Android :: Draw Text With Border On MapView?
Nov 12, 2009I'm trying to draw some text onto an MapView on Android. The drawing of the text goes fine, but it's very hard to read the text because it's white with no black border (like the rest of the text that appears naturally on MapViews to denote cities, states, and countries). I can't seem to figure how to draw the text with a black border. This is the sort of code I'm using right now (this is just example code, found in one of my overlays):
@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
textPaint.setTextSize(16);
textPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
canvas.drawText("Some Text", 100, 100, textPaint);
super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);}
Android :: Draw Border At Top Of Linear Layout
Dec 17, 2009I have followed the example in for the gradient dividers: http://www.connorgarvey.com/blog/?p=34. I have tried to draw a horizontal line at the BOTTOM of my linear layout. Here is my linear layout file:
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/test" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/icon1"
android:layout_width="32dip"
android:layout_height="32dip"
And I did add <View
android:background="@drawable/black_white_gradient"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_above="@id/test"
But i don't see any line at the top of the LinearLayout. And when I go to Hierarchy View and see he View (for the hort separator), the getWidth() is 0 while getHeight() is 1. Can you please tell me what am I missing?

Jan 24, 2010I'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 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Draw 9 Patch Tool - What Is Meaning Of Black Lines Outside Figure
Nov 20, 2010I tried enough to find in google & android this question. Also did several trials & errors, but couldn't get this question. was learning Android's "Draw Nine Patch" images. One basic I know is that, whatever image you process must be in .png format (if it's already in .9.png then it will be ignored by tool). However, couldn't understand what it literally means by "stretchable patches" ? what exactly happens when you draw black dots outside the .png image ? (preview pane shows changes happening, but I am unclear on how it makes those)When I draw black dots in left/top sides of image it shows some changes in preview; but why isn't there any effect when you do the same on right/bottom side of the image ? why this tool is used primarily for background, when we try to process on the image itself ?i am trying to modify a simple button.png (given in android sdk). Whenever I use this tool & draw black lines, it reduces the size of the image instead of 'stretching' it! Why ?What is the significance of options given below like, "show lock", "show content", "Patch scale" and so on ?I apologize for asking so many questions, but in Android online docs they haven't explained well for novice. If someone can answer these, it will become ready reference for all the begineers who search this forum.

Android :: Increase Width Of Button Without Stretching Image?
Oct 5, 2010Kind of a newbie question, I suppose:
I've got a horizontal layout with Button, SeekBar, Button. I'd like the actual space (and active area) of the button to be somewhat wider than the image (a round dot) used for the button.
So I tried setting paddingLeft and paddingRight on the button.
But what I got was the round dot stretched into an oval.
How would I increase the width of the button without stretching the image?
Android :: Prevent TextView From Stretching Out It's Parent LinearLayout?
Jul 24, 2010It seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.
Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg
As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.
Here is my code:

Android :: OpenGL ES Simple Tile Generator Performance
Jan 24, 2010Thank to previous replies, and with a major inspiration from http://insanitydesign.com/wp/projects/nehe-android-ports/ , i started to build a simple Tile Generator for my simple 2D zelda-like game project.I can now generate a map with the same textured tile, using 2 for(..) imbricated iterations to draw horizontal and vertical tiles, and got some basic DPAD key input listeners to scroll over the x and y axis.but now im running into my first performance problems, just with one texture and one model.When trying to build a 10x10 map, scrolling is fine and smooth.When trying with 50x50, things get worse, and with a 100x100, its way unacceptable.Is there a way only to tell OpenGL to render the 'visible' part of my mapset and ignore the hidden tiles? im a totally new to this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Threading - Custom Google Maps Tile Overlay
Nov 4, 2010I've been stuck for ages now trying to implement threading or background image loading for a custom tile overlay class I've been working on. I'm pretty useless when it comes to Java so threading isn't something I've had any experience with. Basically I have extended an ItemizedOverlay and in the draw() method calculate the tiles I need to display over the standard google tiles then fetch those images with a URLConnection and using BitmapFactory decode them and draw them to the canvas at the correct position on the screen so that the images are on top of the google tiles with about 50% opacity (the custom tiles are cellphone network coverage png's which are used for our web app). I initially got this all working with the tiles loading in the correct places but hit issues with memory and "freezing" while panning so implemented some basic caching and memory management to only store the tiles that are displayed on the map in memory and when downloading a tile store it to SD card.
Then I figured the freezing while panning is due to the blocking nature of downloading the images so, have been trying to implement threading. I created a class that extends AsyncTask to download the images in the background and store them to SD, in the onPostExecute method I then try to draw all the tiles. But onPostExecute never seems to fire, now I know that the AsyncTask has to be called in the main ui thread so tried to debug the execution with Thread.currentThread().getId() calls through out the code. The thread Ids through out is 1 and then 10 for the doInBackground method for the AsyncTask. Now I'm not sure if 1 is the main UI thread or not. In the extended MapActivity class I have, the onCreate method's Thread.currentThread().getId() returns 1 but I'm not sure if the MapActivity class is executed in the main ui thread? Here Romain Guy mentions that the onPostExecute method should have @Override but when I do that eclipse flags it as an error
"The method onPostExecute(Boolean...) of type TileCache.ImageLoadTask must override or implement a supertype method"
So I guess something is wrong there but the only fix eclipse offers is to remove the @Override
So I guess with out post all my source code, the question's I have are:
Is the MapActivity onCreate method called in the main ui thread?
What does the @Override error mean? or why does it show that error
Does anyone have an example of a custom tile overlay implementation with background image loading and tile caching?
