How can we limit the box with drawRect() to Square in onTouch event

I want to draw a resizable box. It should be a square as I move my finger.
I am using the following code for my android app, for re-sizable box drawing with onTouch Event.
http://chintanrathod.com/resizable-rectangle-overlay-on-touch-in-android/
This code exactly meets my requirement with only one exception. It is not limited square. I want to limit it to square as I move my finger. I have tried to limit the calculations by calculating the delta but haven't got succeed.

I have tried to change the formulas with TOUCH_MOVE and onDraw events by calculating the delta X, but I haven't got any success. Anyone can guide to modify this code will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I am going to relate to the code in the link you described to make it simple:
From what I understand, the balls in organized in these indexes:
0 3
1 2
To keep this simple, I will refer to each ball as their index.
Before setting X and Y of selected Ball, calculate Delta:
if (balID > -1) {
float deltaX = colorballs.get(ballID).getX() - X;
float deltaY = colorballs.get(ballID).getY() - Y;
colorballs.get(balID).setX(X);
colorballs.get(balID).setY(Y);
Now we use delta when we update balls coordinates:
if(balID == 0){ //Top Left ball
colorballs.get(1).setX(colorballs.get(balID).getX());
colorballs.get(2).setX(colorballs.get(2).getX() + deltaY);
colorballs.get(3).setY(colorballs.get(ballID).getY);
colorballs.get(3).setX(colorballs.get(2).getX());
}
If we move ball 0, this happens:
Dragging 0 up
^ ^
|deltaY | moves alongside 0
0 3 --> Expand by deltaY
1 2 --> Expand by deltaY
Dragging 0 right
deltaX
0 --> 3
^
| Reduce Y by delta X
1 --> 2 --> Expand by deltaY
Since moving down will result in negative delta, it will be handled automatically.
This is the basic concept,
You can do the same to rest of the balls as well by simply replacing the indexes in above snippet.

How to plot dots on the pattern in a uniform distance in a canvas

What i have: Using the below code i am able to draw a pattern(Ex: Line) in the canvas.

I am getting output as below:
I am trying to get output as like this:

If I understood you correctly, you're trying to discover certain positions on a given path, then draw dots on them where the distance between each dot should be the same.
You can achieve this using a PathMeasure object. Example:
boolean forceClose = false; //(set to true if you want to close the path or leave it open).
PathMeasure pathMeasure = new PathMeasure(path, forceClose);
float[] position = new float[2];
float[] slope = new float[2]; // slope will give you the tangent of the position on the path. Not sure if you need this.
for (float distance = 0; distance <= 1; distance += 1f / AMOUNT_OF_POINTS) {
pathMeasure.getPosTan(distance, position, slope);
drawDotAtPosition(position[0], position[1]); // you should be able to implement this alone. It should draw a dot at a given x/y.
}
The getPosTan method will give you the position on a given path after a certain ratio of the length has passed. This ratio is defined by AMOUNT_OF_POINTS which you can set to anything for a constant amount of points no matter what the length of the path is, or you could calculate it according to the length of the path:
// this will produce an amount of points equal to 1 point per 10 pixels along the whole path
int amountOfPoints = (int)(pathMeasure.getLength() / 10f);
Hope this helps.

I made this a while back, its not exactly my best work but it worked at the time. Maybe you can use it as a reference.

And yes i do realize this could be made better and that it had poor exception handling. But its just an example.

Draw shape with 4 points and pull angles via user Event Touch(on this points)

I want to make an shape with 4 points,then draw and provide to pull angles for user,via touch Events.
E.g. i have an ImageView,where ill fill with an image taken from gallery/camera(nevermind), after that must appear that Shape with 4 points(i think that each point will be an image as little circle) and user can change angles via touch to this Point.
This points is like coordinate,where i want to get this values and make some kind of Perpesctive.
In others words:
ImageView filled with image -> Appears drawed shape with 4 points
User put this points as he want
When work is done,take this coordinates to make an perspective.
So how can i achieve this? Thanks!!

Finally, this article helped me a lot. Pretty the same(trivial).

How to create a resizable rectangle with user touch events on Android?

I want to create a rectangular shape that will be resized with the touches of the user. Below image is a good example of what i want to do:
Is there any example like that? What do I need to study to implement this?
Thanks in advance,

Chintan Rathod's answer was great solution but there are something wrong when He draws the rectangle. I just edit some lines of code to make it works correctly with user touch event. Now, you can add this view to your layout then touch to draw.

To implement a custom view, you derive a class from View :) Override onDraw() for looks, override onTouchEvent() for input processing. Note that in Android, you cannot draw on view outside onDraw(); if you want to refresh the view, call invalidate().
You can implement draggable corners as separate views. For looks, just use ready-made images (feel free to derive from ImageView). Dragging is implemented as moving your view in response to touch events. RelativeLayout is your friend for arbitrary view positining.
You can add homemade views to the layout; just go to XML editing and type a <com.mypackage.MyViewClass> element.

Following code is to draw rectangle on touch base.

I wasn't happy with the highest rated answers for a couple of reasons.
they were not easily usable as a view in xml--the attributes are missing so the view is not easily recyclable.
it seemed silly to be making bitmaps when dropping in a drawable in xml is easier
they don't account for the edges of the view
they don't prevent inversion of the rectangle by dragging too far to the left or top
they don't account for the offset from the touch position to the center of the corner points
they both depend on a depreciated bitmap method
and most importantly, I couldn't get either of them to actually work
I grant that my solution is specialized to a square view, but it can be adjusted fairly easily to have independent X and Y side lengths.

In your your layout xml:
You must specify a drawable move corner
You must specify a drawable for the resize corners
corner size defaults to 20px
minimumSide must be at least corner size--default value is 20px
You must include the namespace "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" in your root view (I used the alias, xlmn:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto")

The edited answer of Nguyen Minh Binh worked for me. But I needed to add a lite fix to prevent the ball id to get out of range. This occurred for me if I had to reopen the activity hosting the custom view. I fixed these line:
this.id = count++;
to:
if (count > 3) count = 0;
this.id = count++;

The following code is a C# version (I am currently developing app on MonoDroid/Xamarin) of the requested code, but with some improvements and the ability to drag the rectangle. Still want to add some features, will edit it later.
