Android: moving image on screen - android

What I want to achieve with this program is , when my finger is touching the image and I am moving(dragging) it on the screen , the image should move along , and as soon as I release my finger , the image should remain at the last touched position. But my image keeps moving on the screen from first touched position to last touched position as the loop keeps updating, giving me this effect.
Here is MainGamePanel class which draws image on screen:
public class MainGamePanel extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private static final String TAG = MainGamePanel.class.getSimpleName();
private MainThread thread;
private Droid droid;
public MainGamePanel(Context context) {
super(context);
getHolder().addCallback(this);
setFocusable(true);
thread = new MainThread(getHolder() , this);
droid = new Droid(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher), 50, 50);
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
thread.setRunning(true);
thread.start();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
boolean retry = true;
while(retry)
{
try {
thread.join();
retry = false;
} catch (InterruptedException e) { }
}
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
droid.handleActionDown((int)event.getX(), (int)event.getY());
if(event.getY() > getHeight() - 50)
{
thread.setRunning(false);
((Activity) getContext()).finish();
}
else
{
Log.d(TAG, "Cords: x = "+event.getX()+" ,y = "+event.getY());
}
}
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
if(droid.isTouched())
{
droid.setX((int)event.getX());
droid.setY((int)event.getY());
}
}
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
if(droid.isTouched())
{
droid.setTouched(false);
}
}
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
droid.draw(canvas);
}
}
And here is the handleActionDown method of Droid class:
public void handleActionDown(int eventX, int eventY)
{
if(eventX >=(x - bitmap.getWidth()/2) && (eventX <= x + (bitmap.getWidth()/2)))
{
if(eventY >=(y - bitmap.getHeight()/2) && (y <= y + (bitmap.getHeight()/2)))
{
setTouched(true);
}else
{
setTouched(false);
}
}
else
{
setTouched(false);
}
}

You just need to clear the canvas before drawing the image.
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
super.draw(canvas);
//Just call this line
canvas.drawColor(0, Mode.CLEAR);
canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap1,mBitmap1Point.x-(mBitmap1.getWidth()/2),mBitmap1Point.y-(mBitmap1.getHeight()/2),null);
}
Worked fine for me.

How can ignore TouchEvents?

My app is a little jump and run game. The moment you die, the activity sleeps for 1 sec. If I touch in that time the screen (so that the OnTouchEvent gets triggered) I get the error "unfortunately app has stopped".
Is there a way to ignore touch events?

How to set remaining days and on touch music in Live wallpaper in Android

In My application, I want to make one countdown Screen for remaining days (like Countdown the days till Christmas) and I want to set that remaining days (With some animation) in live wallpaper screen as shown in the image.
And I need to play some music when click or double tap in the wallpaper.
I am creating GifLiveWallPaper class for set my custom live wallpaper.
GifLiveWallPaper
public class GifLiveWallPaper extends WallpaperService {
static final String TAG = "LIVE_WALLPAPER";
static final Handler liveHandler = new Handler();
#Override
public Engine onCreateEngine() {
try {
return new WallPaperEngine();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.w(TAG, "Error creating WallPaperEngine", e);
stopSelf();
return null;
}
}
class WallPaperEngine extends Engine {
private Movie liveMovie;
private int duration;
private Runnable runnable;
float mScaleX;
float mScaleY;
int mWhen;
long mStart;
public WallPaperEngine() throws IOException {
InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.my_gif_image);
if (is != null) {
try {
liveMovie = Movie.decodeStream(is);
duration = liveMovie.duration();
} finally {
is.close();
}
} else {
throw new IOException("Unable to open R.raw.hand");
}
mWhen = -1;
runnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
nyan();
}
};
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
liveHandler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
}
#Override
public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean visible) {
super.onVisibilityChanged(visible);
if (visible) {
nyan();
} else {
liveHandler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
}
}
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format,
int width, int height) {
super.onSurfaceChanged(holder, format, width, height);
mScaleX = width / (1f * liveMovie.width());
mScaleY = height / (1f * liveMovie.height());
nyan();
}
#Override
public void onOffsetsChanged(float xOffset, float yOffset,
float xOffsetStep, float yOffsetStep, int xPixelOffset,
int yPixelOffset) {
super.onOffsetsChanged(xOffset, yOffset, xOffsetStep, yOffsetStep,
xPixelOffset, yPixelOffset);
nyan();
}
void nyan() {
tick();
SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder = getSurfaceHolder();
Canvas canvas = null;
try {
canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
if (canvas != null) {
drawGif(canvas);
}
} finally {
if (canvas != null) {
surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
}
liveHandler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
if (isVisible()) {
liveHandler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000L / 25L);
}
}
void tick() {
if (mWhen == -1L) {
mWhen = 0;
mStart = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
} else {
long mDiff = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - mStart;
mWhen = (int) (mDiff % duration);
}
}
void drawGif(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save();
canvas.scale(mScaleX, mScaleY);
liveMovie.setTime(mWhen);
liveMovie.draw(canvas, 0, 0);
canvas.restore();
}
}
}
How can I set remaining days and music as described in above ?
To play some music when click or double tap in the live wallpaper, add the following code to GifLiveWallPaper class. (Place your_music_file in res--> raw folder)
MediaPlayer mPlayer=new MediaPlayer();
#Override
public void onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mDoubleTapDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
}
private GestureDetector mDoubleTapDetector = new GestureDetector(GifLiveWallPaper.this,
new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
#Override
public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) {
if(!mPlayer.isPlaying())
{
mPlayer= MediaPlayer.create(GifLiveWallPaper.this, R.raw.your_music_file);
mPlayer.start();
}
else
{
mPlayer.stop();
}
return true;
}
});
#Override
public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean visible) {
super.onVisibilityChanged(visible);
if (!visible) {
if(mPlayer.isPlaying())
{
mPlayer.stop();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
liveHandler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
if(mPlayer.isPlaying())
{
mPlayer.stop();
}
}

