Hi, I have this method (setText) that creates mTextBitmap with very ugly, blurry and bloated text on it. It is supposed to create nice and neat image with font on it. Any suggestions on where I might be wrong?

Code: Select all

public void setText(String string) {
   final Paint textPaint = new Paint();
   textPaint.setAntiAlias(true);      
   textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
   textPaint.setTextSize(32);
   textPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
   final Bitmap textBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(256, 256, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
   Canvas textCanvas = new Canvas(textBitmap);
   textCanvas.drawText(string, 0, 128, textPaint);
   mTextBitmap = textBitmap;      
}


Can you post a screen-shot of your output? Anti alias set to true would give a smudged text, if the font size is very small. Did you try setting anti alias false?

Code: Select all

textPaint.setAntiAlias(false);
