Question

I am using below code to set text on the canvas..But now i want to know how to set the position of the text at the bottom of the layout..

    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getContext());
    TextView textView = new TextView(getContext()); 
    textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    textView.setText(DetailsActivity.temp_desc);
    textView.setLines(10);
    textView.setSingleLine(false);
    layout.addView(textView);
    layout.measure(canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
    layout.layout(0,100, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());

Using this code i am getting text on position of (0,0) but i want to set it to (0,400) how can i achieve my requirement?

here is two sample code for draw text on canvas..

1)Draw TextView on Canvas

TextView textView = new TextView(getContext()); 

textView.setText(DetailsActivity.temp_desc);
textView.setMinLines(1);

canvas.translate(0,bitmap.getHeight());
textView.layout(0, 0, 500, 150);
textView.draw(canvas);

canvas.drawText("Value",x_position, y_position, your paint object);
