You could extend TextView to your custom VerticalTextView and override setText() method. In setText implementation you could iterate through text and modify it inserting linebreaks \n. After you finish just set result value to your view.

can you give me ideas or code which override setText() method. – Connecting life with Android Dec 23 '11 at 04:48
Alternatively, you could use a `TextWatcher` if you just want to override `setText`, and it could append the `\n` to each character that is added to the `TextView` – Dandre Allison Jan 09 '13 at 17:04
