Layout problem with Android: rotated TextView

Question

I'm building an Android app on which I have to represent data in a Table-like format.
So I'm using TableLayout. The problem is that I have to draw a rotated string like in the following raw example:

How can I create my layout to be able to show the '2011' rotated?

Answer 1

Extend the TextView class and override the onDraw method.

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
     canvas.save();
     canvas.rotate(90, xPivot, yPivot);
     super.onDraw(canvas);
     canvas.restore();

}
