I created a Custom View CircleView like this:
public class CircleView extends LinearLayout {
Paint paint1;
public CircleView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public CircleView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public void init() {
paint1 = new Paint();
paint1.setColor(Color.RED);
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
//super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawCircle(50, 50, 25, paint1);
this.draw(canvas);
}
}
Then I included it on my Activity's layout root <RelativeLayout>
:
<com.turkidroid.test.CircleView
android:id="@+id/circle_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
However, nothing was drawn!
- Am I implementing the Custom View right?
- Or is it how I used the Custom View?
Some Info:
- Both CircleView and MyActivity are in the same package:
com.turkidroid.test
. - In
onDraw()
method, I tried includingsuper.onDraw()
and commenting it. - I know I can draw a circle with much simpler approaches but my CircleView will contain more than drawing a circle. I need to make it a Custom View.
