Edit... I'm going to try explain this better.

At the moment Im working with

canvas.drawtext(text, x, you, paint)

I want to align these strings if I can next to each other so they make a sentence, or have a string with say "Iike cheese" and print it on canvas.

I'm struggling to find the solution.

Html doesn't work.

@Aaron what do you mean by a container exactly? – Scott Chambers Jul 10 '17 at 08:17
@ScottChambers I missed the "Android" in the title, I added in the tags to give your question more visibility to people able to answer it. I don't think my previous comments apply to android development. – Aaron Jul 10 '17 at 08:28

I did say in my question that Spannable string didn't work. – Scott Chambers Jul 10 '17 at 13:04
@sarthak Gandhi and how do I call that SpannableString in a canvas.drawtext? – Scott Chambers Jul 11 '17 at 06:11
