//how to reduce text size if text goes to second line when it's too large?

Thanks in advance

Is it `TextView` size or the **textSize** inside it. Since `sp` is used for textsize and `dp` is used for view's size. — CodeWarrior, Jun 17 '14 at 10:21
If you want to reduce the text size than you might add text watcher and in that onTextChanged method you can check if line count is greter than one with textView.getLineCount() and can change the text size. — KunalK, Jun 17 '14 at 10:24

You can bind TextWatcher to you textView as done in following code snippet and listen for text changes in your textView.

...
txtView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txt);
txtView.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            if(txtView.getLineCount() > 1){
                txtView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 14);
            }
        }
});
...

Use spannable as

String s= "Hello Everyone next line";
 SpannableString ss1=  new SpannableString(s);
 ss1.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(2f), 0,13, 0); // set size of Hello Everyone
 ss1.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(f), 14,23, 0);// set size of Next line
 TextView tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
 tv.setText(ss1);
