Is it possible to pass arguments to an Android Handler?? I have two pieces of code.
new Thread(){
public void run(){
for(;;){
uiCallback.sendEmptyMessage(0);
Thread.sleep(2000); //sleep for 2 seconds
}
}
}.start();
private Handler uiCallback = new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
//add a new blossom to the blossom ArrayList!!
blossomArrayList.add(new Blossom(context, R.drawable.blossom));
}
};
I of course get an error because the Handler method cannot see my context. This is probably because of this piece of code
public BoardView(Context context){
super(context);
Context is not visible elsewhere, and I'm wondering if I can pass it as an argument to my Handler.
EDIT: I am posting the two main pieces of code to answer a question about why my Blossom object needs context. I myself am not 100% sure >.> Maybe you could have a look and see what's going on.
public class Blossom{
private Bitmap blossom;
private float blossomX = 0;
private float blossomY = 0;
private Random generator = new Random();
public Blossom(Context context, int drawable)
{
blossom = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), drawable);
blossomX = generator.nextInt(300);
}
public Bitmap getBitmap()
{
return blossom;
}
public float getBlossomX()
{
return blossomX;
}
public float getBlossomY()
{
return blossomY;
}
public void Fall(Canvas canvas, float boxY)
{
//draws the flower falling
canvas.drawBitmap(blossom, blossomX,
blossomY = blossomY+3 , null);
//collision detection, currently not working after
//implementing random start location
//if(blossomY + 29 == boxY)
//{
//canvas.drawBitmap(blossom,0,0,null);
//}
}
}
public class BoardView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
Context mContext;
Bitmap box =
(BitmapFactory.decodeResource
(getResources(), R.drawable.box));
private BoardThread thread;
private float box_x = 140;
private float box_y = 378;
private float boxWidth = box.getWidth();
private float boxHeight = box.getHeight();
private ArrayList<Blossom> blossomArrayList = new ArrayList<Blossom>();;
boolean mode = false;
RectF boxRect = new RectF(box_x,box_y, box_x + boxWidth, box_y + boxHeight);
public BoardView(Context context){
super(context);
//surfaceHolder provides canvas that we draw on
getHolder().addCallback(this);
// controls drawings
thread = new BoardThread(getHolder(),this);
//pass variables to instance of Blossom
//for(int i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
//{
//blossomArrayList.add(new Blossom(context, R.drawable.blossom));
//}
new Thread(){
public void run(){
for(;;){
uiCallback.sendEmptyMessage(0);
Thread.sleep(2000); //sleep for 2 seconds
}
}
}.start();
//intercepts touch events
setFocusable(true);
}
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
//draw box and set start location
canvas.drawBitmap(box, box_x - (boxWidth/2),
box_y - (boxHeight/2), null);
for(int i = 0; i<= 3; i++)
{
blossomArrayList.get(i).Fall(canvas, box_y);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event){
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
if(boxRect.contains(event.getX(),event.getY())){
mode = true;
}
}
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
if(boxRect.contains(event.getX(),event.getY())){

}
if(mode == true){
box_x = (int)event.getX();
boxRect.set(box_x,box_y, box_x + boxWidth, box_y + boxHeight);
}
}
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){
mode = false;
}
invalidate();
return true;
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,
int format, int width, int height ){
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder){
thread.startRunning(true);
thread.start();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder){
thread.startRunning(false);
thread.stop();
}
private Handler uiCallback = new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message msg){
//add a new blossom to the blossom ArrayList!!
blossomArrayList.add(new Blossom(context, R.drawable.blossom));
}
};
}
Create a class that extends Handler, and store a weak reference to the context. This will help prevent some memory issues.
public class SomeHandler extends Handler {
// A weak reference to the enclosing context
private WeakReference<Context> mContext;
public SomeHandler (Context context) {
mContext = new WeakReference<Context>(context);
}
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// Get an actual reference to the DownloadActivity
// from the WeakReference.
Context context=mContext.get();
...
}
}
What if you create a subclass which extends Handler? That way you could pass any parameters you want.
But just out of curiosity, why does the Blossom object require the context object? It's usually best to separate your logic from GUI dependencies.

