How to write textviews horizontally for Android Application development?

I am stucked at a point on my application development. My intention is to display the textviews horizontally which will consist of some strings and I want to display them letter by letter from up to down. Let me give an example ;

T E X T V I E W
E D F O I Q L O
X I A Y E   E L
A N C O N   P F
S B T T A   H
  U O A     A
  R R       N
  G         T

As you see my strings are TEXAS , EDINBURG , etc. I set these strings to textviews. On the other hand , using textviews for such task may not be good and there may be some other alternatives for this, I am open to new ideas. Since i am not well experienced I could not figure out any other solutions. I tried with horizontal orientation but couldn't manage to display letter by letter. Does anyone have an idea or experience about this concept ? By the way I am using ECLIPSE- ADT.
