Hi, The measure functions are in Paint. The scale functions are in Canvas. So I can only measure text without any scale. And if I measure the width and height of some text and want to draw a rectangle around it and want to use the scale of canvas for zooming. On some zooms the text is a little narrower and on some zooms it is a little wider. That is why I wrote the above function because I supposed that if canvas have scale it apply scale on font size and then draw the text with scaled font size.
Please try to understand the log in the previous message. It is a little strange that on closer scale levels the measured width is the same. And finally it is working as I expected on Android below 4.0. Why it is not working on 4.0? What is the difference?
