It is possible to do this in XML as of API 11 (Android 3.0). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3774770/sideways-view-with-xml-android — chobok, Aug 17 '13 at 06:22

for a vertical TextView i used the following code and it worked perfectly.

public class VerticleTextView extends TextView {

final boolean topDown;
public VerticleTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
    super(context, attrs);
    final int gravity = getGravity();
    if(Gravity.isVertical(gravity) && (gravity&Gravity.VERTICAL_GRAVITY_MASK) == Gravity.BOTTOM) {
       setGravity((gravity&Gravity.HORIZONTAL_GRAVITY_MASK) | Gravity.TOP);
       topDown = false;
    }else
       topDown = true;
 }

 @Override
 protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
    super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
    setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredHeight(), getMeasuredWidth());
 }

 @Override
 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
    TextPaint textPaint = getPaint(); 
    textPaint.setColor(getCurrentTextColor());
    textPaint.drawableState = getDrawableState();

    canvas.save();

    if(topDown){
       canvas.translate(getWidth(), 0);
       canvas.rotate(90);
    }else {
       canvas.translate(0, getHeight());
       canvas.rotate(-90);
    }


    canvas.translate(getCompoundPaddingLeft(), getExtendedPaddingTop());

    getLayout().draw(canvas);
    canvas.restore();
}
}

i need -90 degrees but it shows 90 degrees. when i changed it to -90 it wont show any result. — user484848, Oct 11 '12 at 07:40
if you really found this helpful then appreciate by accepting answer...:) — Umar Qureshi, Oct 11 '12 at 07:56
This only rotates the text. What about the background of the text? When I applied this code, it showed the text on top of not rotated background. — tasomaniac, Nov 26 '13 at 14:17

you should use 270 instead of -90. this will work perfectly.
