How should you use ShapeDrawable with PathShape to draw a string in a custom view?

I am trying to make a string in custom View. Here I created a simple Pathone with only one segment, created from it PathShapeand finally put it in ShapeDrawablewith the intention of using it to draw Canvasinside onDraw(), however this does not work. See my example here.

package com.example.test;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.drawable.ShapeDrawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.PathShape;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;

public class TestView extends View {

    private Path mPath = null;
    private Paint mPaint = null;
    private PathShape mPathShape = null;
    private ShapeDrawable mShapeDrawable = null;

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

    private void init() {
        int width = this.getWidth() / 2;
        int height = this.getHeight() / 2;

        Log.d("init", String.format("width: %d; height: %d", width, height));

        this.mPath = new Path();
        this.mPath.moveTo(0, 0);
        this.mPath.lineTo(width, height);

        this.mPaint = new Paint();
        this.mPaint.setColor(Color.RED);

        this.mPathShape = new PathShape(this.mPath, 1, 1);

        this.mShapeDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(this.mPathShape);
        this.mShapeDrawable.getPaint().set(this.mPaint);
        this.mShapeDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);

        // Doing this here because in the constructor we don't have the width and height of the view, yet
        this.init();
    }

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

        Log.d("onDraw", "Drawing");

        // This works, but won't let me do what I'm really trying to do
        canvas.drawLine(0.0f, 0.0f, this.getWidth() / 2.0f, this.getHeight() / 2.0f, this.mPaint);

        // This should work, but does not
        //this.mPathShape.draw(canvas, this.mPaint);

        // This should work, but does not
        //this.mShapeDrawable.draw(canvas);
    }

}

As you can see from my comments in the method onDraw(), using PathShapeand ShapeDrawablefor drawing Pathon Canvasdoes work. When I try, nothing is drawn. Does anyone know why?

The device I'm testing this on is running Android 4.1.1.
