Answer 1

I think you can try Use RelativeLayout

<RelativeLayout 
   .....
   .....>

     <ImageView 
           ..
           ../>

<Other layout like TextView>
</RelativeLayout>

And then Take screenshot

You can create a class extends Imageview,

and override onDraw method,

in that

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        Paint paint = new Paint(); 
        paint.setColor(Color.WHITE); 
        paint.setStyle(Style.FILL); 
        canvas.drawPaint(paint); 

        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK); 
        paint.setTextSize(20); 
        canvas.drawText("Some Text", 10, 25, paint);
}

put this method.

Try this one it return you bitmap with your text i just put code it may help you.

private BitmapDrawable writeTextOnDrawable(int drawableId, String text) {

        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), drawableId)
                .copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);

        Typeface tf = Typeface.create("Helvetica", Typeface.BOLD);

        Paint paint = new Paint();
        paint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
        paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        paint.setTypeface(tf);
        paint.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
        paint.setTextSize(convertToPixels(mContext, 11));

        Rect textRect = new Rect();
        paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), textRect);

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);

        //If the text is bigger than the canvas , reduce the font size
        if(textRect.width() >= (canvas.getWidth() - 4))     //the padding on either sides is considered as 4, so as to appropriately fit in the text
            paint.setTextSize(convertToPixels(mContext, 7));        //Scaling needs to be used for different dpi's

        //Calculate the positions
        int xPos = (canvas.getWidth() / 2) - 2;     //-2 is for regulating the x position offset

        //"- ((paint.descent() + paint.ascent()) / 2)" is the distance from the baseline to the center.
        int yPos = (int) ((canvas.getHeight() / 2) - ((paint.descent() + paint.ascent()) / 2)) ;  

        canvas.drawText(text, xPos, yPos, paint);

        return new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bm);
    }



    public static int convertToPixels(Context context, int nDP)
    {
        final float conversionScale = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;

        return (int) ((nDP * conversionScale) + 0.5f) ;

    }

If you do not want to create a layout then you can use a TextView and set the selected image to its background and write the text by setting its gravity else you can override the onDraw method of ImageView.
