How to make TextView in Android wrap and adjust text beautifully?

Question

When text is small then I get this:

But when text is big I get this:

Is it possible that text adjust itself by maybe better using spaces or decreasing little size automatically?

This is my TextView xml:

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/seaGreen"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:padding="10dp"
            android:textColor="@color/white"
            android:textSize="35sp" />

nope for that you need to use external library for that, else you can set gravity as center — Madhur, Jan 22 '16 at 07:51
