handle line-wrapping. You will have to do this yourself. You could try using the breakText methods in the Paint object—not sure if these break on word boundaries, or simply on whole characters.

What you are looking for is StaticLayout.

You can use Android.text.StaticLayout class and call it's draw(Canvas) to draw text which wraps onto the next line.
