android - canvas draw text- cant get strings -

string str = new string(); str = "111"; x = width / 2; y = math.round(height / 1.3);  while (pressed != true){     if (!holder.getsurface().isvalid())          continue;     canvas c = holder.lockcanvas();     c.drawbitmap(galaxy, 0, 0, null);     c.drawbitmap(player, x - (player.getwidth() / 2), y - (player.getheight() / 2), null);     c.drawtext("111", c.getwidth() / 12, c.getheight() / 15, timerpaint);      holder.unlockcanvasandpost(c); } 

i tried put str insted "111" in "drawtext" function, , didn't write anything, i'm not sure why.

thanks!

replace this:

string str = new string();  str = "111"; 

with this:

string str = " 111"; 

hope answer helps.
