In this method documentation it's written that:
x The x-coordinate of origin for where to draw the text
y The y-coordinate of origin for where to draw the text
But it doesn't say anything about the direction this text is drawn. I know that the text is drawn from the origin up, but when I give the following arguments, my text gets cut:
canvas.drawText(displayText, 0, canvas.getHeight(), textPaint);
in addition, assume I'm using Align.LEFT (meaning that the text is drawn to the right of the x,y origin)
So what are the correct arguments should be (assuming I don't want to use fixed numbers)?
This is what I eventually used:
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
if (textAlignment == Align.CENTER) {
canvas.drawText(displayText, canvas.getWidth()/2, canvas.getHeight()-TEXT_PADDING, textPaint);
}
else if (textAlignment == Align.RIGHT) {
canvas.drawText(displayText, canvas.getWidth()-TEXT_PADDING, canvas.getHeight()-TEXT_PADDING, textPaint);
}
else if (textAlignment == Align.LEFT) {
canvas.drawText(displayText, TEXT_PADDING, canvas.getHeight()-TEXT_PADDING, textPaint);
}
//canvas.drawRect(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight(), p);
}
