textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
textPaint.setTextSize(textSize);
StaticLayout mTextLayout = new StaticLayout(text, textPaint,
textWidth, Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL, 1.0f, 0.0f, false);

// Create bitmap and canvas to draw to
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(textWidth, mTextLayout.getHeight(), Config.RGB_565);
Canvas c = new Canvas(b);

// Draw background
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG
| Paint.LINEAR_TEXT_FLAG);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
c.drawPaint(paint);

// Draw text
c.save();
c.translate(0, 0);
mTextLayout.draw(c);
c.restore();

return b;
