change image shape in android - android

I got success in implementing a pinch zoom in/out and drag/drop functionality in images on the canvas.
Now what I want is re-sizing, that images like below link that based on iPhone App
How to change shape of an image using iPhone SDK?
So how can I achieve that kind of functionality in Android ?

Basically you need to invalidate the image and re-draw on the canvas from the beginning ::
img=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.yourimageidfromxml);
img.onTouchEvent(MotionEvent me)
{
int X=me.getX();
int Y=me.getY();
img.invalidate();
img.repaint(X,Y);
}
void paint(int X,int Y)
{
img.setWidth(X);
img.setHeight(Y);
}
Scaling image will transform using repaint on canvas from the beginning

If by re-sizing you are referring to "stretching" the Bitmap on the vertical and horizontal plane then you simply modify the rect that the shape (eg. oval) is being drawn into.
For example:
This is your original shape of an oval:
canvas.drawOval(new Rect(0,0,100,100), bluePaint);
This is the same oval, just stretched (resized) on the horizontal plane:
canvas.drawOval(new Rect(0,0,200,100), bluePaint);
I hope this helps.

There are two options, both involving a custom view. The first is to create a custom view that fills your "canvas". You can keep track of 8 blue and 1 green circles in the view as Rect objects. Override onTouchEvent(MotionEvent) and then check if motion events are in any of your controls and update them accordingly (I'm simplifying things a bit here :)). From your onTouchEvent you would call invalidate(). You're onDraw(Canvas) can then handle drawing the controls and update the image according to how your controls have changed since the last call to onDraw.
The other option is to do something similar, but with a view that only encapsulates the circle and controls, meaning that moving the view around would require a container that will let the view change it's layout parameters. Doing this, your onTouchEvent method would need to trigger an invalidate with that layout view because it would need to recalculate the size and position of your view. This would definitely be harder but depending on what you are trying to achieve working with individual views may be better than maintaining representations of your circles in code in a single view.

The resizing of the image can be achieved by using a simple ImageView with scaleType "fitXY".
You have to add the blue resize handles yourself.
Changing the rotation of the image (green handle) can be achieved by using:
public static Bitmap rotate(Bitmap src, float degree) {
// create new matrix
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
// setup rotation degree
matrix.postRotate(degree);
// return new bitmap rotated using matrix
return Bitmap.createBitmap(src, 0, 0, src.getWidth(), src.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}

Touch event on blended layer image Android

I have a precut image i.e One base image and multiple transparent layer of the the base image.
I am trying to add the layer image on top of base image to select the layer and apply different color on it.
I have tried the following way to achieve it but not able to finish.
ImageView - I am overlapping imageview with transparent layer image. It shows the blended image but the touch event detects the finally overlapped image id always. Because I draw the image with fill parent, all the layer image is also the same
Layer Drawable - It can allow only drawable images, but my use case is to load the precut from gallery or other resource. Even I can't select layer on touch.
GPUImage library - The image is not showing full imageview.

Extend the View class, make the onDraw() function draw what you want to draw. The onTouchEvent() function implement the touch events. What you're trying to do isn't subsumed in any view already made but it's pretty easy to make a view. Just draw the bitmaps on the canvas in the correct order with the correct paints with the right transparency.
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
int numLayers = mLayers.size();
for (int i = 0; i < numLayers; i++) {
canvas.save();
canvas.concat(matrix);
//or
canvas.translate(rect.left,rect.top);
Bitmap b = mLayers.get(i);
canvas.drawBitmap(b, paint);
canvas.restore();
}}
You end up doing this a bunch just adding bitmaps to the canvas in whatever places and order as needed.

Adding image to screen according to user's slide

I would like to display a transperent PNG of a "light" line shape according to user's sliding path.
I'd like to make similar effect like Fruit Ninja has, and leave a track after user slides his finger.
I already have the x,y points of his finger - using onTouch method, and checking the x,y on MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN and MotionEvent.ACTION_UP but how do i draw an image that will be tilted and displayed at those positions? all i know is to add padding/margin to an image, not how to place it using x,y, or how to rotate it..
For positioning and rotating use a canvas (getSurfaceHolder().lockCanvas()) and draw inside it using drawBitmap.
public void drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Matrix mtx, Rect dst, Paint paint)
the matrix can include the rotation:
Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
mtx.postRotate(90);
You might want to se the code from API demos, FingerPaint.

