title: Can I limit TextView's number of characters?
body: <p>What I have now is a ListView of TextView elements. each TextView element displays a text (the text length varies from 12 words to 100+). What I want is to make these TextViews display a portion of the text (let's say 20 word or roughly 170 chars).</p>
  
  <p>How to limit the TextView to a fixed number of characters?</p>
