Canvas drawtext positioning

Question

I am creating a drawing tool, where user add text to image. While making the text draw to bitmap via canvas position is not being set properly.

Paint paint = new Paint();
        paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
        paint.setColor(Color.RED);
        paint.setTypeface(tf);
        paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);

        paint.setTextSize(30);



int xPos = layoutTextViewContainer.getLeft();
        int yPos = layoutTextViewContainer.getTop();
        canvas.drawText(text, xPos, yPos, paint);

Paint

Rect textRect = new Rect();
        paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), textRect);
        textRect.offset(0, -textRect.top);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);

layoutTextViewContainer holds the edit text. Screen shot for more clarification. Black text is written and Red text is preview of embed in image

Answer 1

Got the solution. the values should be pixel independent convert xPos and yPos as below before passing to drawText

 xPos = (int) (xPos / getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
    yPos = (int) (yPos / getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
