How to find the exact pixel center of a String? I need this for drawing onto a canvas.
SOLVED
float ty = ((-mTextBrush.ascent() + mTextBrush.descent())/4);
Add this value to the y axis when you draw.
ie.
canvas.drawText(text, cx, cy+ty, mTextBrush);
where cx and xy are your center points
Use the paint.measureText( "String" ), it will give the number of pixels required to display the string.
It's not the answer but probably can solve your problem.
Paint has setTextAlign method. If you set
paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
drawText(text, x, y, paint) will paint text with the (x,y) in the center.
