VerticalTextView.java

public class VerticalTextView extends TextView {

 private int _width, _height;
 private final Rect _bounds = new Rect();

 public VerticalTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
  super(context, attrs, defStyle);
 }

 public VerticalTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
  super(context, attrs);
 }

 public VerticalTextView(Context context) {
  super(context);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
  super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
  // vise versa
  _height = getMeasuredWidth();
  _width = getMeasuredHeight();
  setMeasuredDimension(_width, _height);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
  canvas.save();

  canvas.translate(_width, _height);
  canvas.rotate(-90);

  TextPaint paint = getPaint();
  paint.setColor(getTextColors().getDefaultColor());

  String text = text();

  paint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), _bounds);
  canvas.drawText(text, getCompoundPaddingLeft(), (_bounds.height() - _width) / 2, paint);

  canvas.restore();
 }

 private String text() {
  return super.getText().toString();
 }
}

xml:

    <com.my.namespace.VerticalTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
        android:background="@color/feedback_background"
        android:padding="4dip"
        android:text="@string/feedback"
        android:textColor="@color/feedback_text_color"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_xlarge" />

PS: начиная с API11 никакого огорода городить не надо. Используем setRotation
