Just watching on StackOverflow and found this interesting question: How to write curve text?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

package pete.android.study;   import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.Path;   import android.graphics.RectF; import android.view.View;   public class GraphicsView extends View {     private static final String MY_TEXT = "xjaphx: Draw Text on Curve";     private Path mArc;       private Paint mPaintText;       public GraphicsView(Context context) {       super(context);         mArc = new Path();       RectF oval = new RectF(50,100,200,250);;       mArc.addArc(oval, -180, 200);       mPaintText = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);       mPaintText.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);       mPaintText.setColor(Color.WHITE);       mPaintText.setTextSize(20f);       }       @Override     protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {       canvas.drawTextOnPath(MY_TEXT, mArc, 0, 20, mPaintText);       invalidate();     }   }

Enjoy painting Android
