I am new to android watch face development and facing some problem with alignment of time text! I am displaying time in two format, How can I display it one at top and one at bottom and center aligned as shown in image below? Is there any pattern or layout for this?
It's up to you to figure out the alignment yourself when calling Canvas.drawText in your onDraw handler. I use code something like this:
String msg = "Text to display";
float width = paint.measureText(msg);
canvas.drawText(msg, centerX - width / 2f, top, paint);
where paint, top, and centerX were all initialized previously. The first two will depend on your face design, while the third is a Point field that can be set in your onCreate handler like so:
Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE))
.getDefaultDisplay();
display.getSize(displaySize);
centerX = displaySize.x / 2f;
Alternately, you could do all of this in XML with a layout-based watch face, but this may or may not be a good fit for your needs.
