Create text Stroke for UILabel iphone



I was wondering how can I create text stroke for UILabel in iOS4 ? I need some suggestion . I want something like this :





alt text





EDITED :







UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:222];

CGPoint point = CGPointMake(0,0);



CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();



CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7);

CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 2, 2, 2, 1.0);

CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFillStroke);

CGContextSaveGState(context);



// I change it to my outlet

[label.text drawAtPoint:point withFont:font];



CGContextRestoreGState(context);

  1. UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:14];
    CGPoint point = CGPointMake(0,0);

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7);
    CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFillStroke);
    CGContextSaveGState(context);
    [@"Label" drawAtPoint:point withFont:font];

    CGContextRestoreGState(context);


    you can look here:

    and in the example code here:

  2. Well, if you want to draw a text in a label with a custom font, like CGFontRef, it is not quite simple. I have googled a little and found a solution for you which implies you to inherit UILabel class and rewrite drawTextInRect method for this. All the necessary information for you is here.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
