I have text which, when in portrait orientation, runs along the bottom of the screen. When the orientation is switched to landscape I want to draw the same text vertically along the same edge of the screen, so that it appears in exactly the same place as when in portrait mode. Other ui elements are drawn as normal for the new orientation.
I have tried: Path path = new Path(); path.moveTo(getWidth() - textGap, getHeight()); path.lineTo(getWidth() - textGap, 0); canvas.drawTextOnPath(textString, path, 0, 0, paint); and canvas.save(); canvas.rotate(270); canvas.drawText(textString, -getHeight() / 2, getWidth() - textGap, paint); canvas.restore(); this works best, but bits and pieces of letters are still up to several pixels out from their origional position, as if the width of certain the letters changed. Even drawing the text onto a seperate canvas, rotated and drawn onto the current one doesnt seem to work as that forcibly applies antialiasing for some reason. That is even worse because the text is very small at 12 points and is better without it - the size of the text may or may not be a factor in my problem, though I would have thought a straight up 90 degree rotate would produce a perfect result regardless. -Numeron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