I am running into an issue in my app. When my game ends (when life == 0) I am attempting to switch to a game over screen by using a different activity. When the game ends, the app simply crashes. I have included the XML for the activity I am trying to switch from as well as indicating where the app crashes. If anyone could help out, that would be great! Thanks.

I think logcat is asking you the right question: "have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml" ?
If you think you did it, It's highly probable you did it in a wrong way, most of the times that you think you added an Activity to the manifest but you are receiving this kind of crash, 99,9% of the time you declared it with a wrong namespace
Declare SVGameOver activity in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
android:name="com.example.welcome.assignment2.SVGameOver">
...
</activity>
I know this may seem like a noob question but I've tried everything. I want to animate a number incrementing. So I set up a view. I made a thread inside the view that loops a certain amount of times. In the loop I call Thread.sleep and then I increment a number. However I'm not sure how to call the invalidate() method to update the view each time it goes through the loop. I've tried a callback but that isn't working. Your help would be appreciated. What I'm trying to increment is the 'centerText' which is drawn using textPaint

Anything invoked within

Will implicitly run on a non-UI thread. If you want to touch the UI, the code for that task must be forced to run on the UI thread like this:
context.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
updateUI(count+"");
}
});
I am a newbie in android and started with livewallpaper development using Wallpaper Engine. My problem is the run() method inside Runnable is not called dont know why.... Am I missing something?
Here is my code:
public class Hearts extends WallpaperService {
public static boolean LANDSCAPE;
public static Paint backgroundPaint;
public static Point backgroundSize;
public static Point globalCanvasSize;
public static boolean landscapeMode = false;
public static int maxScreenSize;
Bitmap background;
private final Handler mHandler = new Handler();
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
public WallpaperService.Engine onCreateEngine() {
return new HeartsEngine();
}
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
class HeartsEngine extends Engine {
private final int amountOfFlakes = 40;
private final Paint backgroundPaint = new Paint();
private Canvas c;
public Flake[] flakeArray = new Flake[40];
final SurfaceHolder holder = getSurfaceHolder();
private final Runnable mDrawCube = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Log.d("tag", "Inside Run Called");
drawFrame();
}
};
float mXOffset;
float mYOffset;
private float oldScreen;
Random random = new Random();
Resources res = Hearts.this.getResources();
HeartsEngine() {
super();
Log.d("tag", "Constructyor");
}
void drawFrame() {
Log.d("tag", "drawFrame");
this.oldScreen -= this.mXOffset;
Flake.scrollSpeed = 48.0F * this.oldScreen;
this.oldScreen = this.mXOffset;
this.c = null;
this.c = this.holder.lockCanvas();
try {
if (this.c != null)
this.c.drawBitmap(Hearts.this.background, 0.0F, 0.0F, null);
for (int i = 0;; i++) {
if (i >= 40) {
this.holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(this.c);
Hearts.this.mHandler.postDelayed(this.mDrawCube, 16L);
}
this.flakeArray[i].updateFlake(this.random, this.res,
this.c);
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException localIllegalArgumentException) {
// break label94;
localIllegalArgumentException.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
You call drawFrame() only inside the mDrawCube Runnable. So there is no a first time call for the drawFrame() method

I also have ViewThread, just my animation thread, and GraphicsElement, which defines the moving object. My animation is going very slow(on touch), and I think it has something to do with my .sleep() method. Could anyone please help me ?
Edit: I'm using .sleep() because I don't want to flood TouchEvents.
i'm trying to get it like: Check for TouchEvent, Sleep, Check for TouchEvent, Sleep.. etc...
I've had the same issues with touch slowing things down and ended up with a similar approach to yours (sleeping the UI thread on touch events, as recommended by a Google game developer). The thing that seemed to help me was playing with the length of the sleep time. Try increasing it to 70 ms or even more and see if that helps. Most apps don't need a super high sample rate for touch input.
Firstly, you should initialize your Panel inside your onCreate() method.
Panel p = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
p = new Panel(this);
setContentView(p);
}
Secondly, I do not understand why you are doing a sleep in your onTouchEvent() handler. Try taking that out, and things should speed up, especially if you think that may be the cause!
