I have a circle object, created with OpenGL vertices.
When the circle is being touched, I want a scaling animation to be activated. The circle radius will grow bigger until it reaches a certain radius, and then the circle will transform back to its original radius.
What is the best way to implement this animation?
You have a few possibilities. The simplest would be to just create a variable which would hold a scaling factor for your circle and multiply all vertices by it before rendering. Then using some timers and adjusting the scaling factor in time, you could create your animation.
I should add that if you want to scale your circle by its center then you have to first translate the circle vertices so that circle's center will be at (0, 0) point, then scale by the factor and translate the circle back to its initial position.
If the circle animation you're trying to implement is some kind of your GUI element then another way which comes to my mind is to:
create an ImageView in xml or dynamically in code
draw the vertices on it
create an XML android animation and apply it whenever you want
Here's a draft of the code for drawing a circle on the ImageView:
Bitmap tempBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(yourCircleWidth, yourCircleHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas tempCanvas = new Canvas(tempBitmap);
//Draw the circle into the canvas
tempCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
tempCanvas.drawCircle(circleCenterX, circleCenterY, yourCircleRadius, paint);
//Attach the canvas to the ImageView
yourImageView.setImageDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(yourImageView.getResources(), tempBitmap));
For XML animations, here's a good reference:

I can't just seem to figure it out. I am trying to draw a segmented circle (what looks like circle inside a circle). However I want the segments to have specific colors and to be transparent inside the smaller circle. Preferably , I would like to make the color of the segmented lines different than the circle
Here are the solutions I had in mind:
1- Draw arc with fill color for the bigger circle and draw a circle for the small circle. 2 problems with this. First one is that the inner circle area is no longer transparent as it takes the color from the bigger one. Second problem is that the segmentation lines of the outer circle is going all the way to the center (not only to the inner circle perimeter)
2) Draw arcs for the bigger outer circle and draw circle for the inner circle. Set it to be color filled but don't show strokes. Then draw another outer circle on top with no fill just to show strokes. And then draw lines between the inner and outer circle using the calculations ( angle and radius) to determine where the lines are... Very convoluted solution, there has to be another way. Even with this solution, still have problem with the color showing in the center but maybe playing with gradient can help.
I read so much on SO but I couldn't figure the right answer as many answers would remove the control of circle parameters
HEELP!!!
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
float size = Math.min(getWidth(),getHeight());
paint.setStrokeWidth(size/4);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
final RectF oval = new RectF(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
oval.inset(size/8,size/8);
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
Path redPath = new Path();
redPath.arcTo(oval, 0, 120, true);
canvas.drawPath(redPath, paint);
paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
Path greenPath = new Path();
greenPath.arcTo(oval, 120, 120, true);
canvas.drawPath(greenPath, paint);
paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
Path bluePath = new Path();
bluePath.arcTo(oval, 240, 120, true);
canvas.drawPath(bluePath, paint);
paint.setStrokeWidth(2);
paint.setColor(0xff000000);
canvas.save();
for(int i=0;i<360;i+=40){
canvas.rotate(40,size/2,size/2);
canvas.drawLine(size*3/4,size/2,size,size/2,paint);
}
canvas.restore();
final RectF ovalOuter = new RectF(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
ovalOuter.inset(1,1);
canvas.drawOval(ovalOuter,paint);
final RectF ovalInner = new RectF(size/4, size/4, size*3/4,size*3/4);
canvas.drawOval(ovalInner,paint);
}
I'm drawing arcs using the Path class and strokes. Style.STROKE gives arcs without filling. Stroke width is set to size/4 which is a quarter of the view. Half of that stroke width goes outside and the second half goes inside, like this:
xxxxxxxx outer border of the arc of width 5
xxxxxxxx
------------ stroke
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx inner border of the arc
That's why I'm using insets - I need to offset the stroke a bit in order to fit it in the view. Without insets the arcs are cut by all four sides of the view.
