try this code...

    final TextView tv_yourtext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);

    tv_yourtext.setText("A really long text");
    ViewTreeObserver vto = tv_yourtext.getViewTreeObserver();
    vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            ViewTreeObserver obs = tv_yourtext.getViewTreeObserver();
            obs.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
            if(tv_yourtext.getLineCount() > 6){
                Log.d("","Line["+tv_yourtext.getLineCount()+"]"+tv_yourtext.getText());
                int lineEndIndex = tv_yourtext.getLayout().getLineEnd(5);
                String text = tv_yourtext.getText().subSequence(0, lineEndIndex-3)+"...";
                tv_yourtext.setText(text);
                Log.d("","NewText:"+text);
            }

        }
    });
