how to get string width and heigth in android?????

snowtiger that is for the display area not some text string.

To get string width you can use paint.measureText(string), see http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... ang.String)

For height I use paint.getFontSpacing() although it doesn't give you the exact height of the text just the recommended spacing, http://code.google.com/android/referenc ... ntSpacing()
