Getting the bounds when drawing on the canvas in android - android

I am drawing a Drawable to a custom view in android.
When the custom view is displayed the parent is a ScrollView. When the scrollview moves the Drawables shrink until they get off screen and then get bigger as you scroll back to the custom widget even though its explicitly set at 219dip square.
The reason seems to be the way I'm getting the bounds in the onDraw(Canvas canvas) method
int mRight;
int mLeft;
int mBottom;
int mTop;
mRight = canvas.getClipBounds().right;
mLeft = canvas.getClipBounds().left;
mBottom = canvas.getClipBounds().bottom;
mTop = canvas.getClipBounds().top;
int availableWidth = mRight - mLeft;
int availableHeight = mBottom - mTop;
It seems that the ClipBound changes to reflect how much of the view is on the screen. Therefore resize the Drawables until it gets really small and goes off screen.
I tried to replace the code above with this
int availableWidth = canvas.getWidth();
int availableHeight = canvas.getHeight();
Nothing is drawn to the screen now? shouldn't this work?

When drawing my custom Drawable I use:
float w = this.getBounds().width();
float h = this.getBounds().height();
to get the bounding area of the my Drawable in the draw(Canvas canvas)method. I have not tried this in a ScrollView, but I would think that the bounds of the Drawable should work the same either way.
Hope this helps.

This works for my custom View, this code goes in the onDraw(Canvas canvas) method.
mRight = this.getRight();
mLeft = this.getLeft();
mBottom = this.getBottom();
mTop = this.getTop();
int availableWidth = mRight - mLeft;
int availableHeight = mBottom - mTop;
previous answer was wrong, view has no method getBounds()

Drawing a square in the center of a canvas

I'm trying to figure out how to draw a Square within my onDraw method in Android.
The square must be positioned in the exact center of the canvas
(Not the screen)
The padding/spacing on the left and right hand side of the square should be
equal
The padding/spacing on the top and bottom of the square should be equal
The size of the square should be relatively large, about 90% of the
canvas's width
Here's what I have so far.
//this.rect is an instance of Rect() which later gets called in the canvas.drawRect() method
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int width = this.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = this.getMeasuredHeight();
int padding = (width / 10);
this.size = width - padding;
this.rect.set(padding,padding,size,size);
}
The code above draws the square but I'm not sure how to get it to center in the canvas. I am also open to using another technique that does not involve using a Rect.
What properties do I need to set to this Rect() in order for the canvas.drawRect(rect,paint) to draw the rectangle directly in the center of the canvas?
Edit:
Terribly drawn example of what I want to achieve
Assuming width is the width of the canvas, I guess you're missing substracting the padding twice.-
this.size = width - padding * 2;
EDIT
Since we're talking about a rectangle here, you'll need to do some more changes to your code, and calculate different top and left padding .-
int width = this.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = this.getMeasuredHeight();
int paddingLeft = (width / 10);
size = width - paddingLeft * 2;
int paddingTop = (height - size) / 2;
this.rect.set(paddingLeft,paddingTop,size,size);
EDIT 2
Maybe a clearer approach would start calculating the size of your square.-
size = width * 0.9f;
int paddingLeft = (width - size) / 2;
int paddingTop = (height - size) / 2;
this.rect.set(paddingLeft,paddingTop,size,size);

