How to set the co-ordinate of baseline of edittext in android

Question

I have my co-ordinates of baseline where I want to write my text in android. How to place my text on that baseline co-ordinates. I know how to setX() and setY() functions but they set the X and Y position of top left corner of edit text. I want to write on the baseline, if baseline of co-ordinates are present.

Answer 1

Just adjust your co-ordinates to compensate for the top/left position.

 float adjustedY  = (float) y - myEditText.getMeasuredHeight();
 myEditText.setY(adjustedY);
