How can i use canvas drawtext with multiline ?

You must use the CRLF character in your string to force a next line.

txt = "This is the first line." & CRLF & "This is the second line." & CRLF & "This is the third line."
Canvas1.DrawText(txt, ....

I use

txtbtnbattery = "Battery," & CRLF & "Time and Date"
Canv.DrawText(txtbtnbattery, 120, 623, Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, 18, Colors.White, "CENTER")

and is not working. Is on o single line and CRLF is a little square.

Canvas.DrawText() is single line only. You must handle the multiline draw for yourself.

Sorry, I thought that it should work.
So, unfortunately, you need to draw each line.

Yes, i drawn each line and is ok.
