Hello,

You can use a drawable background (with an android:shape="oval"), and use this drawable as the background for your TextView

Best regards,

You can use canvas.drawText()

You pass in your text along with x and y coordinates and a paint object. You define your typeface and size in the paint object.

May I also add that you need to use Paint.measureText(String txt) to measure the width of the text and Paint.getFontMetrics() to measure the height:

FontMetricsInt fm = paint.getFontMetricsInt();
int lineHeight = -fm.top + fm.bottom;
