This is my first question here at stackoverflow.com so excuse myself if i'm doing stuff wrong.
I want to create a circle which basically is like a progress bar. Now I'd like to set the percentage through some code.
What I want to achieve is: https://raw.github.com/psud/Melde-App/master/res/drawable-hdpi/circlemiddle.png
My problems:
- Can't get a circle with two colors to work (have been searching forums for hours and have found solutions to problems similar to mine but I just can't implement those solutions that into my app. I've read a lot about canvas.drawArc(...) but can't seem to find out how to use it).
- How is it possible to put a canvas into a layout? (I've got a xml layout and the canvas should be drawn inside a particular layout without changing the rest of the layout).
Thanks.
This is only a hint. It is simply a view that draw two arcs in the same rect: First arc spans from angle 0 to 360. The second one (above the first) spans from 0 to an angle that depends on the percentage.
public class PercentView extends View {
public PercentView (Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public PercentView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public PercentView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init();
}
private void init() {
paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.lightblue));
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
bgpaint = new Paint();
bgpaint.setColor(getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.darkblue));
bgpaint.setAntiAlias(true);
bgpaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
rect = new RectF();
}
Paint paint;
Paint bgpaint;
RectF rect;
float percentage = 0;
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
//draw background circle anyway
int left = 0;
int width = getWidth();
int top = 0;
rect.set(left, top, left+width, top + width);
canvas.drawArc(rect, -90, 360, true, bgpaint);
if(percentage!=0) {
canvas.drawArc(rect, -90, (360*percentage), true, paint);
}
}
public void setPercentage(float percentage) {
this.percentage = percentage / 100;
invalidate();
}
}
Add to your layout:
<bla.bla.PercentView
android:id="@+id/percentview"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp" />
You can implement a pie chart quite easily with this library (achartengine - https://code.google.com/p/achartengine/) instead of rolling your own solution.
