Getting ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException when calling invalidate function in Custom Surface View

I am creating a moving animation for my Card Game, for this i have created a custom surface view, while calling invalidate method inside my Surface View i am getting following exception

Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
You need to use RunOnUiThread from within your thread code whenever you update your views:
RunOnUiThread (() => {
someView.SomeProperty = "SO";
});

How to get the screen size?

I am trying to set a sprite image as a background
and I didn't success to set the image size to screen size.
I'm trying this:
public class Game extends SurfaceView implements Runnable {
private SurfaceHolder holder;
private boolean isRunning = false;
private Thread gameThread;
private Sprite s;
private int screenWidth;
private int screenHeight;
Canvas canvas;
// private Sprite[] sprites;
private final static int MAX_FPS = 40; //desired fps
private final static int FRAME_PERIOD = 1000 / MAX_FPS; // the frame period
public Game(Context context) {
super(context);
holder = getHolder();
holder.addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
screenWidth = width;
screenHeight = height;
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
});
//====== not working
// Display display = ((Activity)context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
// int sWidth = display.getWidth();
// int sHeight = display.getHeight();
//====== not working
// DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
// ((Activity)context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
// int sWidth = dm.widthPixels;
// int sHeight = dm.heightPixels;
//====== not working
// screenHeight=canvas.getHeight();
// screenWidth=canvas.getWidth();
s=new Sprite(0, 0, BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.mipmap.back));
}
/**

*/
public void resume() {
isRunning = true;
gameThread = new Thread(this);
gameThread.start();
}
/**

*/
public void pause() {
isRunning = false;
boolean retry = true;
while (retry) {
try {
gameThread.join();
retry = false;
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// try again shutting down the thread
}
}
}
class Sprite {
int x;
int y;
int directionX = 1;
int directionY = 1;
int speed = 10;
int color = 0;
Bitmap image;
public Sprite(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public Sprite(int x, int y, Bitmap image) {
this(x, y);
this.image = image;
}
public Sprite(int x, int y, Bitmap image, int color) {
this(x, y, image);
this.color = color;
}
}
protected void step()
{
//blablabla
}
protected void render(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);
Paint p = new Paint();
canvas.drawBitmap(s.image,s.x,s.y,p);
}
#Override
public void run() {
while(isRunning) {
// We need to make sure that the surface is ready
if (! holder.getSurface().isValid()) {
continue;
}
long started = System.currentTimeMillis();
// update
step();
// draw
canvas = holder.lockCanvas();
if (canvas != null) {
render(canvas);
holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
}
float deltaTime = (System.currentTimeMillis() - started);
int sleepTime = (int) (FRAME_PERIOD - deltaTime);
if (sleepTime > 0) {
try {
gameThread.sleep(sleepTime);
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
}
while (sleepTime < 0) {
step();
sleepTime += FRAME_PERIOD;
}
}
}
}
This options doesn't work:
//====== not working
// Display display = ((Activity)context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
// int sWidth = display.getWidth();
// int sHeight = display.getHeight();
//====== not working
// DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
// ((Activity)context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
// int sWidth = dm.widthPixels;
// int sHeight = dm.heightPixels;
//====== not working
// screenHeight=canvas.getHeight();
// screenWidth=canvas.getWidth();
So how I can get the canvas or current screen size?
And set the Sprite.image to full screen ?

Try this for size in pixels,
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

Try this when you decode your bitmap.
final int width = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
final int height = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.outHeight = height;
options.outWidth = width;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher, options)

getting android. view.inflateException when I use zoomView for pageCurlView

please tell me how can i remove the exception. or give me idea to implement zoom view with curlview.....

How to set-up automatic collision with just an update() function?

