I think you can't :(. Android os calculate the gaps between the lines according the font size, so that '30$' makes gap between line 1 and line 2 to be bigger, and I do not know if it is possible to control this gap size.

To solve this you can easily extend LinearLayuot and put the orientation vertical. Than put 2 textviews with fillparent for width....

and than implement function , let say setNoGapText(String s); , and in this function you can measure the text that can be fit in the textview on the top(this can me done with textutils), and than the rest of the text will be fit on textview2...

between this textview you can play with padding and margins properties so the gaps between lines will look just like you imagine them.
