MPAndroid - snapping x position when scrolling

After few hours of trying I'm looking for some hints on how to add snap-scroll mechanism to MPAndroid. Basically I want the 5 visible bars to align so they are fully visible and centered. I now imported the library source code because it looks like there's no other way to change the code in computeScroll (BarLineChartTouchListener).
Edit:
To clarify - I'm showing around 20 bars but chart is zoomed so user can scroll horizontally. What bothers me it is not getting aligned automatically so first visible bar might be clipped in half. I'm looking for snapping effect where it will round the position to the nearest multiplication of the bar width, leaving 5 fully visible bars.

I ended up adding the following function in BarLineChartBase.java. I know it's far from elegant, but seems to do the job. It's limited to targetApi > 11, because of the ValueAnimator. For lower API (which I don't cater for) you might need to have a look at nineoldandroids or some other animation loop technique.
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
public void alignX() {
int count = this.getValueCount();
int xIndex = this.getLowestVisibleXIndex() + Math.round( (this.getHighestVisibleXIndex() - this.getLowestVisibleXIndex()) / 2.0f );
float xsInView = this.getXAxis().getValues().size() / this.getViewPortHandler().getScaleX();
Transformer mTrans = this.getTransformer(YAxis.AxisDependency.LEFT);
float[] pts = new float[] { xIndex - xsInView / 2f, 0 };
mTrans.pointValuesToPixel(pts);
final Matrix save = new Matrix();
save.set(this.getViewPortHandler().getMatrixTouch());
final float x = pts[0] - this.getViewPortHandler().offsetLeft();
final int frames = 20;
ValueAnimator valueAnimator = new ValueAnimator().ofInt(0, frames);
valueAnimator.setDuration(500);
valueAnimator.addUpdateListener(new ValueAnimator.AnimatorUpdateListener() {
int prev = -1;
#Override
public void onAnimationUpdate(ValueAnimator animation) {
if( (int) animation.getAnimatedValue() > prev ) {
save.postTranslate( -x / (float)frames, 0);
BarLineChartBase.this.getViewPortHandler().refresh(save, BarLineChartBase.this, true);
}
prev = (int) animation.getAnimatedValue();
}
});
valueAnimator.start();
}
I trigger it at the end of computeScroll function in BarLineChartTouchListener.
I kept names of variables as I copied code from functions like MoveViewJob, ViewPortHandler etc. Since it's only aligning in x axis - I removed Y axis calculations and used zeros instead. Any optimizations welcome, especially from the author #PhilippJahoda.

Get the real X/Y position of an onTouch Event

I know there are some similar topics that have been posted, but I couldn’t find a good solution for my problem.
I have a GridView which is filed with a custom ImageAdapter. Everything works fine, but whenever I click on an image contained in the GridView, I would like to move another Imageview at the click's position.
However, the coordinates of the Event, that I take with event.getX() and event.getY(), don’t correspond to the click’s position.
I first thought of a problem of dp/px conversion, and I tried several solutions in this way but none of them worked.
Then I tried to use the getXPrecision(), but I couldn’t make a working solution…
Maybe there is another way?
I would like to make the correct position programmatically, without adding constants int, so my project will work on various phone and tablet, with different dp and resolutions.
EDIT : Here is a screenshot, where i clicked the 3rd cell of the first line, and setted the position of the pencil with getRawX() - getRawY(). As we can see, this is not the correct position, I want the red dot (imageview's center) to be positionned where i clicked.
The code used :
//getting the position of the onTouch event :
GridView centre = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView);
adapter = new ImageAdapter(this, (dim * dim), tailleCell);
centre.setAdapter(adapter);
centre.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
int X = (int)event.getRawX();
int Y = (int)event.getRawY();
animation(X, Y, etat);
return false;
}
});`
//launching the animation (and setting position of the pencil) :
private void animation(int posX, int posY, int etat)
{
final ImageView img;
if(etat == 0)
{
img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
}
else
{
img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
}
img.clearAnimation();
img.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
img.setX(posX);
img.setY(posY);
[...]
}
EDIT 2 : ~Solution :
Jesus Molina Rodríguez De Vera's solution wasn't working as expected, but i managed to make a workable solution. I just changed my code in the Event Handler to adjust the image's position :
int[] offset = new int[2];
centre.getLocationOnScreen(offset);
int Xoffset=offset[0];
int Yoffset = offset[1];
int X = (int)event.getRawX();
int Y = (int)event.getRawY();
animation(X-((int)Math.round(Xoffset/1.15)), Y-((int)Math.round(Yoffset/1.5)), etat);
Sorry for my bad English :)
Thanks for your help!

