hi, many posts are found according to the topic "screenshot a TextView into a Bitmap".
Well, the difference to my problem is, that first the view is drawn on the display (with all layouting and measuring work already done) and then drawn into a Canvas connected to a Bitmap. I just want to create a TextView from scratch without ever beeing shown on the display which is rendered into a Bitmap. --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- This one is the basis configuration which is already workin. A click on the TextView draws itself into a Bitmap and sets it to an ImageView. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#fff"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog." android:textSize="20dip" android:background="#abcdef" android:textColor="#000" android:padding="10dip" android:layout_margin="10dip" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/iv" android:layout_width="449px" android:layout_height="47px" android:background="#56789a" android:layout_margin="10dip" /> </LinearLayout> public class WorkingActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); findViewById(R.id.tv).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(449, 47, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp); v.draw(canvas); ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv); iv.setImageBitmap(bmp); } }); } } --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- Now comes the problematic part. I will create a TextView in Java and I want this one to be drawn straight into a Bitmap. After this I will set this to an ImageView. I never got this running :( Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(449, 47, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG"); tv.setTextSize(55f); tv.setTextColor(this.getResources().getColor(android.R.color.black)); tv.draw(canvas); ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.iv); iv.setImageBitmap(bmp); This doesn't work neither in onCreate nor in a OnClickListener. Experimenting with setDrawingCacheEnabled(), measure() and requestLayout() didn't work, too... Can you help me please on this?
