    Using Visual Studio Community 2017.

    Have a LinearLayout whose child is a TextView.

    TextView should contain text rotated 270 degrees.

    Want to center that text.

    Done this through AXML but need to do it programmatically using C# as the text inside the Textview is dynamically generated.

    Anyone?

    Thanks in advance.

    hello u0107,

    I'm confused about  your program type, Maybe you should tell me more information about your program , xamarin , uwp and others . and you should consider to post a new thread to their forums for a suitable support.

    Best regards,

    Hello feih_7,

    Thank you for responding.

    I use C# for developing an Mobile App - of which my first hurdle is to create an Android App.

    I do not use Xamarin or uwp or others - it is pure C# code.

    The UI skeleton is created using axml - and on that I add programmatically additional objects.

    One of the objects is a single row with some 100 columns, 40 pixels wide and 160 pixels high.  In each of these cells I have 8 characters - something like "08:15 PM" which are vertical (rotated 270).

    My challenge is that this  "08:15 PM" is aligned to the bottom so much so that the initial 0 is truncated.

    Hope this explains.

    Thank you for trying to help me.

    Best.

    Humm... I think you can refer to this StackOverflow thread.

    Sure this is Java not C#, but knowing that after you compile your project, it'll be compiled to equivalent Java classes, you'll understand you should just use the same approach you see in Java version.
