Canvas draw color inside drawable. Dont touch transparent part of image

I have a drawable with transparent left and right parts. I need to draw some progress inside it.
startDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, startDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
startDrawable.draw(canvas);
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
Path path = new Path();
path.moveTo(0, 0);
path.lineTo(startDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth() / 2, 0);
path.lineTo(startDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth() / 2, canvas.getHeight());
canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
But unfortunately this code fill transparent parts too and it looks like black rectangle.
I want to see something like this. Does it possible to draw black color only inside not trasparent part of image ??

You can create two different Bitmaps:
one that includes your normal background, lines, shapes and any draw you want (be sure to stay INSIDE your choosed bounds)
one that is the shape used to CUT the previous one via "Paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.xxxxxxx))" method (do a "PorterDuffXfermode" search on Google Images to see all mixes possibilities)
In this way you are free to draw what you want in a normal rectangular/squared Bitmap, and at the end you apply a Mask (over the whole Bitmap) using a free shape (triangular, circular, etc..). Same tecnique is used to create a circular picture starting from the original rectangular version.
For example this code creates a rounded version of a rectangular Bitmap:
#Nullable
public static Bitmap getRoundedBitmap(#Nullable final Bitmap bmp, final int radius) {
if ((bmp == null) || (radius < 1)) return null;
Bitmap cBitmap;
if (bmp.getWidth() != radius || bmp.getHeight() != radius) {
float cSmallest = Math.min(bmp.getWidth(), bmp.getHeight());
float cFactor = cSmallest / radius;
try {
cBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, (int)(bmp.getWidth() / cFactor), (int)(bmp.getHeight() / cFactor), true);
} catch (Exception e) {
cBitmap = null;
}
} else cBitmap = bmp;
if (cBitmap == null) return null;
final Bitmap cOutput = Bitmap.createBitmap(radius, radius, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
final Canvas cCanvas = new Canvas(cOutput);
final Paint cPaint = new Paint();
final Rect cRect = new Rect(0, 0, radius, radius);
cPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
cPaint.setFilterBitmap(true);
cPaint.setDither(true);
cPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
cCanvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
cPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
cCanvas.drawCircle(radius / 2f, radius / 2f, radius / 2f, cPaint);
cPaint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));
//draws the rectangular Bitmap and use the special Paint object that has the circular "mask" set
cCanvas.drawBitmap(cBitmap, cRect, cRect, cPaint);
return cOutput;
}

Android - Any library for adding repost label to bitmap

I have been trying to make a photo sharing app, with the ability to add your image and name to the image. I have been messing with Canvas for the whole day, but couldn't get good results. I was able to draw the name and bitmap, but they didn't look so good.
That's why I am here asking about is there any library or piece of code that could help me in making something similar to [this][1]. I wasn't able to find any thing for it.
EDIT: Sorry for not adding my own code
Here is my code from my latest try
public void AddText(Position2D pos){
//Position2D is an enum having the 4 corners of the image
bmWorking= bmOriginal.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888,true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmWorking);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
float width = (35f/100f) * bmWorking.getWidth();
float height = (width/16f) * 3;
textPaint.setTextSize(height - 4); //I wanted to have some space (margin) above and below the text
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
float [] coords = getPositionCoords(pos, width, height); //getPositionCoords returns a float array with the Left,Top,Right,Bottom position calculated based on the width and height
canvas.drawRect(coords[0],coords[1], coords[2], coords[3],paint);
username = "Haider Ali Punjabi";
canvas.drawText(username, coords[0] ,coords[3], textPaint);
bitmapView.setImageBitmap(bmWorking);
}
Here is the result
UPDATE:
#pskink gave me this code
which works nicely

if you want to customize it, then instead of solid white rectangle (like in your original code) use a Drawable and the result could be something like this:
the code:
// for int gravity: see android.view.Gravity, like Gravity.LEFT, Gravity.BOTTOM, etc
// for example:
// Bitmap out = addText(this, in, "Haider Ali Punjabi", android.R.drawable.alert_light_frame, Gravity.BOTTOM, new Point(10, 10));
public Bitmap addText(Context ctx, Bitmap in, String text, int resId, int gravity, Point pad) {
if (pad == null) pad = new Point();
Bitmap out = in.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(out);
Paint textPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
textPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
// textPaint.setTextSize(128);
Rect inBounds = new Rect();
textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), inBounds);
float scale = out.getWidth() * 0.35f / inBounds.width();
Rect container = new Rect(0, 0, out.getWidth(), out.getHeight());
Rect outBounds = new Rect();
int w = (int) (inBounds.width() * scale);
int h = (int) (inBounds.height() * scale);
Gravity.apply(gravity, 2 * pad.x + w, 2 * pad.y + h, container, outBounds);
Drawable dr = ctx.getResources().getDrawable(resId);
Rect padding = new Rect();
dr.getPadding(padding);
dr.setBounds(outBounds.left - padding.left, outBounds.top - padding.top, outBounds.right + padding.right, outBounds.bottom + padding.bottom);
dr.draw(canvas);
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
RectF src = new RectF(inBounds);
RectF dst = new RectF(outBounds);
dst.inset(pad.x, pad.y);
matrix.setRectToRect(src, dst, Matrix.ScaleToFit.CENTER);
canvas.concat(matrix);
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 0, textPaint);
return out;
}

