How to change orientation of a view (control)

[dieterth]

Hello,

how can I change the orientation of e.g. a single button by 90, 180 or 270 degrees? I didn't find any function or attribute, either in the designer. Is there a lib or a trick to do this?

Regards
Dieter

You can use Canvas.DrawDrawableRotate to imitate a rotated view.

I believe you will have to create a bitmap image of the button with the proper text you want already included on the bitmap image, then use StatelistDrawable to assign it to the button.

Thanks for the tips. Now I'm able to rotate the background of the button, but I didn't succeed to create a bitmap of the complete button, including its text.

Do you have a tip?

Regards

if the button is square how can you tell if it rotated? If it is a rectangle just change the width and height to match the rotated graphic.
