I'm working on application which is drawing on Canvas similar to Finger Paint demo from Android SDK. My problem is when I'm using PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR
. When drawing and Canvas and if I try to erase something, it's working fine. But if I try to save my image as PNG
file the strokes of eraser are coloured black, and I'm not sure why is this happening. Here is an example what I'm doing :
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap, 0, 0, mBitmapPaint);
canvas.drawPath(mPath, mPaint);
}
Eraser :
case ERASE_MENU_ID:
mPaint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(
PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR));
return true;
And how I'm saving the image :
Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat formatter= new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMMddHmmss");
String dateNow = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());
File dir = new File(mImagePath);
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(mImagePath + "/" + dateNow +".png");
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.close();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "File saved at \n"+mImagePath + "/" + dateNow +".png", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("Panel", "FileNotFoundException", e);
}
catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("Panel", "IOEception", e);
}
return true;
And here is an example of images :
here is what my canvas looks like before saving :
and here is the image after saving it on sd card :
