I have some images (.png format) that I use as drawables on the surface of canvas in my android app. The problem I have is mspaint only allows a rectangular image file, so whatever I draw on the screen always shows up in a box. Is there a (free) program or way I can edit the png files so that when they are drawn on the surface of my canvas, they are drawn to shape?

Is it possible to convert a Canvas to Drawable?I may be really off in my solution, so if you have a better suggestion, please do tell me. This is what I'm trying to do.I'm trying to create a custom RadioButton. to set different states of the radio button, I need to use this parameter and one of the parameter to addState is Drawable. I know I can easily provide an image file and use it as a Drawable, but I want to do some image manipulation to the image before using it.There is a tutorial in ApiDemo called AlphaBitmap. It uses the onDraw method of a View to change a PNG file to full red and draw something with a gradient. So I customized it to shade an icon with gradient. So the problem now is that this is a View, and the View works perfectly fine if I add this View to the main view. But i want to convert this View to Drawable so I can use it as one of the parameter in addState. What I really want to achieve is to have different colour shades for different state of the RadioButton without providing different images to do so.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a SurfaceView that is being used to draw custom animations and I would like to overlay them onto a live-feed from the phone's camera. Currently, the SurfaceView that contains the animations has a white- background, but if I were to overlay them onto the phone's camera feed, they would have to be transparent. The camera and animation drawing cannot be done on the same SurfaceView. Is it possible to make a SurfaceView transparent? What is the best course to pursue the use of multiple views? My end goal is to essentially overlay the contents of another SurfaceView onto the Camera SurfaceView.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to animate drawables on a canvas using the android built-in animation classes?
Ive been modeling my test application, a game, after the example apps lunarlander and jetboy. They contain a lot of reusable code, but they manually update the drawable objects in real time. It seems like using the android animation built ins would be so much easier since they provide the type of animation I need¦a simple linear movement.
Is there a way to do this, or am I better off updating my canvas in real time much like the example apps.
If there is a way, could anyone get me started with some sample code? I am currently inheriting SurfaceView in my class.
Or does it merely provide more options for graphics?

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here.
Android framework has variety of icons and images - accessible as R.drawable.* - that can be used by applications for common tasks. Their names give some hint about what they are, but in many cases that's not sufficient. One has to use trial-n-error to find the right icon that fits one's purpose.
My question: Is there a way where I can preview all these images in one place, so that I can quickly decide which ones to use? I have looked inside android source code, but couldn't locate the root of these drawables.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am presently using the following piece of code to load in images as drawable objects form a URL.
Drawable drawable_from_url(String url, String src_name) throws java.net.MalformedURLException, java.io.IOException { return Drawable.createFromStream(((java.io.InputStream)new java.net.URL(url).getContent()), src_name); }
This code works exactly as wanted, but there appears to be compatibility problems with it. In version 1.5, it throws a FileNotFoundException when I give it a URL. In 2.2, given the exact same URL, it works fine. The following URL is an sample input I am giving this function.

I am getting an error from Eclipse when I use this xml file (res / drawable/btnswitch.xml) to designate different button conditions
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_rd" />
<!-- pressed --> <item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_gr" /> <!-- focused --> <item android:drawable="@drawable/btn_st_gr" /> <!-- default --> </selector>
I call it in my layout file with this code:
<Button android:id="@+id/startTimer_btn" android:src="@drawable/btnswitch"" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
Eclipse says it can't run the configuration because I have errors but does not show any errors. And when I remove the xml code (to go back to my original code which just sets a background image for the Button) it says that now has errors. I have to restart Eclipse to get the original code to run again.
I was working on Android 1.5, but now moved to the latest version. So there is only "drawable" folder in Android 1.5, but now There are 3 different folder for storing images in android project. And as i have found some articles for these 3 folders that
hdpi means High-dpi
mdpi means medium-dpi
ldpi means low-dpi
But still in confusion that what is the exact purpose of these 3 folders and when to use particular folder to store images in that?
I recently rebuilt my project to target 2.2 from 2.1. In the old project, I did not specify a target SDK (the manifest did not contain something like:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />).
This gave me an error in the console when running, but everything worked fine so I didn't fool with it.
The new project now uses <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /> in the manifest. But now my drawables from the /drawable-nodpi/ folder are loading with scaling, making them much smaller and significantly changing the desired visuals. If I cut out the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /> tag from my manifest, they load properly without scaling.
Even when loading my images like so:
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inScaled = false; Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(_resources, resId, opts);
They are still scaled when I declare the minimum SDK in the manifest, but not scaled if I remove that tag. How can I load them without scaling while still declaring the minimum SDK?

I have a small project in which I download images from Internet in the form of drawable and use them in Imageview for which I have provided functionality similar to an Imagebutton but without the gray edges. The question is that is there any functionality in Android (similar to IPhone) by which we can crop the drawable from edges to make them rounded edged drawable. Even if its a "not-tested-neither-recommended" method, do let me know. I would like to work on this a bit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan I have sub-folders to hold my drawable resources. For example can I store an image in, say, 'res/drawable/content/images/myimage.jpg' and then find that resource via a call to:
id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("com.mycompany.myprog:drawable/ content/images/myimage", null, null);
I have tried this and it doesn't seem to be working (but I may have something wrong). Is it supposed to work or do all the resources need to be in the root drawable folder? Also, are jpeg files supported and drawable resources?
I need a small help on rotating one image around its center of axis among multiple images which are drawn to canvas in android.

I am trying to move a set of images currently in the resources/drawable-hdpi folder to the Assets folder.
These images are copied to the private application directory when the app is installed.
When I do this the resulting image is smaller than when I had the image in the resources folder. i.e. the baked beans image is smaller than the others. If I load the baked beans images from the drawables folder it is the same size as the other product images.
I have tried to scale the image but it has no effect.

I am working on a graphics application in Android. I have a question regarding MULTIPLE SURFACE VIEWS. Can I be rendering multiple surface views at the same time. Initially, when I had two surface views in the same activity, it didn't seem to work, as it used to show only one at any time. But, with one surface view attached to one activity, is there any way I can keep the background activity's Surface View alive so that both the surfaces get rendered together?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm basically using the same method of loading bitmaps in OpenGL that the SpriteMethodTest example uses and have been unable to get rid of an annoying outline that appears around all of my images.
For example, If I were to load an image of a white circle on a white background, I would expect to see nothing. Instead, I would see my circle because its edge would be gray. In SpriteMethodTest, I replaced the background image with white and was able to see that the edges of the android images flying around also don't seem to be rendered correctly.
Does anyone know how to load images in OpenGL without having a thin outline appear around the images?
