        setIncludeFontPadding(false); //remove the font padding
        setGravity(getGravity() | Gravity.TOP);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        TextPaint textPaint = getPaint();
        textPaint.setColor(getCurrentTextColor());
        textPaint.drawableState = getDrawableState();
        canvas.save();

        //remove extra font padding
        int yOffset = getHeight() - getBaseline();
        canvas.translate(0, - yOffset / 2);

        if (getLayout() != null) {
            getLayout().draw(canvas);
        }
        canvas.restore();
    }
