android canvas draw text in the triangle

In this Image I want text to totally be in the triangle with CYAN color.
I have created my own ImageView:
public class BookImageView extends android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView {
private static final Float DISCOUNT_SIDE_SIZE = 0.33333F;
private Bitmap bitmap;
private Paint drawPaint = new Paint();
private Paint trianglePaint = new Paint();
{
trianglePaint.setColor(Constants.DISCOUNT_COLOR);
trianglePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
trianglePaint.setShadowLayer(10.0f, 10.0f, 10.0f, Color.parseColor("#7f000000"));
trianglePaint.setAntiAlias(true);
drawPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
drawPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD));
drawPaint.setShadowLayer(1f, 0f, 1f, Color.BLACK);
}
// Constractors ...
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
if (bitmap != null) {
Bitmap tempBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
Canvas tempCanvas = new Canvas(tempBitmap);
tempCanvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
Path path = new Path();
path.setFillType(Path.FillType.EVEN_ODD);
float size = bitmap.getWidth() * DISCOUNT_SIDE_SIZE;
path.lineTo(size, 0);
path.lineTo(0, size);
path.lineTo(0, 0);
path.close();
tempCanvas.drawPath(path, trianglePaint);
float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
drawPaint.setTextSize((int) (14 * scale));
Rect textBounds = new Rect();
drawPaint.getTextBounds("50%", 0, "50%".length(), textBounds);
int x = (int) (size / 2) - textBounds.width() / 2;
int y = (int) (size / 2) - textBounds.height() / 2;
tempCanvas.save();
tempCanvas.rotate(-45, x, y);
tempCanvas.drawText("50%", x, y, drawPaint);
tempCanvas.restore();
setImageDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(getContext().getResources(), tempBitmap));
}
}
#Override
public void setImageBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
this.bitmap = bitmap;
invalidate();
}
}
what can I do to solve this problem ?

You can try something like this
1) Measure the width of your text
Use measureText
2) From the point you are drawing calculate the width remaining to draw
3) Now depending on the use case you can curtail the length of text or scale the text as needed
int textWidthRequired = (int) drawPaint.measureText(textToDraw);
int widthRemainingToDraw = totalWidth/2 - textDrawX;
if(textWidthRequired > widthRemainingToDraw){
//handling
}
// draw text
tempCanvas.drawText(textToDraw,textDrawX, textDrawY, drawPaint);

Depending on how high up you want the text to be, you can use properties of similar triangles to first determine the maximum width of the text. In your case, size = the triangle's base, and size = the triangle's height/altitude. Let's define two variables:
Correction: The altitude won't be equal to the base. You'd need to calculate the altitude in order to use the below solution.
float triangleBase = size; // triangle base
float triangleAltitude = size; // Calculate this.
Let's say we want the text to be halfway up the center of the triangle:
float textYHeight = triangleHeight/2;
We figure out the width of the triangle at this point by using the following formula since the sides of similar triangles are proportional:
baseOfTriangleA/baseOfTriangleB = altitudeOfTriangleA/altitudeOfTriangleB;
float triangleWidthAtTextYLocation = (textYHeight * triangleBase)/triangleAltitude;
Now that we know what the width of the triangle is at this location, we can just iterate through different text scales until the text width is less than the value triangleWidthAtTextYlocation.
float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
int scaleFactor = 0;
drawPaint.setTextSize((int) (scaleFactor * scale));
Rect textBounds = new Rect();
drawPaint.getTextBounds("50%", 0, "50%".length(), textBounds);
while(textBounds.length < triangleWidthAtTextYLocation){
// Re-measure the text until it exceeds the width
scaleFactor++;
drawPaint.setTextSize((int) (scaleFactor * scale));
drawPaint.getTextBounds("50%", 0, "50%".length(), textBounds);
}
// Once we know the scaleFactor that puts it over the width of the triangle
// at that location, we reduce it by 1 to be just under that width:
scaleFactor = Maths.abs(scaleFactor - 1);
// final text size:
drawPaint.setTextSize((int) (scaleFactor * scale));

