Using Xml:

<TextView 
        ...
        android:rotation="45" />

Using Code:

myTextView.setRotation(45f);

For API 10 and below, must be done through code:

RotateAnimation animation = new RotateAnimation(45f, 45f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
animation.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
animation.setDuration(1);
animation.setFillAfter(true);
myTextView.startAnimation(animation);

This is a very similar question to a previous post. Check out the accepted answer here: android text view text in vertical direction

I don't believe there's an "easy" way to do it without some customization of the textview class.
