onTouchEvent on Path

I figured out that the width of the RectF is 0.0 so thats why it is always false. So can I set the width of the RectF width the StrokeWidth?
I have a path. And I want to handle clicks on it.
So I found out I can check that with an onTouchEvent.
So in the OnDraw() Method I draw a path and add the bounds to a rectF where I can get the left, right, top, bottom in the onTouchEvent correctly I guess.
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class PathTest extends View {
Paint paint;
Path path;
RectF rectF = new RectF();
public PathTest(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public PathTest(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public PathTest(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init();
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
path.moveTo((float)getWidth()/2,getHeight()-20);
path.lineTo((float)getWidth()/2,20);
path.close();
path.computeBounds(rectF,true);
canvas.drawPath(path,paint);
}
private void init(){
paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
paint.setStrokeWidth(100);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
path = new Path();
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(width,height/2);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
if(rectF.contains(event.getX(),event.getY())){
Log.d("HALLO","HI");
}else{
Log.d("HALLO","left"+rectF.left+" top"+rectF.top+" right"+rectF.right+" bottom"+rectF.bottom + " x->"+event.getX()+" y->"+event.getY());
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}
It is always the else. I don't know why.
So I log the rectF Coordinates and the MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN event.
D/HALLO: left540.0 top20.0 right540.0 bottom2240.0 x->528.0 y->490.0
D/HALLO: left540.0 top20.0 right540.0 bottom2240.0 x->1047.0 y->1021.0
D/HALLO: left540.0 top20.0 right540.0 bottom2240.0 x->1016.0 y->961.0
D/HALLO: left540.0 top20.0 right540.0 bottom2240.0 x->1059.0 y->1062.0```

Hexagon shaped ProgressBar

I am trying to make a game where a user gains experience points and his level increases as shown in the image below.
I was thinking of achieving this with the use of progress bar,but I am not able to make a progress bar with the shape of a Hexagon.
The yellow line should increase as the users points increase.
Can anyone give me ideas on how I can achieve this??(I tried Custom ProgressBar,but it did not work.)
Thanks.

I managed to change the code that Nilesh mentioned and made a progressbar which did not have any curves.
This works fine for me.
Now I just have to figure out how to insert the image inside the progressbar. :p

Canvas draw black screen before touch

I want to draw black dots when I touch the screen and its work, but when I start the activity for the first time the screen is black and after the touch is going white.I want to be white from the beggining. How can I fix it? Here is my code:
package com.inveitix.android.clue.ui.views;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Point;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.Display;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.WindowManager;
/**

*/
public class DrawingView extends SurfaceView {
private final Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
Canvas canvas;
int width;
int height;
private SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
private WindowManager wm;
public DrawingView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public DrawingView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public DrawingView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init();
}
private void init() {
surfaceHolder = getHolder();
wm = (WindowManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
getScreenSize();
}
private void getScreenSize() {
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
width = size.x;
height = size.y;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
if (surfaceHolder.getSurface().isValid()) {
canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.drawCircle(event.getX(), event.getY(), 10, paint);
surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
}
return false;
}
}

In your init method add:
holder.addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
canvas = holder.lockCanvas();
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
}
});

change this
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
to
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);

in your init() put this
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);