Try using getRawX() and getRawY() instead of getX and getY.
Edit
I think that i have found the problem.
You are obtaining X and Y relative to the GridView top-left corner, not to the absolute screen coordinetes.
What you can do is the following:
int[] offset = new int[2];
center.getLocationOnScreen(offset);
int Xoffset=offset[0];
int Yoffset = offset[1];
private void animation(int posX, int posY, int etat){
//...
img.setX(posX+Xoffset);
img.setY(posY+Yoffset);
[...]
}
This is supposed to set the the top-left corner of the ImageView in the selected point. In order to set the center in that point:
int ivWidth = img.getWidth();
int ivHeight = img.getHeight();
private void animation(int posX, int posY, int etat){
//...
int[] finalPosition=new int[2];
finalPosition[0] = posX+Xoffset-(ivWidth/2);
finalPosition[1] = posY+Yoffset-(ivHeight/2);
img.setX(finalPosition[0]);
img.setY(finalPosition[1]);
[...]
}
I haven't try it but it should work.
Edit 2
Xoffset and Yoffset are only needed if you use getX()/getY() instead of getRawX()/getRawY()

Is There any way to Predict x and y location from one screen size to another?

i am developing an android app, about joining dots and making picture.
so far i can't find a way to extract exact x and y coordinates of black dots . so I've hard coded x and y locations to draw point on exact black dot of image. It worked wonderful on 1152*720 size ,but problem occurs when i tested it on 480*600 size , dots misplaced from there exact location , now
My Question is if I've written something like :
x = 100 ,
y = 200
(on screen 1152*720)
what will be x and y values in different screen sizes like 480*600 and how to calculate it ? i know it is silly question but i am new to this stuff.

Answering your question as you have asked it...
int oldScreenX // The current x coord
int newScreenX // The new x coord
...
float oldScreenSizeX = 1152.0f;
float newScreenSizeX = 600.0f;
newScreenX = (int)(oldScreenX / oldScreenSizeX) * newScreenSizeX; // Remember to cast the result back to an int
Do the same for y.
Additional:
Perhaps you should reconsider your approach.
The real problem is how do you put the dot in the same location on the Image, if the Image is being drawn at a different size. So forget about measuring the screen size. Measure the Image size instead.
For example, if you are showing your image in an ImageView, you could write a general scaling method like the following:
public int scaleCoordinate(int unscaledImageSize, int scaledImageSize, int unscaledCoordinate) {
scaledCoordinate = (int)(unscaledCoordinate / unscaledImageSize) * scaledImageSize; // Remember to cast the result back to an int
return scaledCoordinate;
}
Then you can use it in your code, something like:
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.my_imageview);
Drawable drawable = image.getDrawable();
// Get the original size of the bitmap
int unscaledSizeX = drawable.getIntrinsicWidth();
// Get the current size it is being drawn at on the screen
int scaledSizeX = imageView.getWidth();
int scaledCoordinateX = scaleCoordinate(unscaledSizeX, scaledSizeX, unscaledCoordinateX);
NOTE:
The ImageView needs to be measured and laid out by the system before calling the above code. If you call it too early imageView.getWidth() will return 0.
It would be best to call the above code once the ImageView is actually displayed on the screen (from your onResume() or later).

I was done this, while studying java may be it will be helpful for you.
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;
public class DrawLineOnGivenLocations extends Applet implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener{
int x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 0, y2 = 0;
public void init() {
addMouseListener(this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
}
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me) {
// show status
showStatus("Moving mouse at " + me.getX() + ", " + me.getY());
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) {
// save coordinates
x1 = me.getX();
y1 = me.getY();
x2 = me.getX();
y2 = me.getY();
repaint();
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawLine(x1,y1 ,x2, y2);
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent arg0) {}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
//repaint();
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {}
}

How do I set visibility of each shape in the array for a given amount of time?

