Answer 1

Use android:maxLength="" to limit the text length

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewName"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Name"
        android:maxLength="12"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

You can also use another property as follows:

android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="1"

show result :

"Hello How are ..." instead of "Hello How are you?"
