How can I make the background of my custom brush transparent?

I wanted to draw on the canvas with the code below with my custom brush, but as you can see in the picture, the background of my brush is black, albeit without color.
Although I specified the brush color as Color.TRANSPARENT or Color.parseColor ("# 00000000"), the brush background still turns black.
How can I make the background color of my brush transparent?

The reason it happens is because Paint doesn't have an alpha composing mode set by default. Thus, when you're trying to paint a bitmap over your canvas it will replace the destination pixels with your brush pixels, which in your case is #00000000. And that will result in pixel being displayed as black. Have a look into this documentation: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/PorterDuff.Mode
By the first glance it seems you're looking for PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_OVER or PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP - this way transparent pixels from your source image (your brush) will not over-draw the pixels from your destination (canvas). In case your background is always non-transparent, you will see no difference between SRC_OVER and SRC_ATOP, but if it isn't - choose the one which fits your needs. Then you can modify setupPathAndPaint method by adding this line to its end:
mDrawPaint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_OVER));

How to create scratch card which allows user to scratch only once

This code is working, I created Scratch image view through which I can scratch the image view to see the the image, but scratch image view is automatically filling with scratch pattern when I reopen the app or I move to previous activity.only once the user should scratch the image view to view image and it should not fill again when I reopen the app or move to previous activity .Can anyone help me

What you can do is store into Firebase a variable like isScratched = 1 or 0, if it's 1 it's because the user didn't scratch it yet. If the user scratch it that variable will be 0 and then in onStart you put a listener of Firebase database, if the listener finds out the value is 0 the scratch card will not be available.
I will show you some snippet here
private DatabaseReference mDatabase; //First declare your database reference
Then in init() or onCreate()
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
mDatabase.child("isScratched").setValue("1"); //here we create the isScratched and set it to 1 , meaning that the photo is not even scratched yet
Now, after the photo is scratched just set that value to 0
//After your scratch method or when the user finishes scratching the pick
mDatabase.child("isScratched").setValue("0");
Now in your onStart() or in the Activity where the image appears just attach a listener
mDatabase.child("isScratched").addSingleValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String getScratchedValue = datasnapshot.getValue(String.class);
Log.e("IsScratched : " ,""+getScratchedValue);
if(getScratchedValue.equals(0)){
//Your picture is already scratched, run the method that will show it scratched
}
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
System.out.println("Database Error: "+databaseError.getDetails());
}
});

Perhaps you'd want to extend your customized view from ImageView it self.

}
private void init_Paint()

// You can instead use canvas.drawPath();
canvas.drawLine(mStartX, mStartY, mEndX, mEndY, lineDraw);

}
In your attr.xml add the following.
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="Line">
<attr name="startX" format="integer" />

<attr name="startY" format="integer" />
<attr name="endY" format="integer" />
<attr name="strokeWidth" format="dimension" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
and you can use this like so.
<views.customview.Line
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:startX="5"
app:startY="5"
app:endX="500"
app:endY="500"
app:strokeWidth="15dp"
android:src="#drawable/add_bookmark"

Customize a ProgressBar to become a Thermometer

How to customize a ProgressBar to look like a Thermometer ? with the possibility to change color.
My suggestion was to rotate the progressBar 90° to become vertical then have it overlay an image of an empty Thermometer but it's bad and messy solution.
I Think the best will be to either to extends View or ProgressBar class and customize the draw method but I have no idea how to draw Thermometer, any Help would be appreciated.

First I would provide 2 setters, one for color and one for the temperature value, normalized from 0 ... 1, where 0 means no visible bar, and 1 means a fully visible bar.
public void setColor(int color) {
mColor = color;
invalidate(); // important, this triggers onDraw
}
public void setValue(float value) {
mValue = -(value - 1);
invalidate(); // important, this triggers onDraw
}
Notice for value, I reverse the value, since we draw the bar from bottom up, instead from top down. It makes sense in the canvas.drawRect method.
If your CustomView may have custom sizes, set your size of the progressBar (I refer to the inner bar as progressBar) in onSizeChanged, as this gets called when the View has changed it's size.
If it is a fixed size, you can just provide those values statically in an init function or the constructor.
#Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
mProgressRect = new Rect(
/*your bar left offset relative to base bitmap*/,
/*your bar top offset relative to base bitmap*/,
/*your bar total width*/,
/*your max bar height*/
);
}
Then in ondraw, take these values into account and draw accordingly.
First draw the Bitmap, depending on your selected color (I would provide the thermometer base as a Bitmap, as long as it does not have to be completely dynamically drawn (special requirements)
Then draw the progress bar, with an height based on mValue * totalHeight of the bar, using the color provided in the setter.
For example:
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// draw your thermometer base, bitmap based on color value
canvas.drawBitmap( /*your base thermometer bitmap here*/ );
// draw the "progress"
canvas.drawRect(mProgressRect.left, mProgressRect.top + (mValue * mProgressRect.bottom - mProgressRect.top), mProgressRect.right, mProgressRect.bottom, mPaint);
}
Hope that helps.
P.S.:
If you want to have the thermometer base image also dynamically drawn, it's a slightly different story, it would involve creating a path first and draw it with a Paint object, instead of drawing the bitmap.
EDIT:
Even better, if you want a simple solution for the "roundness" of the bar, draw a line instead a rect.
Define a line paint object like this:
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(20); // thickness of your bar
then in onDraw, instead drawRect:
// draw the "progress"
canvas.drawLine(mProgressRect.left, mProgressRect.top + (mValue * mProgressRect.bottom - mProgressRect.top), mProgressRect.left, mProgressRect.bottom, mPaint);
Be sure to adjust your mProgressRectaccordingly.

Changing background color of SignatureView

I found this code on stack and it works well. However, there is an issue. While I'm able to set its background color, the color changes to black as soon as the clearSignature() function is called.
Why is that happening?

Well I have updated the original SignatureView code, now it supports a custom signature background color. This color is different from the view's background color!
setSigBackgroundColor()
I also made some other optimizations, use on your own risk as this is minimal tested!
Small list of optimizations:
Better bitmap recycling etc.
Recycling of MotionEvents
Added signature background color set method
Optimizations
Changed setImage method, although still not very safe to use!
New code:
