My loadMap() method generate a canvas.throwIfRecycled exception when i try to load a new map.
When i start the game, the initial map loads and work fine though,
its only when i try to load a new map that i get the exception ..
How can i "reset" canvas and the bitmap i use to draw into, so i can startover fresh with them ?
here's what i use to create and draw my maps:
CODE:.........
So basicaly once i created and used picDest and canvas, i cannot figure how to reset it all for when i want to load a new map..
I'm making an App that needs to be able to draw new graphics on top of the last set.
This is my current onDraw() method -
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
if(points.size() > 0) {
//do some stuff here - this is all working ok
canvas.drawLine(p1.x, p1.y, p2.x, p2.y, linePaint);
}
}
Basically, I need to draw the new graphics as a layer on top of the last, so what I'm looking for is a way to carry the image of the last canvas to the current. I have tried to figure it out myself using the canvas.setBitmap() method but it acts very funny.
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 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to draw a nine patch onto a Canvas object on the Android. What seems strange is that although I generated my nine patch using the draw9patch tool, the constructor for NinePatch requires an additional byte array called the "chunk" to construct the nine patch. Why isn't this simpler? What is the "chunk"? And if you have done this yourself, how did you go about it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst I want to say that I have read many articles on this subject in this forum and on some external resources(very helpful was Robert Green's diary at www.rbgrn.net and www.droidnova.com).
However, despite all of this I want to start topic regarding FPS, and ask for advice from experienced game developers on Android platform.
My main question is "How to improve FPS when draw on Canvas?"
I have implemented simple 2D arcade game skeleton for testing purpose. Now I have ~20 FPS and want to increase this value to 40-50 FPS, if this is possible of course. I know about Open GL ES, but so far I am interested in Canvas.
In every frame I draw following stuff on the screen: - Canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK) - to clear the screen - 1 spaceship PNG 24x24 image 1.25 kb - 5 asteroids PNG 64x64 image ~8 kb each - from 1 to 30 bullets PNG 8x8 image 299 b - 4 30x30 Rectangles - to control objects on the screen
After running my app, in logcat I can see following output data: - Average FPS: 20 (Total frames drawn: 1945 in 97 seconds) - Average onDraw: 32 ms (clear canvas: 3, draw game stuff: 26, draw controls: 1) - Average updatePhysics: 1 ms
From this output I can assume, that my main problem here is "draw game stuff" wich includes: - draw 1 spaceship - draw 5 asteroids - draw from 1 to 30 bullets
Here is my code:........................
I need do draw on Android's Canvas using Blur effect, it is a very simple feature, I need to draw a circular area, which is blurred (the foreground) and the background transparent, I can do everything with manipulating the colour alpha to do it with custom transparency but I need it to be blurred instead of transparent..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 1 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.
There is no problem with portrait mode but when i try my app on landscape mode it doesn't look how it should.What is general approach to solve this problem.My first idea is replacing X and Y places.If i am on the right track how should i do this ? Should i use an if statement at the beginning of the onDraw() function and write entire same code twice (one for x,y and other is for y,x) ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am very new to android development and have been trying to draw a square comprised of multiple smaller rectangles of different colours... Like a Mosaic essentially. Basically at the moment I am reading values from a file which assigns the colour to the smaller Rects. I am using a pair of nested for loops to try to draw the small Rects sequentially, line by line. However when the program finishes there is only one small Rect drawn which is the last one to be drawn and its colour corresponds to the first value read from the file. Here is some of my code to show you what I mean:
public SnapshotDraw(Context context) {
super(context);
for(int a = 0; a < 63; a++){
for(int b = 0; b < 63; b++){
fileName = PREFIX + "2" + EXTENSION;..............
How can i draw a view on a canvas by giving the x,y position in the canvas.
For example,
I have custom view myView, which was created by inflating one of my layout.xml file.
Now i want to draw this myView on the canvas at position (x, y).
How can i do that? code...
Or does it merely provide more options for graphics?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to draw a bitmap on a canvas with bigger size than it is. I can use canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, null, destRect, null); but that gives a poor quality, as the result is pixelated, if the source image is sightly smaller than the destination rectangle. How can i draw my bitmap using bilinear or bicubic resampling?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Bitmap object and want to render it to a Canvas object with varying levels of translucency (i.e. make the whole bitmap partially see through). For example, I have sprites in a game (that are drawn over the top of a bitmap background) that I want to fade out from being opaque to being invisible. Can I do this without having to resort to OpenGL?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a game written using the Android canvas. It is completely 2D, and I draw bitmaps as sprites on the canvas, and it technically works, but I have a few features that I need to add that will require drawing many more bitmaps on the screen, and there will be a lot more movement.
The app needs more power.
What is the best way to go from this method of drawing Bitmaps on a canvas to using OpenGL so I can draw them faster?
I am running my application in the emulator using a high density skin (like WVGA800). However the ressources in my application are loaded from the drawable- mdpi folder instead of drawable-hdpi ... what else should I do so that android use the correct folder ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an OpenGL ES game using the NDK. My min SDK version is 1.6. I have created an OpenGL Es 1.0 renderer in Java and am calling a native JNI method in that renderloop.
The problem I'm having is that it seems that the resolution of the rendering context is limited. When using the emulator I'm getting a rendering canvas of 480x320, which is fine. Now; when I use my HTC Desire I am only getting a canvas of 533x320 while the native resolution of this phone is 800x480px.
I have a View and that has a canvas. I am rotating the canvas, for rotating a bitmap. But after that, I need to draw one more bitmap on the Canvas and, this should not rotate. The second bitmap has to be static.
I tried with matrix rotation for bitmap. But its not rotating in the specified co-ordinates.
