Show text on ImageView UIL

Question

I am using Universal Image Loader. I want to set some Text on Image. How can I do this? ImageView does not let me set the text and I want to use UIL but it take only ImageView as a parameter.

displayImage(String uri, ImageView imageView, DisplayImageOptions options, ImageLoadingListener listener)

Thanks!

That should be easy. I don't know what UIL do exactly. But this should help you

1. Create a custom view of your own.
2. Use a relative layout as its root layout container element.
3. Put Your Universal Image Loader Image first and TextView above to it
4. Create your own delegate/methods in your custom view that will pass ImageView to UIL and text to TextView.
5. Set visibility of element when images gets loaded. I hope UIL should have interfaces for
   that to notify client of image loading done state.

That should do what you want to achieve.

Hope it helps