I have a triangle image whose one edge is always in the same direction as the circle.
This image has to be moved around the circle based on user swipe/drag. So, it has to both rotate (so that it's edge is in same direction as the circle) and at the same time revolve around the circle.
How to implement this feature?
UPDATE: My custom View is as follows:
public class ThermoView extends FrameLayout{
private ImageView mThermoBgrd;
private ImageView mCurTempArrow;
public static final int THEMROSTAT_BACKGROUND = 0;
public static final int THEMROSTAT_CURR_TEMP = 1;
public ThermostatView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
mThermoBgrd = new ImageView(context);
mThermoBgrd.setImageResource(R.drawable.circle_icon);
addView(mThermoBgrd, ThermostatView.THEMROSTAT_BACKGROUND);
mCurTempArrow = new ImageView(context);
mCurTempArrow.setImageResource(R.drawable.ruler_triangle_icon);
mCurTempArrow.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.MATRIX);
addView(mCurTempArrow, ThermostatView.THEMROSTAT_CURR_TEMP, new LayoutParams(50, 50));
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right,
int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
int currTempHeight = mCurTempArrow.getMeasuredHeight();
int currTempWidth = mCurTempArrow.getMeasuredWidth();
int parentWidth = right - left;
int parentHeight = bottom - top;
int padding = currTempHeight;
//We need square container for the circle.
int containerLeft = padding;
int containerTop = parentHeight - parentWidth + padding;
int containerRight = parentWidth - padding;
int containerBottom = parentHeight - padding;
int containerWidth = containerRight - containerLeft;
int containerHeight = containerBottom - containerTop;
//place the arrow indicating current temperature
int curTempLeft = containerRight - ((containerWidth/2) + currTempWidth/2);
int curTempTop = containerTop - (currTempHeight/2);
int curTempRight = curTempLeft + currTempWidth;
int curTempBottom = curTempTop + currTempHeight;
mCurTempArrow.layout(curTempLeft, curTempTop, curTempRight, curTempBottom);
}
try this (it uses Paths instead of Bitmaps but the idea is the same):
public class MyView extends View {
private Paint mPaint;
private Path mTriangle;
private Path mCircle;
private Matrix mMatrix;
private float mAngle;
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(10);
mPaint.setStyle(Style.STROKE);
mTriangle = new Path();
mTriangle.moveTo(0, -21);
mTriangle.lineTo(0, 21);
mTriangle.lineTo(36, 0);
mTriangle.close();
mCircle = new Path();
mCircle.addCircle(0, 0, 50, Direction.CW);
mMatrix = new Matrix();
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float w2 = getWidth() / 2f;
float h2 = getHeight() / 2f;
mAngle = (float) (180 * Math.atan2(event.getY() - h2, event.getX() - w2) / Math.PI);
invalidate();
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
float w2 = getWidth() / 2f;
float h2 = getHeight() / 2f;
mMatrix.reset();
mMatrix.postTranslate(w2, h2);
canvas.concat(mMatrix);
mPaint.setColor(0xaaff0000);
canvas.drawPath(mCircle, mPaint);
mMatrix.reset();
mMatrix.postTranslate(60, 0);
mMatrix.postRotate(mAngle);
canvas.concat(mMatrix);
mPaint.setColor(0xaa00ff00);
canvas.drawPath(mTriangle, mPaint);
}
}
Since I don't know if you are using open GL or a standard canevas, I can't really give you some working code. But the general idea is (assuming you have the current position of the triangle (x, y) stored, and the center of your circle (cx, cy) stored.
Do the following:
v = (cx-x, cy-y) // v is the normal vector of your triangle: it faces the center of the circle
triangle.translate(v) // translate to the center of the circle
triangle.rotate(angle) // rotate the triangle on itself
v.rotate(angle) // apply the same rotation on the normal vector
triangle.translate(-v) // translate back on the circle, but since v is rotated, the position will be updated
I hope it is clear enough, good luck
EDIT:
First, you should really try to be more accurate: in your first post, you didn't say that the triangle was an image (that's important). Then you don't say what is your current rendering, what works, what doesn't. I would be easier to help you to know what your program currently display.
From your code, I assume you place the triangle image properly , but it is not rotated. So first, try to add
//place the arrow indicating current temperature
int curTempLeft = containerRight - ((containerWidth/2) + currTempWidth/2);
int curTempTop = containerTop - (currTempHeight/2);
int curTempRight = curTempLeft + currTempWidth;
int curTempBottom = curTempTop + currTempHeight;
mCurTempArrow.setRotate(angle); // rotate the image. angle is in degrees
mCurTempArrow.layout(curTempLeft, curTempTop, curTempRight, curTempBottom);
If you don't know the angle, you might have to compute it from the previous position of the triangle

how to get bounds of a scaled view?