Android - Any library for adding repost label to bitmap

I have been trying to make a photo sharing app, with the ability to add your image and name to the image. I have been messing with Canvas for the whole day, but couldn't get good results. I was able to draw the name and bitmap, but they didn't look so good.
That's why I am here asking about is there any library or piece of code that could help me in making something similar to [this][1]. I wasn't able to find any thing for it.
EDIT: Sorry for not adding my own code
Here is my code from my latest try
public void AddText(Position2D pos){
//Position2D is an enum having the 4 corners of the image
bmWorking= bmOriginal.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888,true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmWorking);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
float width = (35f/100f) * bmWorking.getWidth();
float height = (width/16f) * 3;
textPaint.setTextSize(height - 4); //I wanted to have some space (margin) above and below the text
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
float [] coords = getPositionCoords(pos, width, height); //getPositionCoords returns a float array with the Left,Top,Right,Bottom position calculated based on the width and height
canvas.drawRect(coords[0],coords[1], coords[2], coords[3],paint);
username = "Haider Ali Punjabi";
canvas.drawText(username, coords[0] ,coords[3], textPaint);
bitmapView.setImageBitmap(bmWorking);
}
Here is the result
UPDATE:
#pskink gave me this code
which works nicely

if you want to customize it, then instead of solid white rectangle (like in your original code) use a Drawable and the result could be something like this:
the code:
// for int gravity: see android.view.Gravity, like Gravity.LEFT, Gravity.BOTTOM, etc
// for example:
// Bitmap out = addText(this, in, "Haider Ali Punjabi", android.R.drawable.alert_light_frame, Gravity.BOTTOM, new Point(10, 10));
public Bitmap addText(Context ctx, Bitmap in, String text, int resId, int gravity, Point pad) {
if (pad == null) pad = new Point();
Bitmap out = in.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(out);
Paint textPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
// textPaint.setTextSize(128);
Rect inBounds = new Rect();
textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), inBounds);
float scale = out.getWidth() * 0.35f / inBounds.width();
Rect container = new Rect(0, 0, out.getWidth(), out.getHeight());
Rect outBounds = new Rect();
int w = (int) (inBounds.width() * scale);
int h = (int) (inBounds.height() * scale);
Gravity.apply(gravity, 2 * pad.x + w, 2 * pad.y + h, container, outBounds);
Drawable dr = ctx.getResources().getDrawable(resId);
Rect padding = new Rect();
dr.getPadding(padding);
dr.setBounds(outBounds.left - padding.left, outBounds.top - padding.top, outBounds.right + padding.right, outBounds.bottom + padding.bottom);
dr.draw(canvas);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
RectF src = new RectF(inBounds);
RectF dst = new RectF(outBounds);
dst.inset(pad.x, pad.y);
matrix.setRectToRect(src, dst, Matrix.ScaleToFit.CENTER);
canvas.concat(matrix);
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 0, textPaint);
return out;
}

Paint.getTextBounds() returns to big height

EDIT: The problem came from the emulator, the error did not appear on a real device :(
I'm trying to draw some text in a custom view and must there for measure it but the value of the Paint.getTextBounds() returns a height which is about 30% higher then the actual text which gives everything a quirky look.
I found this: Android Paint: .measureText() vs .getTextBounds() and tried to add the solution code to my own onDraw and saw that i the same measuring error as in my code. Here is a picture of the result:
Compare with:
The image is copied from Android Paint: .measureText() vs .getTextBounds()
Note the spacing above the text in the first picture. Any Ideas what might be causing this? Or are there alternative ways to measure height of a drawn string?
Here is the onDraw method:
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
// canvas.drawColor(color_Z1);
// r.set(0, 0, (int)(width*progress), height);
// paint.setColor(color_Z2);
//// canvas.drawRect(r, paint);
// textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), r);
// canvas.drawRect(r, paint);
// canvas.drawText(text, 0, r.height(), textPaint);
final String s = "Hello. I'm some text!";
Paint p = new Paint();
Rect bounds = new Rect();
p.setTextSize(60);
p.getTextBounds(s, 0, s.length(), bounds);
float mt = p.measureText(s);
int bw = bounds.width();
Log.i("LCG", String.format(
"measureText %f, getTextBounds %d (%s)",
mt,
bw, bounds.toShortString())
);
bounds.offset(0, -bounds.top);
p.setStyle(Style.STROKE);
canvas.drawColor(0xff000080);
p.setColor(0xffff0000);
canvas.drawRect(bounds, p);
p.setColor(0xff00ff00);
canvas.drawText(s, 0, bounds.bottom, p);
}

