Strange behavior with Android view.invalidate() - android

I have 3 custom views placed vertically in a LinearLayout, they are used to display different dynamic info, so they're supposed be invalidated and redrawn at different time. But I found the view invalidation is out of usual expectation, that is: if you invalidate the top view,all 3 views are invalidated at the same time, if you invalidate the middle view, the middle and bottom views are invalidated, the top one is not, if you invalidate the bottom view, only the bottom view itself is invalidated, this is what I want, so what happened with the first 2 cases ? I searched and got similar questions like:

Android Invalidate() only single view
but it seems no exact answer. I post my code here, any comment is appreciated.

MyView1 mv1 = (MyView1)findViewById(R.id.mv1);
MyView1 mv2 = (MyView1)findViewById(R.id.mv2);
MyView1 mv3 = (MyView1)findViewById(R.id.mv3);
mv1.invalidate(); // all 3 views are invalidated
// mv2.invalidate(); // mv2 and mv3 are invalidated
// mv3.invalidate(); // only mv3 is invalidated,this is what I want
}
}

</LinearLayout>

You shouldn't rely on the count or the time of the calls to onDraw() for the internal state of your View. Move the p.setColor() call to a separate public method, and call invalidate() at the end of it. For example:
public class MyView1 extends View {
...
public void changePaint() {
p.setColor(Color.argb(0xff, Math.abs(r.nextInt()) % 255, Math.abs(r.nextInt()) % 255, Math.abs(r.nextInt()) % 255));
invalidate();
}
}
Then in your onTest() method:
public void onTest(View view) {
MyView1 mv1 = (MyView1)findViewById(R.id.mv1);
...
mv1.changePaint();
...
}

Cannot implement linerGradient() in TextView inside onCreate() method

I want to implement linearGradient() in my textView. I want it in a way so that when the activity loads up, the linearGradient() gets applied on my textview. I was able to do it in a button click listener, but the linear gradient does not work whenever I implement it in the onCreate() method. Below is my xml layout:
<RelativeLayout

What I want to implement is given below (I removed the button):

Typeface face=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "fonts/billabong.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(face);
mWidth=tv.getWidth();
mHeight=tv.getHeight();

GradientManager gm= new GradientManager(getApplicationContext(),size);
shader=gm.getRandomLinearGradient();
tv.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE,null);
tv.getPaint().setShader(shader);
}
}
The contents of GradientManager.java is unchanged, Only the button is removed from my layout. The above code does not show any gradient color, instead It displays the whole textView with the first color of the linear gradient color parameter [Color.parseColor("#6656C8")]. This is my screenshot:
Can someone please help me with the code? What am I missing? Any help is appreciated.
You are using tv.getWidth and getHeight during onCreate. At that time TextView is not measured yet therefore those values are not valid. İf you have to get width and height for gradient you should apply your gradient after measure step is done(i.e. using ongloballayoutlistener).

FrameLayouts not shown when used with Linear Layout

I would like to test out using fragment manager to replace fragments dynamically. In the main layout, under the parent liner layout, I have 3 layouts, one child linear layout and 2 child frame layouts. The idea is to use a button in the first child linear layout to swap fragments in the 3rd frame layouts.
The issue I am seeing: when the application is loaded, only the child linear layout shows up on the screen; the fragments and their frame layout container is not visible. Can someone tell whether I am doing anything wrong here? There are no particular errors in the LogCat...
I tried to tweak the weight parameter for child layouts to resolve this issue, but without too much success.
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have given your LinearLayout height as match_parent so it will match the whole parent that's why FrameLayout is not showing. Give LinearLayout height as wrap_content and try it.

Redraw canvas in Android

I am making an Android 2.2 application using Eclipse. My application should draw
images by clicking on buttons.
I have two buttons at the bottom of the screen, and I need to draw the shape in the same screen that has the buttons. I used FrameLayout in which the shapes are drawn.
My problem is, the two shapes are overwriting, so I need to redraw the canvas.
My Code

The above is all my code. The shapes are overwriting, so I want to remove and redraw the canvas or redraw without overwriting.
Try calling invalidate() on your view.
Call canvas.save() then do drawing then call canvas.restore(). Also depends on the bitmaps you are drawing. The bitmaps should have a transparent background.
Edit
Call canvas.drawColor(Color.White); //Or whichever bg color before drawing the bitmap.
Edit
In drawview try this
canvas.drawRect(getLeft(), getTop(), getright() , getBottom() ,paint);
Similarly in CircleView
canvas.drawCircle(getLeft()+getwidth()/2, getTop()+getheight()/2, 100, paint);
One last try. Set children gravity..
<draw.tab.DrawView
android:id="#+id/DrawViewId"
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="600dp"
android:layout_gravity="left">

The only extra step stated by the documentation was to override the View(Context, AttributeSet), which I think I did. The docs I'm referring to are here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html Here is my code.
AndroidTest.java
package com.android.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class AndroidTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
ShapeSquare.java
package com.android.test;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.drawable.ShapeDrawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.OvalShape;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
public class ShapeSquare extends View {
private ShapeDrawable mDrawable;
public ShapeSquare(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
int x = 10;
int y = 10;
int width = 300;
int height = 50;
mDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(new OvalShape());
mDrawable.getPaint().setColor(0xff74AC23);
mDrawable.setBounds(x, y, x + width, y + height);
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
mDrawable.draw(canvas);
}
}
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<com.android.test.shapedrawable.ShapeSquare
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The error is a force quit error and I can't figure out where the problem lies. The shape properties will be dictated by user input (eventually), so the shape needs to be created in a class as opposed to all xml.
Figured out the problem here. I had to remove "shapedrawable" from:
<com.android.test.shapedrawable.ShapeSquare
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
Apparently, that was just the location of the demo. I thought it was referencing the class somehow.

Android inflating xml layout generates RuntimeException

I'm new to Android and i'm trying to inflate a layout in xml but i get a RuntimeException. I have cut out almost everything except for my activity class and the class extending SurfaceView.
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.hj.Panel
android:id="#+id/SurfaceView01"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</FrameLayout>
Rita.java:
package com.hj;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class Rita extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
Panel.java:
package com.hj;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
class Panel extends SurfaceView {
private Paint mPaint;
public Panel(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
mPaint = new Paint();
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, 322, 644, mPaint);
}
}
In order to make your code run I had to do the following:
1) change "match_parent" to "fill_parent"
2) add constructor
public Panel(Context context, AttributeSet atts) {
super(context, atts);
}
You may want to try that
You should always post a stack trace when you report an exception. (Run adb logcat on the command line, or view the logcat window in eclipse).
Without that, my best guess is that it should be fill_parent, not match_parent.