Dynamically create / draw images to put in android view

I'm not sure I'm doing this the "right" way, so I'm open to other options as well. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
I want a view which contains a graph. The graph should be dynamically created by the app itself. The graph should be zoom-able, and will probably start out larger than the screen (800x600 or so)
I'm planning on starting out simple, just a scatter plot. Eventually, I want a scatter plot with a fit line and error bars with axis that stay on the screen while the graph is zoomed ... so that probably means three images overlaid with zoom functions tied together.
I've already built a view that can take a drawable, can use focused pinch-zoom and drag, can auto-scale images, can switch images dynamically, and takes images larger than the screen. Tying the images together shouldn't be an issue.
I can't, however, figure out how to dynamically draw simple images.
For instance: Do I get a BitMap object and draw on it pixel by pixel? I wanted to work with some of the ShapeDrawables, but it seems they can only draw a shape onto a canvas ... how then do I get a bitmap of all those shapes into my view? Or alternately, do I have to dynamically redraw /all/ of the image I want to portray in the "onDraw" routine of my view every time it moves or zooms?
I think the "perfect" solution would be to use the ShapeDrawable (or something like it to draw lines and label them) to draw the axis with the onDraw method of the view ... keep them current and at the right level ... then overlay a pre-produced image of the data points / fit curve / etc that can be zoomed and moved. That should be possible with white set to an alpha on the graph image.
PS: The graph image shouldn't actually /change/ while on the view. It's just zooming and being dragged. The axis will probably actually change with movement. So pre-producing the graph before (or immediately upon) entering the view would be optimal. But I've also noticed that scaling works really well with vector images ... which also sounds appropriate (rather than a bitmap?).
So I'm looking for some general guidance. Tried reading up on the BitMap, ShapeDrawable, Drawable, etc classes and just can't seem to find the right fit. That makes me think I'm barking up the wrong tree and someone with some more experience can point me in the right direction. Hopefully I didn't waste my time building the zoom-able view I put together yesterday :).
First off, it is never a waste of time writing code if you learned something from it. :-)
There is unfortunately still no support for drawing vector images in Android. So bitmap is what you get.
I think the bit you are missing is that you can create a Canvas any time you want to draw on a bitmap. You don't have to wait for onDraw to give you one.
So at some point (from onCreate, when data changes etc), create your own Bitmap of whatever size you want.
Here is some psuedo code (not tested)
Bitmap mGraph;
void init() {
// look at Bitmap.Config to determine config type
mGraph = new Bitmap(width, height, config);
Canvas c = new Canvas(mybits);
// use Canvas draw routines to draw your graph
}
// Then in onDraw you can draw to the on screen Canvas from your bitmap.
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
Rect dstRect = new Rect(0,0,viewWidth, viewHeight);
Rect sourceRect = new Rect();
// do something creative here to pick the source rect from your graph bitmap
// based on zoom and pan
sourceRect.set(10,10,100,100);
// draw to the screen
canvas.drawBitmap(mGraph, sourceRect, dstRect, graphPaint);
}
Hope that helps a bit.