And why canvas rotation? Because it's easier to rotate the canvas with built-in methods than calculate lines manually. Rotation uses trigonometric functions and quickly becomes quite complex, hard to read and error prone. Basically I'm rotating the paper and drawing straight lines.
I want to show a sequence of animation(background Transparent) by using a spritesheet (generated by Texturepacker). is there any other engine(way) to show sprite sheet animation other than AndEngine?
If you're drawing the bitmap using canvas you can call
public void drawBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, Rect src, RectF dst, Paint paint)
The bitmap is the spritesheet, the src Rect would be the individual sprite you would wish to show from the spritesheet. So if your spritesheet is a 100x100 bitmap of 16 25x25 px sprites you would use a rect of 0,0,25,25 to draw the first frame.
The dst Rect is the actual x/y coordinates and dimension of drawn sprite onto the canvas. Note you're able to change the original sprite dimensions and the canvas with automatically scale the sprite for you.
Now to animate the spritesheet all you need is some code to change the src Rect every time the frame index should increment.
Imagine that I have a rectangle image. How could I create a style like the next one?
I mean, cropping the image into a circle, add the border, the shadow and the gross /shine effect. Until now, I only have tried this snippet code to crop the image: Cropping circular area from bitmap in Android but just that. I have no idea how to do the remaining components in Android.
An easy way to achieve this effect is to use Canvas.drawCircle() and a BitmapShader:
BitmapShader s = new BitmapShader(myPhoto, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);
Paint p = new Paint();
p.setShader(s);
myCanvas.drawCircle(centerX, centerY, radius, p);
To do the shadow, simply call Paint.setShadowLayer() on the paint (this will only work if you draw the effect into an offscreen Bitmap or if your View uses a software layer – set by calling View.setLayerType() –).
The border can be drawn by drawing another circle on top, using the Paint.Style.STROKE style (that you can set by calling Paint.setStyle()).
Finally you can draw the gloss by drawing a circle, oval or Path on top of your very first circle. You'll need to use a LinearGradient shader on your paint and you'll also need to clip the gloss. You can do this in two ways:
If you are drawing the entire effect into a Bitmap, which is what I would recommend, simply set the paint's Xfermode to a new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN).
If you are drawing the effect directly on screen you can simply use Canvas.clipPath() to set a circular clip. Note that this will work with hardware acceleration only as of Android 4.3.
I want to use downloaded images as markers on a MapView. I images are all squares but I would like the bottom to also extend to form a triangle marking the exact point.
My approach was to create a canvas which is slightly larger than the image. Then, draw the bitmap on to the canvas and then somehow pick the color from the bottom of the bitmap and draw a triangular shape from the horizontal center of the image to the bottom of the canvas. Something like this...
As you might guess I'm stuck with the last part. So far I have....
Bitmap canvasBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(markerBitmap.getWidth(), markerBitmap.getHeight()+10, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// The 10 pixels will be the so called "pin"
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(canvasBitmap);
canvas.drawBitmap(markerBitmap, 0.0f, 0.0f, null);
// Can figure out how to draw the 10 px bottom using the color from markerBitmap
Help !!
Is there any specific reason why you want to create the images dynamically? If not, why don't you create them using a graphics editing program, save them as png's or 9-patch images and then simply assign it to the Drawable that's used for the marker.
I have a bunch of bitmaps that I draw on a Canvas applied with 2D transformation (android.graphics.Camera and android.graphics.Matrix). How do I get the sizes/positions of the bitmaps on Canvas? The size would be the bounds of the bitmap as rendered on Canvas and the position would be the coordinates of the top/left corner of the bounds. All the bitmaps are regular rectangles without an alpha channel.
The matrix class has a mapRect function for this purpose:
mapRect(RectF dst, RectF src)
Apply this matrix to the src rectangle, and write the transformed rectangle into dst.
Give the dimensions of the image as the source (and 0,0 for the x,y if you're using the whole image) and it will give you the transformed dimensions back as the dst rectangle.
