I have an android application in which I need to download text from a website, convert it into bitmap format and display it on an LED-based display board.
I am struggling with the bitmap conversion.
Tried to use the following:
Bitmap mybitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(100, 16, Bitmap.Config.ALPHA_8);
Canvas c = new Canvas(mybitmap);
c.drawText("0", 0, 0, paint);
But it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions?
Update:
Paint object is initialized like this:
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
paint.setTextSize(16);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);
