Can anyone tell me what's going wrong with the text? Text longer than one line doesn't wrap to the next line but goes beyond the screen.

Following is the code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:padding="4dip">

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" 
        android:padding="4dip">

        <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal" 
            android:padding="4dip">
            <TextView 
                android:id="@+id/reviewItemEntityName"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="event/venue" 
                android:textColor="@color/maroon"
                android:singleLine="true" 
                android:ellipsize="end" 
                android:textSize="14sp"
                android:textStyle="bold" 
                android:layout_weight="1" />

            <ImageView 
                android:id="@+id/reviewItemStarRating"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                android:src="@drawable/title_1_star" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <TextView 
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemDescription"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Description comes here" 
            android:textSize="12sp" 
            android:layout_weight="1"/>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I fixed it myself, the key is android:width="0dip"

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="4dip"
    android:layout_weight="1">

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="4dip">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemEntityName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textColor="@color/maroon"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:ellipsize="end"
            android:textSize="14sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:layout_weight="1" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemStarRating"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/reviewItemDescription"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="12sp"
            android:width="0dip" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/widget01"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/arrow_nxt"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:paddingRight="5dip" />

</LinearLayout>

One of your layout parameters is wrong in your code. In the first TextView 

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

change to

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

The text that out of screen width size will wrap to next line and set android:singleline="false".

you have to use android:singleLine="false" in ur TextView tags.

I'm using constraint layout mostly.

1) android:layout_width="match_parent" = tries to stretch to meet edges

2) android:layout_width="wrap_content" = based solely on the input text without regard for other views nearby. for example adding android:textAlignment="center" will change the shape of the text

3) android:padding="12dp" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:singleLine="false"

= The text will fold to accommodate nearby layouts without regard to the text itself

In my case, My text view has a background, so applying width as 0dp does not work for me, because even for small texts the background will take the whole available space. Managed to solve it by adding

app:layout_constrainedWidth="true"

no need to set the width as 0dp, wrap content is working fine, hope this helps someone with same issue

inside your TextView write this:

android:inputType="textMultiLine"

problem solved
