This code for ViewHolder helps you to shorten your text lines which do not fit into your list item. Smooth scroll as a result.

ListTextBreaker.java

int maxWidth = viewHolder.viewGroup.getWidth();
TextPaint textPaint = viewHolder.titleView.getPaint();

String title = cursor.getString(ArticlesQuery.TITLE);
int chars = textPaint.breakText(title, true, maxWidth, null);
if (chars < title.length()) {
    title = title.substring(0, chars);
}

viewHolder.titleView.setText(title);
