I’m trying to display a text using the code below.
The problem is that the text is not centered horizontally.
When I set the coordinates for drawText
, it sets the bottom of the text at this position. I would like the text to be drawn so that the text is centered also horizontally.
This is a picture to display my problem further:
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDraw(canvas);
//canvas.drawRGB(2, 2, 200);
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setARGB(200, 254, 0, 0);
textPaint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
textPaint.setTypeface(font);
textPaint.setTextSize(300);
canvas.drawText("Hello", canvas.getWidth()/2, canvas.getHeight()/2 , textPaint);
}