I've just started with Android programming using eclipse and recently came across this problem. I have a bunch of sprites assigned to an arraylist. Now, I want to make it so that collision is detected automatically between sprites but the template I'm currently using can only detect collision between the surface's borders and the moving sprites. Each sprite's position and speed is generated randomly.
How can I change the update() function in my Sprite() class to detect collision between the moving sprites themselves and at the same changing/bouncing to the opposite direction?
Here's my Sprite class template:
package com.gameproject.cai_test;
import java.util.Random;
public Sprite(GameView gameView, Bitmap bmp) {
this.width = bmp.getWidth() / BMP_COLUMNS;
this.height = bmp.getHeight() / BMP_ROWS;
this.gameView = gameView;
this.bmp = bmp;
Random rnd = new Random();
x = rnd.nextInt(gameView.getWidth() - width);
y = rnd.nextInt(gameView.getHeight() - height);
xSpeed = rnd.nextInt(MAX_SPEED * 2) - MAX_SPEED;
ySpeed = rnd.nextInt(MAX_SPEED * 2) - MAX_SPEED;
}
private void update() {
if (x >= gameView.getWidth() - width - xSpeed || x + xSpeed <= 0) {
xSpeed = -xSpeed;
}
x = x + xSpeed;
if (y >= gameView.getHeight() - height - ySpeed || y + ySpeed <= 0) {
ySpeed = -ySpeed;
}
y = y + ySpeed;
currentFrame = ++currentFrame % BMP_COLUMNS;
}
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
update();
int srcX = currentFrame * width;
int srcY = getAnimationRow() * height;
Rect src = new Rect(srcX, srcY, srcX + width, srcY + height);
Rect dst = new Rect(x, y, x + width, y + height);
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, src, dst, null);
}
private int getAnimationRow() {
double dirDouble = (Math.atan2(xSpeed, ySpeed) / (Math.PI / 2) + 2);
int direction = (int) Math.round(dirDouble) % BMP_ROWS;
return DIRECTION_TO_ANIMATION_MAP[direction];
}
//gameplay operations
//only values from 0 to 9 will be picked; each assigned its own sprite in the list
public int randomValue(){
Random rnd = new Random();
RandomValue = rnd.nextInt(10);
return RandomValue;
}
//sequence operation from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
public int produceSum(){
int addOne = 0;
int addTwo = 0;
Sum = addOne + addTwo;
return Sum;
}
public int produceDiff(){
int deductOne = 0;
int deductTwo = 0;
Difference = deductOne - deductTwo;
return Difference;
}
public int produceProduct(){
int multiOne = 0;
int multiTwo = 0;
Product = multiOne * multiTwo;
return Product;
}
public int produceQuotient(){
int divideOne = 0;
int divideTwo = 0;
Quotient = divideOne / divideTwo;
return Quotient;
}
//each time this returns true, the game is reset with new operation
//compares the value of the bubble picked to the random number being compared through operations
public boolean compareBubbleValue(int randomBubble, int bubbleValue){
if (randomBubble == bubbleValue){
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
As you can see, the update() method only checks the collision between the moving sprites and the borders.

Okey, so lets name your array of sprites spriteArray and loop through it twice
public Rect getBounds(){ //put this in your sprite and enemy-class.
return new Rect(x, y, x+width, y+height);
}
Public void checkCollision(){
for (int i = 0; i<spriteArray.size(); i++){
Rect mySprite = spriteArray.get(i).getBounds(); //create rect for every sprite in array
for (int j = 0; j<spriteArray.size(); i++){
Rect myOtherSprite = spriteArray.get(i).getBounds();
if(mySprite.intersect(myOtherSprite)){ //check if they touch
//Todo code here
}
}
}
}
then you just put this method in your update-method.

Here's the coding for the GameView class (pardon the mess, it's a jumble of codes and comments):
package com.gameproject.cai_test;
public class GameView extends SurfaceView {
private Bitmap bmp;
private Bitmap background;
private Bitmap backgroundImage;

morebanner = new SpriteObject(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.morebanner), 650, 300);
formulaBox = new SpriteObject(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.formulabox), 650, 600);
background = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.background);
backgroundImage = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.background);
pop = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pop);
final Toast toast1 = Toast.makeText(context, "LEVEL 1 start", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
holder = getHolder();
holder.addCallback(new Callback() {
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
//setSurfaceSize(getWidth(), getHeight());
toast1.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast1.show();
createSprites();
gameLoopThread.setRunning(true);
gameLoopThread.start();
//banner();
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format,
int width, int height) {
}
});
}
private void createSprites() {
sprites.add(createSprite(R.drawable.bubble1));
sprites.add(createSprite(R.drawable.bubble2));
sprites.add(createSprite(R.drawable.bubble3));
sprites.add(createSprite(R.drawable.bubble4));

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++){

}
}
private Sprite createSprite(int resource) {
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), resource);
return new Sprite(this, bmp);
}
public void setSurfaceSize(int width, int height)
{
synchronized (surfaceHolder)
{
int canvasWidth = width;
int canvasHeight = height;
backgroundImage = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(backgroundImage, width, height, true);
}
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
//levelbanner1.draw(canvas);//causes error when applied;for reference only
for (int i = temps.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
temps.get(i).onDraw(canvas);
}
for (Sprite sprite : sprites) {
timer.draw(canvas);
//formulaBox.draw(canvas);
sprite.onDraw(canvas);
}
if (sprites.size() == 0){
morebanner.draw(canvas);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (System.currentTimeMillis() - lastClick > 300) {
lastClick = System.currentTimeMillis();
float x = event.getX();
float y = event.getY();
synchronized (getHolder()) {
for (int i = sprites.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
Sprite sprite = sprites.get(i);
if (sprite.isCollition(x, y)) {
sprites.remove(sprite);
temps.add(new TempSprite(temps, this, x, y, pop));
break;
}
}
}
}
return true;
}
public void update(){
//for possible check of collision bet. sprites
//
}
}
I've tried assigning a Rect for the sprites here and checking collision on the bottom update() function but result gets awry and produces a runtime error. Probably would be better if its automated in the Sprite class update() function, just as it does for border collision.