So I am using the libgdx framework and am new to android games development. I have an array of yellow circle objects stored in each index which are shown on the game screen when I run them, all the circle objects are in different x positions but on the same y axis. I want to basically set the visibility of each circle for a given amount of time before the next one becomes visible for say 1000 ms per circle. So for example circle 1 will be visible for 1000 ms then it will become invisible and circle 2 will then become visible for 1000ms so on and so forth, till I reach the end of the list.
public class Spot {
private float x;
private float y;
private float radius;
private Circle spot;
private Circle spotList[];
public Spot(float x, float y, float radius, int amount){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.radius = radius;
spot = new Circle(x,y,radius);
spotList = new Circle[amount];
for(int i = 0; i < spotList.length; i++){
spotList[i] = new Circle(this.x+(i*15), this.y, this.radius);
}
}
public void update(float delta){
}
public Float getX(){
return x;
}
public Float getY(){
return y;
}
public float getRadius(){
return radius;
}
public Circle[] getSpots(){
return spotList;
}
public Circle getSpot(){
return spot;
}
}
The rendering of the shape has been outsourced to a different class I want to be able to handle the visibility of the circles etc in the update method.

Since you're not using Actors (https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Scene2d), you need to keep track of time yourself and make the circles visible/not visible.
You will want to add
private float elapsedTime = 0.0f;
private float currentCircle = 0;
two fields, one for keeping track of elapsed time and one for the currently visible circle.
public void update(float delta){
elapsedTime += delta;
if (elapsedTime >= 1.0f) { // more than one second passed
spot[currentCircle].setVisible(false);
if (currentCircle + 1 < spotList.size()) {
currentCircle++;
spot[currentCircle].setVisible(true);
elapsedTime -= 1.0f; // reset timer (don't just set to 0.0f to avoid time shifts)
}
}
}
In the update method, count elapsedTime and if more then one seconds passed, make old circle not visible and new circle visible. Also make sure that initially the first circle is visible and that the timer is 0.

A possible solution is to use the Universal Tween Engine which works well with the libGDX framework. Visit the link to see how to include it in your project and for documentation.
As a quick demonstration on how to use it:-
Create and instantiate a TweenManager and your array of Spots in your class responsible for rendering.
protected TweenManager tweenManager = new TweenManager();
Spot spots[] = new Spot[...];
...
Create your timer by implementing the TweenCallback()
final int numberOfSpots = 5;
int spotArrayIndex = 0;
float timeDelay = 1000f; /*1000 milliseconds*/
Tween.call(new TweenCallback() {
#Override
public void onEvent(int type, BaseTween<?> source) {
/*set or unset the visibility of your Spot objects here i.e. */
spots[spotArrayIndex++].setVisible(false); /*Set current spot invisible*/
spots[spotArrayIndex].setVisible(true); /*Set next spot to be visible*/
}
}).repeat(numberOfSpots, timeDelay).start(tweenManager);
Update the tweenManager in your render method
public void render(float delta) {
...
tweenManger.update(delta);
...
}
Please check the code for errors if you use it, as I am not sure of the rest of your code.

Flip horizontally like flipboard with MuPDF

I have implemented the MuPDf in android to open,view,search,setting bookmarks etc for a PDF. Now i want the animation effect of horizontal flip i.e. similar to be like used in the FlipBoard Application in horizontal manner.
I also need to know that how can i highlight the Search Text. I am using Librelio's code
I have gone through the links Like:
Link 1
Please help.

I also need to know that how can i highlight the Search Text.
PageView.java of MuPDF:
private static final int HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = 0x802572AC; //adjust the color
...//some code of PageView.java
public void setPage(int page, PointF size) {
...//code of PageView.setPage(int page, PointF size)
// this is the part where the hightlighting happens
if (!mIsBlank && mSearchBoxes != null) {
paint.setColor(HIGHLIGHT_COLOR);
for (RectF rect : mSearchBoxes)
canvas.drawRect(rect.left*scale, rect.top*scale,
rect.right*scale, rect.bottom*scale, paint);
// you can customize it, e.g.
// int margin = 5
//canvas.drawRect((rect.left - margin) * scale, (rect.top - margin) * scale,
//(rect.right + margin) * scale, (rect.bottom + margin) * scale, paint);
}
}
to start a search, just invoke:
new SearchTask(context, mupdfCore).go("searchText", 1, 0, -1);
