Question

I want to add text in a circle or half circle programmatically, in such a way that instead of having a circle with line edges, the edges are the words. See image for a better explanation.

How can I do this in Android, or what resources could I read in order to help me with this problem?

Answer 1

In order to do this, you will need to draw your text onto a Canvas. Any subclass of View is passed a Canvas in onDraw() that you can use to draw your custom text. The method drawTextOnPath() lets you put text on any Path object you choose. You can create a semi-circle path by creating a new instance and using addArc().