Animating and rotating an image in a Surface View

I would like to animate movement on a SurfaceView . Ideally I would like to also be notified once the animation had finished.
For example:
I might have a car facing North. If I wanted to animate it so that it faces South for a duration of 500ms, how could I do that?
I am using a SurfaceView so all animation must be handled manually, I don't think I can use XML or the android Animator classes.
Also, I would like to know the best way to animate something continuously inside a SurfaceView (ie. a walk cycle)
Rotating images manually can be a bit of a pain, but here's how I've done it.
private void animateRotation(int degrees, float durationOfAnimation){
long startTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
long currentTime;
float elapsedRatio = 0;
Bitmap bufferBitmap = carBitmap;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
while (elapsedRatio < 1){
matrix.setRotate(elapsedRatio * degrees);
carBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bufferBitmap, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, true);
//draw your canvas here using whatever method you've defined
currentTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
elapsedRatio = (currentTime - startTime) / durationOfAnimation;
}
// As elapsed ratio will never exactly equal 1, you have to manually draw the last frame
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate(degrees);
carBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bufferBitmap, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, true);
// draw the canvas again here as before
// And you can now set whatever other notification or action you wanted to do at the end of your animation
}
This will rotate your carBitmap to whatever angle you specify in the time specified + the time to draw the last frame. However, there is a catch. This rotates your carBitmap without adjusting its position on screen properly. Depending on how you're drawing your bitmaps, you could end up with your carBitmap rotating while the top-left corner of the bitmap stays in place. As the car rotates, the bitmap will stretch and adjust to fit the new car size, filling the gaps around it with transparent pixels. It's hard to describe how this would look, so here's an example rotating a square:
The grey area represents the full size of the bitmap, and is filled with transparent pixels. To solve this problem, you need to use trigonometry. It's a bit complicated... if this ends up being a problem for you (I don't know how you're drawing your bitmaps to the canvas so it might not be), and you can't work out the solution, let me know and I'll post up how I did it.
(I don't know if this is the most efficient way of doing it, but it works smoothly for me as long as the bitmap is less than 300x300 or so. Perhaps if someone knows of a better way, they could tell us!)
Do you want multiple independent animated object? If so, then you should use a game loop. (One master while loop that incrementally updates all game objects.) Here's a good discussion on various loop implementations. (I'm currently using "FPS dependent on Constant Game Speed" for my Android game project.)
So then your Car will look something like this (lots of code missing):
class Car {
final Matrix transform = new Matrix();
final Bitmap image;
Car(Bitmap sprite) {
image = sprite; // Created by BitmapFactory.decodeResource in SurfaceView
}
void update() {
this.transform.preRotate(turnDegrees, width, height);
}
void display(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(this.image, this.transform, null);
}
}
You only need to load your bitmap once. So if you have multiple Cars, you may want to give them each the same Bitmap object (cache the Bitmap in your SurfaceView).
I haven't got into walk animations yet, but the simplest solution is to have multiple Bitmaps and just draw a different bitmap each time display is called.
Have a look at lunarlander.LunarView in the Android docs if you haven't already.
If you want to be notified when the animation is complete, you should make a callback.
interface CompletedTurnCallback {
void turnCompleted(Car turningCar);
}
Have your logic class implement the callback and have your Car call it when the turn's complete (in update()). Note that you'll get a ConcurrentModificationException if you are iterating over a list of Cars in update_game() and you try to remove a Car from that list in your callback. (You can solve this with a command queue.)

How to blit() in android?

I'm used to handle graphics with old-school libraries (allegro, GD, pygame), where if I want to copy a part of a bitmap into another... I just use blit.
I'm trying to figure out how to do that in android, and I got very confused.
So... we have these Canvas that are write-only, and Bitmaps that are read-only? It seems too stupid to be real, there must be something I'm missing, but I really can't figure it out.
edit: to be more precise... if bitmaps are read only, and canvas are write only, I can't blit A into B, and then B into C?
The code to copy one bitmap into another is like this:
Rect src = new Rect(0, 0, 50, 50);
Rect dst = new Rect(50, 50, 200, 200);
canvas.drawBitmap(originalBitmap, src, dst, null);
That specifies that you want to copy the top left corner (50x50) of a bitmap, and then stretch that into a 150x150 Bitmap and write it 50px offset from the top left corner of your canvas.
You can trigger drawing via invalidate() but I recommend using a SurfaceView if you're doing animation. The problem with invalidate is that it only draws once the thread goes idle, so you can't use it in a loop - it would only draw the last frame. Here are some links to other questions I've answered about graphics, they might be of use to explain what I mean.
How to draw a rectangle (empty or filled, and a few other options)
How to create a custom SurfaceView for animation
Links to the code for an app with randomly bouncing balls on the screen, also including touch control
Some more info about SurfaceView versus Invalidate()
Some difficulties with manually rotating things
In response to the comments, here is more information:
If you get the Canvas from a SurfaceHolder.lockCanvas() then I don't think you can copy the residual data that was in it into a Bitmap. But that's not what that control is for - you only use than when you've sorted everything out and you're ready to draw.
What you want to do is create a canvas that draws into a bitmap using
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(yourBitmap)
You can then do whatever transformations and drawing ops you want. yourBitmap will contain all the newest information. Then you use the surface holder like so:
Canvas someOtherCanvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas()
someOtherCanvas.drawBitmap(yourBitmap, ....)
That way you've always got yourBitmap which has whatever information in it you're trying to preserve.
In android you draw to the canvas, and when you want it to update you call invalidate which will the redraw this canvas to the screen. So I'm guessing you have overridden the onDraw method of your view so just add invalidate();
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
// Draw a bitmap to the canvas at 0,0
canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap, 0, 0, null);
// Add in your drawing functions here
super.onDraw(canvas);
// Call invalidate to draw to screen
invalidate();
}
The above code simply redraws the bitmap constantly, of course you want to add in extra thing to draw and consider using a timing function that calls invalidate so that it is not constantly running. I'd advice having a look at the lunarlander sources.