Android- Using SurfaceView is incredibly laggy

In my app I have a simple animation where a small bitmap moves across the screen. I have used a surface view to achieve this, but the bitmap moves very laggily, or not at all on some of the emulated devices.From my understanding , this could be because of everything running on the UI thread, but after following an example, I believe I'm using two threads (not 100% sure) I have tried looking into Asynctasks to fix this, but can't seem to figure out how to apply it to what I have.
Here is my code:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.WindowManager;
public class MySurface extends SurfaceView implements Runnable {
SurfaceHolder ourHolder;
Thread ourThread = null;
boolean isRunning = true;
Bitmap background;
Bitmap clouda;
float cloudax;
public MySurface(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context);
}
public MySurface(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context);
}
public MySurface(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(context);
}
private void init(Context context) {
// do stuff that was in your original constructor...
ourHolder = getHolder();
ourThread = new Thread(this);
ourThread.start();
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
int screenHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
int screenWidth = metrics.widthPixels;
background = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.island);
clouda = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.clouda);
cloudax = screenWidth;
}
public void pause(){
isRunning = false;
ourThread.interrupt();
ourThread = null;
}
public void resume(){
isRunning = true;
}
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
while(isRunning){
if (!ourHolder.getSurface().isValid())
continue;
Canvas canvas = ourHolder.lockCanvas();
Rect drawableRect = new Rect(0, 0, background.getWidth(), background.getHeight());
RectF viewRect = new RectF(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
canvas.drawBitmap(background, drawableRect, viewRect, null);
canvas.drawBitmap(clouda, cloudax, (getWidth()/2), null);
if (cloudax > -276) {
cloudax -= 10;
}else{
cloudax = getWidth();
}
ourHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
}
}

Android:How to add a button in surface view

I'm drawing some graphics and i would like to add a couple of buttons to it. But with the surface view how do we add these buttons programatically ?

Enclose your surfaceView with a FrameLayout in your xml Layout. Then add your buttons to the same FrameLayout. Make sure they are placed below the surface view so they get drawn on top of it. (Might be a good idea to bundle them in another Layout and add that to the FrameLayout.)
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<SurfaceView android:id="#+id/surfaceView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></SurfaceView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button android:text="Button" android:id="#+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
<Button android:text="Button" android:id="#+id/button2" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Thank you so much Androidica..
Your xml has helped me to figure out the following solution programatically without using any xml..
public class LudoActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
FrameLayout game = new FrameLayout(this);
GameView gameView = new GameView (this);
LinearLayout gameWidgets = new LinearLayout (this);
Button endGameButton = new Button(this);
TextView myText = new TextView(this);
endGameButton.setWidth(300);
endGameButton.setText("Start Game");
myText.setText("rIZ..i");
gameWidgets.addView(myText);
gameWidgets.addView(endGameButton);
game.addView(gameView);
game.addView(gameWidgets);
setContentView(game);
endGameButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, LudoActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
// re-starts this activity from game-view. add this.finish(); to remove from stack
}
}
while GameView is;
public class GameView extends SurfaceView {
public GameView(Context context) {
super(context);
/*
* your code
*/
}
}

Make your own button:
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Matrix;
import android.graphics.RectF;
public class GButton
{
public Matrix btn_matrix = new Matrix();
public RectF btn_rect;
float width;
float height;
Bitmap bg;
public GButton(float width, float height, Bitmap bg)
{
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.bg = bg;
btn_rect = new RectF(0, 0, width, height);
}
public void setPosition(float x, float y)
{
btn_matrix.setTranslate(x, y);
btn_matrix.mapRect(btn_rect);
}
public void draw(Canvas canvas)
{
canvas.drawBitmap(bg, btn_matrix, null);
}
}
on touch event:
float x = ev.getX();
float y = ev.getY();
if (my_button.btn_rect.contains(x, y))
{
// handle on touch here
}
alternatively, even better, if you want to also rotate the button it will not be axis-aligned, then use the invert matrix, instead of mapRect map the touch points x,y:
float pts[] = {x, y};
my_button.invert_matrix.mapPoints(pts);
if (my_button.btn_rect.contains(pts[0], pts[1])
{
// handle on touch here
}

We can use frame layout for surface view drawing very easily .
like this
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="430dp"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#c2300f">
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonColor"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Color" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And Main activity is
package com.example.surfacetuto;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Point;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
DrawingSurface ds;
FrameLayout frm;
Button btnC;
int color=0xfff00000;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ds=new DrawingSurface(this);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
frm=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frameLayout);
frm.addView(ds);
btnC=(Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonColor);
btnC.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.buttonColor:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Color", 2).show();
ds.colorNew();
break;
