Question

i am trying to show an image directly under a text which i had retrieved from a file in the sdcard but only the text is showing but not the image,

have been trying several methods but non of it is workable

below is my code to display them

//Find the directory for the SD Card using the API
    //*Don't* hardcode "/sdcard"
    File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

    //Get the text file
    File file = new File(sdcard,"file.txt");

    //Read text from file
    StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();

    try {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        String line;

        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            text.append(line);
            text.append('\n');
        }
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        //You'll need to add proper error handling here
    }

    //Find the view by its id
    TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);

    //Set the text
    tv.setText(text);

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.icon);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 130, 10, null);

Answer 1

Well, I don’t see anywhere in your code where you are trying to set the bitmap. Whatever, what about using compounds drawables?

//Find the view by its id
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);

//Set the text
tv.setText(text);

tv.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null,
   null, null, getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon));
