    text
    <p>I have in application that makes use of a custom View component that drawas some text onto the screen via Paint/Canvas.</p> <p>I am using the following code (before I call canvas.drawText()) to make my text Italic:</p> <pre><code>mPaintText.setTypeface(Typeface.defaultFromStyle(Typeface.ITALIC)); </code></pre> <p>This works on Samsung Galaxy Nexus. But on Samsung Epic 4g (galaxy S), Samsung Epic Touch (Galaxy SII), and Samsung Transform ultra my text is still non-italic. </p> <p>Does anyone know why some of these samsung devices wouldn't support setting italic text that way? I know the devices are capable of rendering the italic text because if I have a TextView I can use either</p> <pre><code>tv.setText(Html.fromHtml("&lt;i&gt;sometext&lt;/i&gt;"); </code></pre> <p>in java or</p> <pre><code>android:textStyle="italic" </code></pre> <p>in layout.xml and my text appears italic.</p> <p>Does anyone know of another way that I can set the drawText() method of canvas to draw the text italicized that might work on these devices?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> </p> <p>Here is a list of some ways I've tried it with their outcome in comments after. Turns out SERIF seems to be the only font that it works on.</p> <pre><code>mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.ITALIC) //Nothing mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, Typeface.ITALIC) //Nothing mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.SERIF, Typeface.ITALIC) //omg it is italic...But serifs look gross. mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.SANS_SERIF, Typeface.ITALIC) //Nothing mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.MONOSPACE, Typeface.ITALIC) //Changes font, but still no italic. mPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC) //Bold but no italic </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT AGAIN:</strong> To make this function I ended up adding the italic version of the roboto font to my assets folder and applied it as a font. I'd still be interested if anyone ever finds a way to get it working without adding it this way. </p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
