How do you rotate text that is in the canvas? I need to flip the text I have upside down.
paint.setTextSize(20);
canvas.drawText("3AM", xStored, yStored, paint);
refer this link
int x = 75;
int y = 185;
paint.setColor(Color.GRAY);
paint.setTextSize(25);
String rotatedtext = "Rotated helloandroid :)";
//Draw bounding rect before rotating text:
Rect rect = new Rect();
paint.getTextBounds(rotatedtext, 0, rotatedtext.length(), rect);
canvas.translate(x, y);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
canvas.drawText(rotatedtext , 0, 0, paint);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
canvas.drawRect(rect, paint);
canvas.translate(-x, -y);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
canvas.rotate(-45, x + rect.exactCenterX(),y + rect.exactCenterY());
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
canvas.drawText(rotatedtext, x, y, paint);
I got the solution from the comment by Romain Guy below the accepted answer
How can you display upside down text with a textview in Android?
Quoting You can just scale by -1 on the Y axis.
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
int cx = this.getMeasuredWidth() / 2;
int cy = this.getMeasuredHeight() / 2;
canvas.scale(1f, -1f, cx, cy);
canvas.drawText("3AM", cx, cy, p);
}
Complete Example:
public class SView extends View {
Paint p,paint;
public SView(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
p = new Paint();
p.setColor(Color.RED);
p.setTextSize(40);
paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
paint.setTextSize(40);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
int cx = this.getMeasuredWidth() / 2;
int cy = this.getMeasuredHeight() / 2;
canvas.drawText("3AM", cx, cy, paint);
canvas.save();
canvas.scale(1f, -1f, cx, cy);
canvas.drawText("3AM", cx, cy, p);
canvas.restore();
}
}
Snap
You need to rotate the canvas prior to the drawText() call:
canvas.save(); // save the current state of the canvas
canvas.rotate(180.0f); //rotates 180 degrees
canvas.drawText("3AM", xStored, yStored, paint);
canvas.restore(); //return to 0 degree
**EDIT - That will only invert it but it will be back-to-front. You actually need to mirror on the text-basline, assuming that is what you meant.

I need to implement curved text which draw text on circular path on canvas.
It does draw circular path using
canvas.drawTextOnPath(QUOTE, circle, 485, 20, tPaint);
but it is not working for different length of the text.
Following is my Class to draw circular text on the canavs.
public class CircularTextVie extends View {
private String QUOTE = "";
private Path circle;
private Paint cPaint;
private Paint tPaint;
public CircularTextVie(Context context) {
super(context);
circle = new Path();
cPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
cPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
cPaint.setColor(Color.LTGRAY);
cPaint.setStrokeWidth(3);
tPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
tPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
tPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.restore();
int xPos = (canvas.getWidth() /3);
int yPos = (int) ((canvas.getHeight() / 3) - ((tPaint.descent() + tPaint.ascent()) / 3)) ;
circle.addCircle(xPos, yPos, 150, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.drawTextOnPath(QUOTE, circle, 485, 20, tPaint);
QUOTE="";
}
public void SetText(String text) {
this.QUOTE = text;
}
public void SetTypeFace(Typeface face) {
cPaint.setTypeface(face);
tPaint.setTypeface(face);
}
public void SetColor(int color) {
cPaint.setColor(color);
tPaint.setColor(color);
}
}
Thanks.
This can be done by varying the x and y positions based on textwidth
Define variables
private Rect textBounds;
private int mTextWidth, mTextHeight,centerX,centerY;
Add the below in the constructor of customview
textBounds = new Rect();
tPaint.getTextBounds(QUOTE, 0, QUOTE.length(), textBounds);
mTextWidth = Math.round(tPaint.measureText(QUOTE.toString())); // Use measureText to calculate width
mTextHeight = textBounds.height(); // Use height from getTextBounds()
Then in onDraw
canvas.drawCircle(centerX,centerY,150,mCirlcePaint);
circle.addCircle(centerX, centerY, 150, Path.Direction.CW);
// Note the 0 that's y offset. textdraw at circumference of the circle. Changing y you probably need to change the radius as well i guess.
canvas.drawTextOnPath(QUOTE, circle, (centerX)-(mTextWidth / 2f), 0, tPaint);
centerX,centerY are the center of the circle ie canvaswidht/2 and canvasHeight/2. I drew a circle for reference
The results for hello
The result for a bigger text
For numbers
Edit: To the question in comment
The math involved is in calculating the semi circle using text length
radius = (float) ((mTextWidth) / (Math.PI)). If text length is greater than your canvas you need to reduce the text size or use the full circle radius = (float) ((mTextWidth) / (2*(Math.PI))). Few other edge case you can consider to draw the text properly.
