Have can I arrange vertically the text of the TextView.Just like the follow picture,sorry,I am no allow to posting my image!

Answer 1

 <TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:text="a\nn\nd\nr\no\ni\nd" />

Try this. put \n after each character.

Answer 2

You can override setText method of the TextView, and can insert \n between each character. As following example:

public void setText(CharSequence str)
{
    StringBuffer buffer=new StringBuffer();
    for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
    {
          buffer.append(str.charAt(i));
          buffer.append("\n");
     }
     buffer.setLength(buffer.length()-1);
     super.setText(buffer.toString());
}

Answer 3

solution given by others are absolutely perfect but there is a other way

 <TextView
    android:layout_width="2sp"   /* width of one character width*/
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:text="a\nn\nd\nr\no\ni\nd" 
    android:singleLine="false"
    />