If you want to have nice and proper collisions between your sprites, maybe looking at a physics engine like http://www.jbox2d.org/ would help.
It will handle a lot of the complex specific cases for you (tunnelling, time of impact, broadphase for early discard...)

Android live wallpaper scaling

I'm learning android and java and am trying to learn how to make a live wallpaper
I am using the aquarium tutorial, I put it all in one file instead of spreading it but what I am trying to do is get one scale number for everything, I want to get the height of the screen divide that by the background image height (which will always be bigger), this should give me a ratio to use for scaling everything, I tried this in a surfaceView code and it worked perfect, I tried it in livewallpaper and nada.
In the surfaceView test I use onSizeChange and got the height that way and it worked no problems.
This is what I did for the livewallpaper one
This is what I put for the onSurfaceChange
public int screenWidth;
public float rescaler;
public float totalHeight = theTemplate._backgroundImage.getHeight();
#Override
public void onSurfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
//add rescale and width
screenWidth = width;
rescaler = (float) (height / totalHeight);
super.onSurfaceChanged(holder, format, width, height);
}
The background image comes from an inner class named TheTemplate
This is what I did there
The variables
private SpriteAnimationActivityEngine theTest;
private Bitmap theBackgroundImage;
private float theScaler = theTest.rescaler;
then I try and rescale it using theScaler
public void initialize(Context context, SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
this.spriteThread = new SpriteThread(this);
this._surfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
this._sprites = new ArrayList<Renderable>();
this._context = context;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable = true;
this._backgroundImage = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),ca.samsstuff.testonepagewallpaper.R.drawable.sky, options);
this.theBackgroundImage = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(_backgroundImage, (int) (theScaler * _backgroundImage.getWidth()), (int) (theScaler * _backgroundImage.getHeight()), true);
this.addSprites();
}
Then it passes it to draw the background
private void renderBackGround(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(this.theBackgroundImage, 0, 0, null);
}
Which sends it to draw
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
this.renderBackGround(canvas);
for (Renderable renderable : this._sprites) {
renderable.render(canvas);
}
}
I keep getting errors and don't know what I am doing wrong. Like I said I am learning both android and java but this method worked in another test I did but I got the screen height from onSizeChange can I get the height by using onSurfaceChange?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

EDIT
I also tried to rescale within the theTemplate class just to see if it would work having everything within its own class and still having issues, I used the DisplayMetrics to get the screen height this time.
This might work if I can get it going properly.
Here is this attempt
public class TheTemplate {
private SpriteThread spriteThread;
private SurfaceHolder _surfaceHolder;
private ArrayList<Renderable> _sprites;
public Bitmap _backgroundImage = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.sky);;

// add rescale stuff
private Bitmap theBackgroundImage;
private float theScaler = initFrameParams() / _backgroundImage.getHeight();
private Bitmap oneBackImage = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(_backgroundImage, (int) (theScaler * _backgroundImage.getWidth()), (int) (theScaler * _backgroundImage.getHeight()), true);
int initFrameParams()
{
//get the screen height to use to rescale everything
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
Display display = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
display.getMetrics(metrics);
int screenHeight = display.getHeight();
return screenHeight;
}
public void render(){
Canvas canvas = null;
try{
canvas = this._surfaceHolder.lockCanvas(null);

this.onDraw(canvas);
}
}finally{

this.spriteThread.switchOff();
while (retry) {

} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// we will try it again and again...
}
}
}
public int getLeft() {
return 0;
}
public int getRight() {
return this.theBackgroundImage.getWidth();
}
public void initialize(Context context, SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
this.spriteThread = new SpriteThread(this);
this._surfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
this._sprites = new ArrayList<Renderable>();
this._context = context;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable = true;
this.theBackgroundImage = oneBackImage;
this.addSprites();
}
private void addSprites() {
Point startPoint = new Point(100, 100);
this._sprites.add(new SpriteOne(this._context, this, startPoint, 90));
Point startPoint1 = new Point(100, 300);
this._sprites.add(new SpriteOne(this._context, this, startPoint1, 50));

}
