如何在Android中获取textView的最大长度？

Question

Hello I created a textview in the main layout, with a certain value for android:maxLength. Now I'd like to get that value back into an int variable; I know how to refer to the textView in Java, but there are no direct methods in the TextView Object to get its maximium length. Is there any way to obtain this value?

Unfortunately, you can't. When you set maximum length what actually happens is that a new InputFilter.LengthFilter is created and added to input filters of this field. You can retrieve all the filters of this TextView , but even if you find this particular filter, you can't find out what was the maximum size.