It seems that setScaleX or setScaleY don't actually change left,top,right,bottom properties. getX and getY remain unchanged too.
So if I scale a view whats the easiest way to get 4 corner coordinates of the newly scaled view?
I tried getHitRect but that doesn't give me the right answer. I am trying to avoid manually calculating the new bounds based on existing transformations (rotation and scale with pivots factored in).
After exploring the view api, it looks like there is no direct API method that does this.
However you can easily get the new points by grabbing the transform matrix of the view and using that to get the new bounds.
Something like this:
Matrix m = view.getMatrix();
Rect bbox = new Rect();
view.getDrawingRect(bbox);
m.mapRect(bbox);
If you want to operate on (x,y) coordiantes directly there is a matrix.mapPoints that will achieve the same result.
I believe if you get the width and height and multiply it by the scales, you'll get the scaled width and height.
int scaledWidth = getWidth() * getScaleX();
int scaledHeight = getHeight() * getScaleY();
int newLeft = getLeft() + (scaledWidth / 2);
int newRight = newLeft + scaledWidth;
int newTop = getTop() + (scaledHeight / 2);
int newBottom = newTop + scaledHeight;
This is assuming that you scaled with a pivot x and y at the center of the view. Things gets far more complicated if you have pivots in strange areas.

Android - getting the dimensions of a view in order to position it

I've got a tiled pan-n-zoom component that uses several FrameLayouts to position image tiles (that scale), markers (that move, but don't scale) and controls (which neither move nor scale). It works fine.
Markers are positioned in a FrameLayout with topMargin and leftMargin. So far so good.
When a marker is touched, I need to open a little popup, at the same position as the marker that was touched but offset by the dimensions of the popup. That's to say that if the popup is 100 pixels wide and 50 pixels tall, and the marker touched was at 800 x and 1100 y, the popup should be at 750 x (postion of marker minus half the width of the popup) and 1050 y (position of the marker minus the full height of the popup). The effect is like a tooltip - a little nub points down at the marker, etc.
The popup dimensions are flexible, based on the text to be displayed, and need to be calculated.
Obviously the dimensions aren't available until after layout happens. What's the best way to get these dimensions and react accordingly?
(should mention that a RelativeLayout is not an option)
TYIA.
/EDIT
looks like I can get the dimensions of the children in onMeasure and onLayout, but re-applying a new layout in one of these handlers would create an infinite loop - setting a flag to catch just the first pass did not work. i guess the updated question would be "now that I know where I can get the information, how should I react and position it?"
the answer is to manage positioning by override onLayout of the containing ViewGroup, rather than the View itself.
E.g.,
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() != GONE) {
MyCustomLayout.LayoutParams lp = (MyCustomLayout.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
int w = child.getMeasuredWidth();
int h = child.getMeasuredHeight();
int x = lp.left - (int) (w / 2f);
int y = lp.top - h;
child.layout(x, y, x + w, y + h);
}
}
}
(note that the above example specifically is untested, but i've tested the premise and it works)

Android Canvas.drawCircle in the center of the screen

I am using Canvas.drawCircle to draw a circle in Android laout.
Method gets 3 parameters - first two are position - x and y.
Is it possible to skip hardcoded position of the circle and draw it centered ?
Following code can be used to get the width and height of the screen.
int width = this.getWidth();
int height = this.getHeight();
To draw circle in the middle of screen you can call :
Canvas.drawCircle(width/2, height/2)
You can paint a circle centered to the screen like this:
Display disp = ((WindowManager)this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
canvas.drawCircle(disp.getWidth()/2, disp.getHeight()/2, radius, paint);
Assuming you are extending the View class:
int CentreX = (this.getWidth() / 2);
int CentreY = (this.getHeight() / 2);
