Hi,
I'd like to know how to show text on a white background (canvas). For example, I set the canvas

import appuifw, e32
import graphics

def redraw(rect):
canvas.clear(0xffffff)

canvas = appuifw.Canvas(redraw_callback=redraw)
appuifw.app.body = canvas
appuifw.app.screen = 'full'
e32.ao_sleep(20)
e32.reset_inactivity()

and I want to display a message on the white background. What function do I use and where do I put it?
Thank you.

You can use the canvas.text((left, top), message) method after canvas.clear(0xffffff)

where left and top are coordinates like (0, 12) and message is a unicode string
