I have a textview and the text is loaded dynamically.

 <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txt_song_title"
            style="?attr/txtcolorHightlight"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignTop="@id/frlyt_img_cover"
            android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/img_audio_source_icon"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:fontFamily="@string/roboto_light"
            android:maxLines="3"
            android:text=""
            android:textSize="@dimen/font_36" />

The textview has to show the entire text which is set (10 to 100+)characters. Based on text length, the font size should be changed inorder to fit the entire text. How to calculate num of words in the textview to change font size and display entire text without clipping dynamically?

I think you can do it from java code level. TextView class provides methods to implement this.

Try using a library, for example a simple google search gave me this: https://github.com/grantland/android-autofittextview

I have not tried it but it seems ok :)