i didnot test your code but i dont see any problems with Paint.getTextBounds():
public class TextBoundsTest extends View {
private Paint paint;
private Rect bounds;
public TextBoundsTest(Context context) {
super(context);
paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paint.setTextSize(32);
bounds = new Rect();
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
String text = "this is my text";
paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), bounds);
Log.d(TAG, "onDraw " + bounds);
int x = (getWidth() - bounds.width()) / 2;
int y = 70;
paint.setColor(0xff008800);
bounds.offset(x, y);
canvas.drawRect(bounds, paint);
paint.setColor(0xffeeeeee);
canvas.drawText(text, x, y, paint);
}
}
add this in Activity.onCreate:
TextBoundsTest view = new TextBoundsTest(this);
setContentView(view);
the result is:

How to write text more than 10 letters using Canvas and paint on map?

Marking few markers and adding names using Canvas and Paint on map. But am able to see the text only 9 characters rest are hiding (not visible). How to do it?
private Bitmap drawTitleOnMarkerIcon(MarkingInfo markingInfo) {
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), AddLocationTypeIcon.getIcon(markingInfo.getType())).copy(
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
paint.setTextSize(16);
paint.setTextAlign(Align.LEFT);
canvas.drawText(markingInfo.getName(), 0, 60, paint);
BitmapDrawable draw = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bm);
return draw.getBitmap();
}
I should able to see complete text, When I have more than 15 character just I need to wrap it to next line. search many sites and posted query previously but I got no solution. please do help to achieve this task

private Bitmap textAsBitmap(String text, float textSize, int textColor) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setTextSize(textSize);
paint.setColor(textColor);
paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
int width = (int) (paint.measureText(text) + 0.5f); // round
float baseline = (int) (-paint.ascent() + 0.5f); // ascent()is negative
int height = (int) (baseline + paint.descent() + 0.5f);
Bitmap image = Bitmap.createBitmap(width,height,Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(image);
canvas.drawText(text, 0, baseline, paint);
return image;
}
MarkerOptions().title(Name()).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(textAsBitmap));

Circle drawn on canvas doesn't match the screen

I want to draw circle in center of screen, but I'm getting something like this:
I'm using this code to draw this circle.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int width = display.getWidth();
int height = display.getHeight();
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
Canvas c = new Canvas(bmp);
RectF rect = new RectF(0,0,width,width);
drawCircle(rect, c, width, height);
ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
img.setImageBitmap(bmp);
img.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
}
private void drawCircle(RectF rect, Canvas c, int width, int height) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setARGB(255, 255 , 10, 21);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.BUTT);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
int radius;
if(width < height)
radius = width/2;
else
radius = height/2;
c.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, radius, paint);
}
I don't understand why it's cut at sides even though I use size of screen to draw it, so it should perfectly fit it.

You didn't account for the thickness of the line (strokeWidth). You drew a circle assuming it had 0 thickness, so the "actual" circle IS touching the edges of the screen, but since you used a thick paintbrush, some of the paint leaked past the edge.

you should decrease the thickness/2.
private void drawCircle(RectF rect, Canvas c, int width, int height) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setARGB(255, 255 , 10, 21);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.BUTT);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
int radius;
if(width < height)
radius = width/2;
else
radius = height/2;
//this is the new line:
radius-= 5;
c.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, radius, paint);
}

Account for the StrokeWidth in the radius:
// Substract stroke width.
radius -= paint.getStrokeWidth() / 2;
c.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, radius, paint);
