Android :: How To Redraw Only A Part Of My Custom View
Aug 14, 2009I have a custom view, that overrides the onDraw() method. For better performance I want to redraw only a small part of Canvas in onDraw().

View 4 RepliesI have a custom view that fills my entire screen. (A piano keyboard) When a user touches the key, it causes invalidate() to be called and the whole keyboard gets redrawn to show the new state with a touched key.
Currently the view is very simple, but I plan to add a bit more nice graphics. Since the whole keyboard is dynamically rendered this would make redrawing the entire keyboard more expensive.
So I thought, let's look into partial redrawing. Now I call invalidate(Rect dirty) with the correct dirty region. I set my onDraw(Canvas canvas) method to only draw the keys in the dirty region if I do indeed want a partial redraw. This results in those keys being drawn, but the rest of the keyboard is totally black/not drawn at all.
Am I wrong in expecting that calling invalidate(Rect dirty) would "cache" the current canvas, and only "allows" drawing in the dirty region?
Is there any way I can achieve what I want? (A way to "cache" the canvas and only redraw the dirty area?"
I want to create a custom view (extends View) which contains an image and a text.
Is it possible to set an listener just for image if i use canvas.drawBitmap(imageBitmap, ...) method?
I am new to Android development, just reading docs and trying the APIs. I am quit confused how ImageView managed to draw just a part of its content after an invalidate(Rect) invocation.
I've checked ImageView.java, found no other drawing method except onDraw(Canvas), but onDraw(Canvas) only cut the drawable only if it is beyound the view's visible boundary. I also read the implementation of View.invalidate(Rect), I think the key of this function is calling to mParent.invalidateChild(this, r);
However, I think the parent view doesn't know how to draw the child in the given Rect, it finally has to call some method of it child to paint out. Has anybody investigated this part of codes? Would you please give me some guide?
I want to get a set of Views to redraw after I change some drawing parameters. I'm calling invalidate() and forceLayout() on the parent of the Views but nothing happens. If I rotate the screen then the Views redraw correctly using the new parameters, as you would expect. What else do I need to do to get the Views to redraw?

After digging deeper, we found all controls in our layout kept drawing when texts scrolling. We wonder why? And how to avoid all controls redrawing?

First, I have change the view to
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Second, I would like to change the middle one, and I expect the result is 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
However, the view give the result: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to build my own custom view which should look like the Crysis-GUI.At first I designed a XML-based Layout and made it visible via the setContentView(int resid)-Method. Worked pretty well.But now I wan't to go a step further and draw in my Layout. So I created a new Class, let it extend View and overrode the onDraw()-Method. So far so good.But how can I still use my XML-Layout? I can't do setContentView anymore, so how could the same effect be achieved?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with TextView and would appreciate some help finding out what I might be doing wrong. (Or if this is in fact an Android problem, a workaround If the first letter of text in a TextView is capital "J", the first pixel or two are cut off so that the "J" starts looking a bit more like an "I". If I set the gravity to, say, "center", the "J" looks OK. Setting layout_marginLeft or paddingLeft to a non-zero value does not help. If you would like to see this effect for yourself, the easiest way is to create a default generic Android project and change the "hello" text to something like "JJJ".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am on Android 2.1 and I have one multi column Custom listview Using BaseAdapter with an editable edittext at the end of the listview. If the data in the listview do not contain the data of user choice then user should be able to enter data. If the data is already there in the list user will be able to select the data using custom selector. If a selection is made in the list view and user wanted to enter data in the text field at the bottom after selection then the marker in the list view should be unselected. I tried to use onclick() method on edit text using click listener. First time when it is clicked, edit text is getting focus and onclick() method is not fired. And when it is clicked second time, onclick() method is fired and notifyDataSetChanged() method is called. I tried to call the notifyDataSetChanged() method from the Focus Listener, list view selection is gone in my first attempt and edit text is not receiving any data input from the keyboard (frozen).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm creating my own View class, and defining custom xml attributes with a attrs.xml. As long as I provide each attribute manually, there is no problem, but
code:...................
The android:text is properly set in my instance, but the borderDrawable is not. I guess this has something to do with namespaces, because inside the styles.xml, the name="mypack:borderDrawable" is not handled by the XML parser's namespace facility, because its inside an attribute value. So "mypack" is in no way connected to "http://some.weird.url.com/seems/not/to/ matter" and adding it via xmlns:mypack... to the stylefile would not help, I guess. In the same file, "android:text" is somehow recognized, even though "android" is AFAIK only a ns-defintion for [url], which is also not declared in that file.
So what is the proper way to set a custom attribute in a style?
I have an expandable list view with a static array for the group data and an SQLite database for the child data. It is implemented with the BaseExpandableListAdapter and works great, except, when I edit the database to delete or add children to the list I do not see the changes onscreen. It looks like I can use the registerDataSetObserver method to notify the adapter and expandable list of a data change. What I have to do in the callback to make Android redraw the list after data changes is what I need to know. Can I do it? Documentation on this part of the SDK is a bit sparse and expandable list view example code is not a good match. Can anyone offer advice on how to use a DataSetObserver? It feels like I have to switch over to a Cursor type adapter.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm implementing a fairly standard app with the Android sdk that involves drawing using the SurfaceView, SurfaceHolder, Callback setup.
In my main thread (UI thread) I have no drawing or handling of the SurfaceHolder (or the canvas you retrieve with it).
In a separate thread I have the following:
CODE:...............
This code is being executed, throws no exceptions, and has no negative side effects that I can find; however, the unlockCanvasAndPost() call never causes onDraw() to be called.
In other words, unlockCanvasAndPost() does not cause a redraw of the SurfaceView.
Any ideas what could cause this symptom? I have plenty of java experience, a fair amount of android experience, and a lot of debugging experience and cannot track this one down.
