android - adding a String over a Drawable image?

Question

I\'m trying to add a String to a Drawable image. I\'m currently not using a Panel to draw and I\'d like to keep it that way. Any idea

Answer 1

Drawable image = getResources().getDrawable(tile_types[tileType]);
// Store our image size as a constant
final int IMAGE_WIDTH = image.getIntrinsicWidth();
final int IMAGE_HEIGHT = image.getIntrinsicHeight();

// You can also use Config.ARGB_4444 to conserve memory or ARGB_565 if 
// you don't have any transparency.
Bitmap canvasBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(IMAGE_WIDTH, 
                                          IMAGE_HEIGHT, 
                                          Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// Create a canvas, that will draw on to canvasBitmap. canvasBitmap is
// currently blank.
Canvas imageCanvas = new Canvas(canvasBitmap);
// Set up the paint for use with our Canvas
Paint imagePaint = new Paint();
imagePaint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
imagePaint.setTextSize(16f);

// Draw the image to our canvas
image.draw(imageCanvas);
// Draw the text on top of our image
imageCanvas.drawText("Sample Text", 
                         IMAGE_WIDTH / 2, 
                         IMAGE_HEIGHT / 2, 
                         imagePaint);
// This is the final image that you can use 
BitmapDrawable finalImage = new BitmapDrawable(canvasBitmap);
