You should create a StaticLayout (or StaticLayout.Builder for API > 23) with your text and get the width and height of the text. If you are not interested the system to line break the text for you, you should give Integer.MAX_VALUE for the width parameter.

Once you create the StaticLayout, you can use getWidth(), getHeight(), getLineWidth() etc. functions for the information you are looking for.
