Centering text onto an image.

Question

How do you do it?
For example
g.drawImage(image, x, y, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
g.drawString("text", x, y, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.BOTTOM);does not work, I could try all different variations of positions; Top, Bottom, Vcenter, Hcenter for both graphics and text and the text still won't center onto the image, absolutely centered.
Of course if Vcenter would work for text it'd probably do the job but that of course isn't allowed, in order for me to work around this at the moment I have to add a number to drawstring which looks like this.
g.drawString("text", x, y+textAdjust, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.BOTTOM);Of course this is useless if ported onto another phone with a different screen size.
Any help would be apreciated thanks.

Answer 1

Though before I go changing every image in my code (It's a lot of images), is there no way to just alter text placement or does it have to be the background image to fit the text?Not sure what you mean here... What do you mean by changing every image?
This simple calculation I have pasted in my previous post lets you position both text and image, so that their centers are aligned, which I think is what you want to achieve.
All you have to do is to establish the height of the image and the height of the text every time you paint them, which is just a matter of calling some APIs.
