Finding coordinates of a character?
I have a multi-line TextView . Is there a way to get the x coordinate of the pixel to the left of a character e.g. the 3rd character? In my case it will always be the 3rd character, but a general solution would be nicer. I have the y coordinate of the pixel just above the character using: Layout textViewLay = mTextView.getLayout(); int posY = textViewLay.getLineTop(0); but the x coordinate has me stumped. Any ideas? I'm probably missing something really simple. Try to use this code: Rect bounds = new Rect(); Paint tpaint = textView.getPaint(); tpaint.getTextBounds(text,0,2,bounds); int height
