Big text in Android

I am trying to resize text in android to make it bigger using;

Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setTextSize(30);
canvas.drawText("Text goes here" , x, y,paint);

However the text gets pixelated.

Is there any other way of resizing text in android without it being ugly and pixelated?

Solution

  • Have you tried Paint.setAntiAlias(true) to turn on anti-aliasing? Paint.setSubpixelText(true) might also help.
