If I understand your question correctly, I think that you should remove this line from your Case.ACTION_MOVE.
iv_canvas.setImageBitmap(baseBitmap);
By doing this you are resetting your ImageView every time you move on the screen which will cause the ImageView to be just a blank

How to operate Android OS with screen coordinates

I have coordinates of screen and I want to tell operating system to perform that operation which OS is supposed to perform on touch of screen on that coordinates.
Just like cicret somehow tells mobile phone that what to do. While user is not directly interacting with mobile phone.
Plz tell me anything if you know about it.

stringBuilder.setLength(0);
if (arg1.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {

Calling custom view from main activity.. Message in onDraw() is printed but custom view is not rendered

I have two classes - MainActivity.java and MainView.java.
I'm trying to render a custom view (defined in MainView.java) when screen is touched from the main activity.
My code is doing a funky thing. From the main page, when you touch the screen, it does NOT render the custom view I've specified in MainView.java - but still prints out a message I put in the onDraw() method, which should mean that onDraw() is being run. Why is my onDraw() method being run but its view doesn't render?
Also, both my onTouchEvent in MainActivity.java and MainView.java seems to respond at the same time, although the view I see is the only the activity_main.xml.
Please help :(

The problem is in your layout. Both your custom View and the ImagView are, since your are using a RelativeLayout, aligned to the Top left. The z order in this case put the ImageView on top on your custom View and, since it is taking the whole screen, you can't see your custom view.

How to create a button using onTouch?

I want to write a program which creates a button, whenever I'm touching the screen, the button should be created on the place where the screen was touched.
I wrote a program which creates circles, whenever and where the screen is touched, can anybody explain me how to make buttons instead of circles?
Thx.

Point p = new Point();
p.x = (int)event.getX();
p.y = (int)event.getY();
points.add(p);
Button button = new Button(getContext());
int buttonHeight = 50;
int buttonWidth = 50;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(buttonWidth, buttonHeight);
params.leftMargin = p.x;
params.topMargin = p.y;
addView(button, params);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

//DO SOMETHING! {RUN SOME FUNCTION ... DO CHECKS... ETC}
}
});
case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: {
break;
}
}
invalidate();
return true;
}
// Do something
}

First make your class extends a ViewGroup like RelativeLayout and FrameLayout in your case.
Then, on the touch event, create a Button (or a ImageView and setOnClickListener()), adjust the position of the button with margins on the view LayoutParams and add the button to the layout via addView().
Edit: The button creation will be like this on onTouchEvent():
Point p = new Point();
p.x = (int)event.getX();
p.y = (int)event.getY();
Button button = new Button(context);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(buttonWidth, buttonHeight);
params.leftMargin = p.x;
params.topMargin = p.y;
addView(button, params);
Also change this to be inside ACTION_UP to prevent creating multiple buttons on long pressing.

This is not possible. You can draw a circle because that is a graphic. If you were to make button appear then you would need to add it to XML. I assume you are making a game that requires elements to randomly appear. I suggest if this is the case to use and engine a spawn random circles and when touched do what you need. Hope this helps

Use Current Activity Context to access resources instead of Any other activity as in current code you are trying to access Animation resources by passing firstActivity.this .
imageSwitcher.setInAnimation(AnimationUtils.
loadAnimation(l2_AltInvestActivity.this,android.R.anim.slide_in_left));
imageSwitcher.setOutAnimation(AnimationUtils.
loadAnimation(l2_AltInvestActivity.this,android.R.anim.slide_out_right));
use l2_AltInvestActivity.this instead of firstActivity.this
