How to get a line number under cursor

Question

Given a multi-line EditText, how can I know the line number at cursor position?

Answer 1

Take the text of the control and put it in a string. Loop over the string up to the index of the cursor position and count the number of newlines.

Answer 2

Something like textview.getPaint().measureText(textview.getText().toString()) / textView.getWidth();

This assumes the cursor is at the end of the text, if not you gotta use substring measure.