Refreshing canvas?

I try to display one from list of bitmaps during onDraw.
When i'm passing list to the canvas all are display and stay in their places.
When I pass one random bitmaps it's redrawing canvas all the time.
All works when i'm using public void drawEnemy(Canvas canvas) but not exactly like I want when using public void drawEn(Canvas canvas).
I want to display one random bitmap, then after a few seconds, delete it and display other bitmap. I think the problem is how I implemented onDrow() method. It's redrawing canvas all the time.

As for as understand you are trying to do something like this (if it's not, please correct me):
This is rendering the canvas with all components:
Draw background
Draw enemy
To "refresh" the canvas you simply do something like this:
Draw background
Update
To pause the rendering you could do something like this:
int lastUpdateTime;
int delayTime = 2000; 2 seconds
if(System.currenttimeMillis() > lastUpdateTime + delayTime) {
// Finished waiting
}
You should only define lastUpdateTime when you want to wait and not in every iteration.
NB: Don't call Thread.sleep() in a rendering thread!

Android: Background on SurfaceView?

I have a surface view, and whenever I touch the screen, an image comes up in the spot I touch. It's great, but I cannot figure out how to put a background on the SurfaceView. I have tried using the OnDraw to draw a background right away (Without having to touch it), and that only works some of the time. It force closes most of the time.
Would anyone want to look at my code and see if it's possible to get a background image on the Surface view? Thanks in advance.

Well, what strikes me first off all (and what could be causing a lot of problem) is this:
you're creating new bitmap way too often
Every time you get a touch event, you're loading in your bitmaps ... and you can get 80 to 100 touchevents every second!
So to start with, define global bitmaps (private Bitmap bmp1; etc), load them somewhere else and THEN use them in your touch event.
Also, remove the bmp loading/creation from onDraw and move it to somewhere else.
After you've done that, see what happens; you might have more problems (a REALY quick scan of your code seemed fine), but not creating and loading bitmaps 80 times a second will definitely help out :)

I also have ViewThread, just my animation thread, and GraphicsElement, which defines the moving object. My animation is going very slow(on touch), and I think it has something to do with my .sleep() method. Could anyone please help me ?
Edit: I'm using .sleep() because I don't want to flood TouchEvents.
i'm trying to get it like: Check for TouchEvent, Sleep, Check for TouchEvent, Sleep.. etc...
I've had the same issues with touch slowing things down and ended up with a similar approach to yours (sleeping the UI thread on touch events, as recommended by a Google game developer). The thing that seemed to help me was playing with the length of the sleep time. Try increasing it to 70 ms or even more and see if that helps. Most apps don't need a super high sample rate for touch input.
Firstly, you should initialize your Panel inside your onCreate() method.
Panel p = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
p = new Panel(this);
setContentView(p);
}
Secondly, I do not understand why you are doing a sleep in your onTouchEvent() handler. Try taking that out, and things should speed up, especially if you think that may be the cause!
