Draw multi-line text to Canvas

by

I found another way using static layouts. The code is here for anyone to refer to:

TextPaint mTextPaint=new TextPaint();
StaticLayout mTextLayout = new StaticLayout(mText, mTextPaint, canvas.getWidth(), Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL, 1.0f, 0.0f, false);

canvas.save();
// calculate x and y position where your text will be placed

textX = ...
textY = ...

canvas.translate(textX, textY);
mTextLayout.draw(canvas);
canvas.restore();
