hello, i’m new in corona and trying to show some texts on screen. this code works fine in corona simulator, but when i install apk on android device fonts are not on that coordinate, i guess x begins from -200,-300… and y too… here’s the code;

some_text[1]=“test-1”
some_text[2]=“test-1”
some_text[3]=“test-1”

local myText = display.newText(some_text[1],20, 150, 340, 600, native.systemFont, 17)
myText:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)

i’m testing on htc sense android 4.0.3

what am i doing wrong? many thanks [import]uid: 169035 topic_id: 29528 reply_id: 329528[/import]

Hello I to am having text display problems. I used local textMessage = display.newText( “Hello Corona User!nHope you’re having a great day.”, 25, 25, “Helvetica”, 18 )
textMessage:setTextColor( 0 ) to wrap the text to the next line but its not working. any ideas?

ok, after 1 day i guess i’ve solved the problem by groupping the text. Here’s the working code;

local group1 = display.newGroup()
group2.x=10;
group2.y=180;

some_text[1]=“test-1”

local myText = display.newText(some_text[1],0, 0, 320, 300, native.systemFont, 17)
myText:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)

group1:insert( myText)

but still not sure how it works in other android versions? any idea? [import]uid: 169035 topic_id: 29528 reply_id: 118654[/import]
