You probably need two things.
1/ make sure your text view is multiline, as opposed to singleLine, if
you want it to wrap to the next line.
2/ you will need to set the column for your text view (the one that
you want to wrap) to shrinkable.

getSystemService() is not a static method and in Context is only an
abstract method. You need to provide an actual Context such as your

This all sounds like a local Service to me. Open the db in onBind if
