Android Text over image

Question

I have an imageView with an image, over that image I want to place a text. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

You could possibly

• make a new class inherited from the Class ImageView and
• override the Method onDraw. Call super.onDraw() in that method first and
• then draw some Text you want to display.

if you do it that way, you can use this as a single Layout Component which makes it easier to layout together with other components.
