General :: Painting Multiline Text On Image
Aug 31, 2012
I'm trying to develop a simple application to add a caption into a image, but I have a problem.
The app is simple: I click on a TextView, an AlertDialog pops-up with a EditText, I insert some text, click at "ok" and it sets that text as the textview.
Then comes my problem: I click on a save button and it saves the image with that caption on my sd card. If it's a short text, everything's fine, but on text's that have more than one line it shows everything on only one line. So, if it's a long text, instead of breaking it according to the image's width and continuing into a new line, it just keeps going off the screen.
I'm using canvas.drawText to do it, but it doesn't support line breaks so I'm pretty lost about this.
Is there another way to do this that supports line break? Or a way to break the string into a new line and then use drawText?

I recently started playing with what people call "light painting" using my cell phone and tablet, and it can be fun... but, what I think would really be awesome is if I could pre-load an image, and have it 'paint' it as I move the device around. This is basically identical to the other light-painting apps, but none of them seem to offer this functionality.
I can just imagine some trippy picture I could make with this

I need to implement multiline text with ellipsis with txt to be no more than two lines. Ellipsis attributes in default TextView does not seem to work for multiline text. I could implement my own text widget, but i don't know how to break text into multiple lines. In this case I could draw text line by line and draw ellipsis on second line if necessary.

I have compiled AOSP 4.1.2 for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510) and have encountered an interesting issue with the soft keyboard. For some strange reason, when I touch a text entry field and the soft keyboard appears on the screen, it seems to paint incorrectly. rather than spanning the entire width of the display, it seems to be "squished" over to the left a bit and there is maybe a half-inch of empty gray space showing in the display to the right of the keyboard. However, the thing that makes it more interesting is that the actual digitizer mappings for the keyboard seem correct. As a result, I have to press somewhere between O and P for example to get an O to appear, trying to press L does a K or I, etc. The problem does seem to lie with how the UI is painting the keyboard onto the screen.
I've tried installing an alternate keyboard to see if it was specific to LatinIME but it doesn't seem to be...no matter what keyboard I use, the issue remains.
I've checked in my device and vendor trees used to build the ROM, and can't find anything that appears to be setting anything related. Is it a bad lib maybe, or something else that needs to be tweaked in the source or kernel? I'm fairly new to this and haven't encountered anything like it. I've successfully built AOSP 4.0.4 and never saw this type of behavior.

So this weekend while checking out the new Wegman's grocery in Leesburg, my almost 4 year old daughter asked to play with my iPod Touch. I didn't have it with me cause it has a cracked screen that I'm in the middle of fixing so I thought I would hand her my Droid to play with. I had put a couple of games and "painting" apps on one of the homepages that I designated for her, but after only a couple of minutes, she didn't like it. Are there any good games/drawing/painting apps out there for kids? On the iPod she had games like "Anisays" (spell the animal on the screen with drag and drop tiles and it makes a sound), "Animatch" (like memory,flip tiles to find a match and it makes a sound), and several decent drawing/painting apps that had pull out drawers where you could change colors or pencil size. Most of the stuff in the free area of the market seems kinda cheezy and with terrible graphics.

I have a couple questions on ellipsize on the TextView...
1) Is there anyway to get ellipsize to work on a multiline TextView? So that the ellipses are shown at the end of the text, rather than at the end of the line? If not what is the best way to handle this on my own?]
2) Is there any way to change the character used for eellipsize? For example, use "... [Read More]", this obviously coincides with question 1 above since one wouldn't want to take half of the single line to say read more, but on a multiline, it would be nice to be able to have like 3 or 4 lines and then a read more? Maybe there is a better way to do this that I haven't figured out yet?

I have a relative layout with various text view aligned in it.But the alignment goes wrong if value of any textview goes multiline.is there any way to avoid it?
The view required is something like :
Name: Abc
address: 23,abc street,fhjhg apartments,Country
Email: abcdgehfhf@mail.com
address text view has width set as wrap-content
but it appears like:
Name: Abc
address: 23,abc street
Email: fhjhg apartments,Country
abcdgehfhf@mail.com

I am required to use custom fonts in my application.
Problem: For ListViews that contain rows with Multi-Line TextViews having ellipsize property set to true, I can see some illegible characters after the ellipsis. Apparently Android pads the String(in TextView) with some characters(ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE) unknown to my custom font. Single line TextView seem to work just fine.
What is the best way to hide these characters or remove the padding?
Also, is there any variant of Helvetica font, freely available that would have ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE character?

I'm working on an Android Application for AutiPlan, which is a web-based planner tool for people with an Autism-related disorder.I want to create an application which shows the current activity (planned item), together with a clock. (AnalogClock) On this clock, I want to paint a red background from the current-minute to the minute at which the activity ends. To clarify, if it is now 12:00 and the current activity ends at 12:15, the right-top quarter of the circle that makes out the analog clock is red. This has to be updated every minute, so that it is clear how much time is left for the current activity. (The red section gets smaller each minute). Also, (question 2) I want to use AnalogClock to display a small (stationary) clock with the time that the next activity starts. Can I set the time of the object so it displays a specific time?

Is there a way to create Buttons that contain both an Image and Text (image on top text below or image left and text right)? And how can this be done within a xml layout file? For example, the application 'Pkt Auctions eBay' (see Android Market) has these type of buttons.So far I have tried and googled all over and found nothing on the matter. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A 'Button' view comes up with text, while the 'ImageButton' widget comes up with an image but no text, is there a way to relatively easily (e.g. method calls, say), either:
1. Add text to ImageButton (like those buttons that appear in menu item/via the physical menu button)?
2. Add an icon/image to a Button?
without resorting to constructing a new button class? I.e. I could put text within the image, but then I can't use Localization properly/effectively.

I'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image. If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android: drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display). One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?

My app shows a list of items, where each line is an item title with its image asides, the line reserves 70% of space for text and 30% for image. Imagine what iphone app store looks like. Which view/layout combo is recommended for this purpose? I googled and find this article

Can you please tell me if there is a way to layout textaround an image?I have gotten a response from an android developer about this question. But I am not sure what he means by doing my own version of TextView? Thank for any tips.This is not possible using only the supplied widgets and layouts. could write your own version of TextView to do this, it shouldn't be hard.

I have a situation where I am using a TextView with an image and would like to set a background on just the text part. When I use android:background it sets the background behind both the text and the image. Is there a way to have it just put the background behind the text without me having to tear apart my layout and use a separate ImageView with the TextView?

I wish to make a scrolling interface. The screen is populated with images in the left one fourth and corresponding text for an image in the remaining three fourth. There will be n number of image-text on the screen and hence should be scrollable. Also image-text when clicked takes you to a new screen. I seem to be stuck and cant think about which layout should I choose. I am a beginner in Android Developing.