Draw rectangles on circle formula

I'm trying to draw the spectrum of an audio file on a circle. Like this:
So on the circle I just want rectangles drawn like you see on the image.
I've got this code:
public void onRender(Canvas canvas, FFTData data, Rect rect) {
canvas.drawCircle(rect.width()/2, rect.height()/2, 200, mPaint);
for (int i = 0; i < data.bytes.length / mDivisions; i++) {
byte rfk = data.bytes[mDivisions * i];
byte ifk = data.bytes[mDivisions * i + 1];
float magnitude = (rfk * rfk + ifk * ifk);
int dbValue = (int) (10 * Math.log10(magnitude));
}
}
Where FFTData is the Fast Fourier Transformation data that Android gives me. Now in my dbValue I got the strength of the signal. mDivisions is how much bars I want. Currently set on 16 because I don't know how much I can set on the circle.
I'm stuck on how I can draw the rectangle with his center on the circle line... So I want a rectangle whose height is based on the dbValue so that I get high and low rectangles. And the center must be placed on my circle line.
Can someone help me on this math formula?

Run a loop over all 360 degrees of the circle (at wanted step), and, for each point, convert Polar (this angle and the radius of the circle) coordinates into Cartesian, as described here, for instance. This way you get the location of the centre of your rectangle.
Translate the system of the coordinates, making origin to be at the wanted point on the circle line and then rotate by the circle angle at that point.
Alternatively, you can build a trapezoid by getting corners at angle +- some offset and radius +- some offset (proportional to your value to plot). It will have shorter inner edge and longer outer edge. Such trapezoids may look better if painted side by side.

i think all you have needed is a pencil and a paper and a little math and also some free time to play :-)

Converting a Circle To a Ring using Canvas?

I'm using a Custom View where I created a Circle:
canvas.drawCircle(width/2, width/2, radius, paint1);
Now, I want to empty the circle from inside, something like a ring.
Drawing another smaller white circle will raise another problem. I'm planning to make my view listen to user clicks. I want to listen to the clicks on the ring only!
Is there a way to exclude some part of the canvas?

In order to draw a ring (i.e., a circle that is NOT filled in but just has a border, with the area inside transparent) do this:
Paint myPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
myPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
int strokeWidth=4; // or whatever
myPaint.setStrokeWidth(strokeWidth);
myPaint.setColor(0xffff0000); //color.RED
float radius=(float) (0.5*(w+h)*0.5);
canvas.drawCircle((float)0.5*w, (float)0.5*h, radius, myPaint);
The call to drawCircle can also be replaced by drawArc like the code below. Either approach will work. The secret sauce is to set the paint style to Paint.Style.STROKE.
RectF oval = new RectF(w/2 - radius, w/2 - radius, w/2 + radius, w/2 + radius);
canvas.drawArc(oval, 0, 360, false, myPaint);

To draw a ring, use drawArc :
RectF oval = new RectF(width/2 - radius, width/2 - radius, width/2 + radius, width/2 + radius);
canvas.drawArc(oval, 0, 360, false, paint1);

I worked around the problem by drawing an inner white circle and filtering the clicks based on the two radius lengths I had.
So, you can't draw an empty circle but you can make a circle to behave like an empty one.
Thanks.

this solution works:
Paint paintPath;
int circleRadius = (int)
TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 10, context.getResources()
.getDisplayMetrics());
paintPath = new Paint();
paintPath.setStrokeWidth(circleRadius);
paintPath.setColor(Color.WHITE);
paintPath.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paintPath.setAntiAlias(true);
paintPath.setPathEffect(null);
paintPath.setRasterizer(null);
inside on draw
RectF rectF = new RectF(centerx - radius, centery - radius,
centerx + radius, centery + radius);
Path myPath = new Path();
for (int i = 0; i <= 360; i += 1)
{
myPath.addArc(rectF, i, 1);
}
canvas.drawPath(myPath, paintPath);

More short way:
draw = function() {
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
ctx.beginPath();
// ctx.fillStyle = "green";
ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.radius, 0, Math.PI*2, false);
// ctx.fill();
ctx.strokeStyle = "yellow";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}

Android - Converting string to image

I need to read the text/string from database and convert them into images. I tried the following code but I am getting only blank images. Please help
public Bitmap textAsBitmap(String text, float largest, int textColor) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(textColor);
// int width = (int) (paint.measureText(text) + 0.5f); // round
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);
paint.setTextSize(16);
int width = 400;
// float baseline = (int) (paint.ascent() + 0.5f) + 3f;
// int height = (int) ((baseline + paint.descent() + 0.5f) + 3);
int height = 400;
Bitmap image = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height,
Bitmap.Config.RGB_565);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(image);
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 5, paint);
return image;
}

I haven't tried this, but do you perhaps need to first fill your bitmap with a colour that contrasts with textColor? This would certainly seem like an important thing to do in any case -- the documentation for createBitmap() does not specify the initial content of the bitmap, so it could theoretically be anything, and may change in future versions of the system.
