How to get a line number under cursor

Given a multi-line EditText, how can I know the li开发者_开发问答ne number at cursor position?

Something like textview.getPaint().measureText(textview.getText().toString()) / textView.getWidth();

This assumes the cursor is at the end of the text, if not you gotta use substring measure.

Sorry for brevity on my iPad