public class GraphicsView extends View {
private String QUOTE = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
private Path circle;
private Paint mCirlcePaint;
private Paint tPaint;
private Rect textBounds;
private int mTextWidth, mTextHeight, centerX, centerY;
private float radius;
public GraphicsView(Context context) {
super(context);
circle = new Path();
tPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
tPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
tPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
tPaint.setTextSize(100f);
textBounds = new Rect();
tPaint.getTextBounds(QUOTE, 0, QUOTE.length(), textBounds);
mTextWidth = Math.round(tPaint.measureText(QUOTE.toString())); // Use measureText to calculate width
mTextHeight = textBounds.height(); // Use height from getTextBounds()
mCirlcePaint = new Paint();
mCirlcePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
mCirlcePaint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
radius = (float) ((mTextWidth) / (Math.PI));
}
#Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
centerX = w / 2;
centerY = h / 2;
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.rotate(180, getWidth() / 2, getHeight() / 2);
canvas.drawCircle(centerX, centerY, radius, mCirlcePaint);
circle.addCircle(centerX, centerY, radius, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.drawTextOnPath(QUOTE, circle, 0, 0, tPaint);
}
}
I am working with a custom UI element highlights.So I need to draw a half ellipse like shape over a particular view on runtime.
For example:
I have to draw a yellow color half ellipse over a white ellipse.
Help will be appreciated.
public class MyView extends View {
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onDraw(canvas);
float width = (float) getWidth();
float height = (float) getHeight();
float radius;
if (width > height) {
radius = height / 4;
} else {
radius = width / 4;
}
Path path = new Path();
path.addCircle(width / 2,
height / 2, radius,
Path.Direction.CW);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStrokeWidth(5);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
float center_x, center_y;
final RectF oval = new RectF();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
center_x = width / 2;
center_y = height / 2;
oval.set(center_x - radius,
center_y - radius,
center_x + radius,
center_y + radius);
canvas.drawArc(oval, 90, 180, false, paint);
}
}
Add
new MyView(this)
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
float width = canvas.getWidth();
float height = canvas.getHeight();
Path path = new Path();
path.addArc(new RectF(0, 0, width, height), 90, 180);
canvas.clipPath(path);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
canvas.drawRect(new RectF(0, 0, width, height), paint);
}
I use this code to override other views; it's ok(show a semicircle);
but when I use this to override FrameLayout, show me a rectangle?!
Why?
How can I modify it?
What I am searching for, is a view that reveals an image in a clockwise circular fashion. When the progress is 25% the first 90 degrees should be revealed and when its 100% the full 360 degrees should be drawn.
It is very close to using the canvas.drawArc(), but this method only works with Paint objects, not bitmaps.
Other answers also only work with full colors:

I have found it to be a very hard problem, I hope someone has a solution.
tre this:
public class MyView extends View {
private Bitmap mBitmap;
private Paint mPaint;
private RectF mOval;
private float mAngle = 135;
private Paint mTextPaint;
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
// use your bitmap insted of R.drawable.ic_launcher
mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
mPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
mOval = new RectF();
mTextPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
mTextPaint.setTextSize(48);
mTextPaint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
mTextPaint.setColor(0xffffaa00);
mTextPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
}
#Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
Matrix m = new Matrix();
RectF src = new RectF(0, 0, mBitmap.getWidth(), mBitmap.getHeight());
RectF dst = new RectF(0, 0, w, h);
m.setRectToRect(src, dst, ScaleToFit.CENTER);
Shader shader = new BitmapShader(mBitmap, TileMode.CLAMP, TileMode.CLAMP);
shader.setLocalMatrix(m);
mPaint.setShader(shader);
m.mapRect(mOval, src);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(0xff0000aa);
canvas.drawArc(mOval, -90, mAngle, true, mPaint);
canvas.drawText("click me", getWidth() / 2, getHeight() / 2, mTextPaint);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float w2 = getWidth() / 2f;
float h2 = getHeight() / 2f;
mAngle = (float) Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(event.getY() - h2, event.getX() - w2));
mAngle += 90 + 360;
mAngle %= 360;
invalidate();
return true;
}
}
When the following code is executing on emulator with android 2.3 it worked, but when running it on android 2.2 nothing appear ... why ?
