Android Studio 3.5

All you need to do is set an End constraint in a constraintlayout inside your textView:

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

Alternatively, you can use support library's autosizing for TextViews as per the Android docs.

How to use?

For API 26 and later:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:autoSizeTextType="uniform" />

To support earlier version of Android you can use:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    app:autoSizeTextType="uniform" />

If you have an option that increases/decreases TextView size then you can do:

For API 26 and later:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
    android:autoSizeMinTextSize="12sp"
    android:autoSizeMaxTextSize="100sp"
    android:autoSizeStepGranularity="2sp" />

For earlier versions:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="200dp"
      app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
      app:autoSizeMinTextSize="12sp"
      app:autoSizeMaxTextSize="100sp"
      app:autoSizeStepGranularity="2sp" />

I think setting the following properties to your TextView should help you to achieve this behavior:

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="none"
android:singleLine="false"
