Hi Support Team

There is a requiremrnt in our project for customization in subtitle view

We have tried to do customization in sample code : [bitmovin-player-android-samples/CustomUiSubtitleViewKotlin at main · bitmovin/bitmovin-player-android-samples · GitHub](https://github.com/bitmovin/bitmovin-player-android-samples/tree/main/CustomUiSubtitleViewKotlin)

We have used the CaptionStyle for setting font and other stubs .

val subtitleView =  
SubtitleView(context).apply {  
layoutParams =  
ViewGroup.LayoutParams(  
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH\_PARENT,  
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH\_PARENT,  
)  
keepScreenOn = true  
isEnabled = false  
focusable = View.NOT\_FOCUSABLE  
}  
subtitleView.setPlayer(player)  
try {  
val captionStyle =  
CaptionStyle(  
foregroundColor = 0xFF93C47D.toInt(), // ARGB format  
backgroundColor = 0x7F000000, // Semi-transparent black background color (ARGB format)  
windowColor = 0xFFbafc03.toInt(), // Black window color (ARGB format)  
edgeType = CaptioningManager.CaptionStyle.EDGE\_TYPE\_OUTLINE, // Outline edge type  
edgeColor = Color.BLACK, // Black edge color  
typeface = Typeface.DEFAULT\_BOLD, // Bold typeface  
)

```
        subtitleView.setStyle(captionStyle)
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        Log.e("GHGHGH", "exception" + e)
    }
    return subtitleView

```

I am able to change font type face and other stubs related to subtitle

**but not able to change the location of subtitle**

its always on top of the screen .

Type of Subtitle the stream have : ttml+xml

Please support me how I can set the position of text in subtitle view from application end
