Vertical (rotated) label in Android

Question

I need 2 ways of showing vertical label in Android:

1. Horizontal label turned 90 degrees counterclockwise (letters on the side)
2. Horizontal label with l

Answer 1

check = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.check);
check.setRotation(-90);

This worked for me, just fine. As for the vertically going down letters - I dont' know.
