I want to draw a line on the Main Activity using Canvas. The problem is, it is not drawing anything. I have the following code:
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(1920, 1080, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);
you can display the bitmap like that:
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, positionX, positionY, paint);
in your case you can try somthing like this:
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
but you need to use a diffrent canvas for it. The canvas wich let you draw stuff on your screen will be passed to your onDraw() method in your View. So you need to make a View class first and add it in your MainActivity.
You can do that like this:
First you create a class called MyView and add this code to it:
public class MyView extends View {
Bitmap bitmap;
public MyView(Context context) {
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(1920, 1080, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
}
then you change the code in your onCreate() method in your MainActivity to this:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
MyView myView = new MyView(this);
setContentView(myView);
}
Create a class like this
public class MyView extends View {
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);
}
}
