How to Rotate TextView 90 Degrees and display

The fastest and most convenient way is to Rotate by Animation

use rotate animation on your regular TextView like so.

rotateAnimation.xml:

<rotate  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
           android:fromDegrees="0" 
           android:toDegrees="-90"
           android:pivotX="50%"
           android:duration="0"
           android:fillAfter="true" />

Java Code:

  TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtview);       
  text.setText("rotated text here");

  RotateAnimation rotate= (RotateAnimation)AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.rotateAnimation);
  text.setAnimation(rotate);

Rotate total Textview in -90 degrees

for a vertical TextView i used the following code and it worked perfectly.

public class VerticleTextView extends TextView {

final boolean topDown;
public VerticleTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
    super(context, attrs);
    final int gravity = getGravity();
    if(Gravity.isVertical(gravity) && (gravity&Gravity.VERTICAL_GRAVITY_MASK) == Gravity.BOTTOM) {
       setGravity((gravity&Gravity.HORIZONTAL_GRAVITY_MASK) | Gravity.TOP);
       topDown = false;
    }else
       topDown = true;
 }

 @Override
 protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
    super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
    setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredHeight(), getMeasuredWidth());
 }

 @Override
 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
    TextPaint textPaint = getPaint(); 
    textPaint.setColor(getCurrentTextColor());
    textPaint.drawableState = getDrawableState();

    canvas.save();

    if(topDown){
       canvas.translate(getWidth(), 0);
       canvas.rotate(90);
    }else {
       canvas.translate(0, getHeight());
       canvas.rotate(-90);
    }

    canvas.translate(getCompoundPaddingLeft(), getExtendedPaddingTop());

    getLayout().draw(canvas);
    canvas.restore();
}
}
