title: How can I get the maximum length of a textView in Android?
body: <p>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?</p>
