I am attempting to draw a line in a custom View
. Here I've created a simple Path
with just a single segment, created a PathShape
from that, and finally stuck that into a ShapeDrawable
with the intention of using that to draw on the Canvas
inside onDraw()
. However, this does not work. See my example, here.
package com.example.test;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.drawable.ShapeDrawable;
import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.PathShape;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
public class TestView extends View {
private Path mPath = null;
private Paint mPaint = null;
private PathShape mPathShape = null;
private ShapeDrawable mShapeDrawable = null;
public TestView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
private void init() {
int width = this.getWidth() / 2;
int height = this.getHeight() / 2;
Log.d("init", String.format("width: %d; height: %d", width, height));
this.mPath = new Path();
this.mPath.moveTo(0, 0);
this.mPath.lineTo(width, height);
this.mPaint = new Paint();
this.mPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
this.mPathShape = new PathShape(this.mPath, 1, 1);
this.mShapeDrawable = new ShapeDrawable(this.mPathShape);
this.mShapeDrawable.getPaint().set(this.mPaint);
this.mShapeDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
}
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
// Doing this here because in the constructor we don't have the width and height of the view, yet
this.init();
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
Log.d("onDraw", "Drawing");
// This works, but won't let me do what I'm really trying to do
canvas.drawLine(0.0f, 0.0f, this.getWidth() / 2.0f, this.getHeight() / 2.0f, this.mPaint);
// This should work, but does not
//this.mPathShape.draw(canvas, this.mPaint);
// This should work, but does not
//this.mShapeDrawable.draw(canvas);
}
}
As you can see from my comments in the onDraw()
method, neither using the PathShape
nor the ShapeDrawable
to draw the Path
onto the Canvas
actually works. Nothing is drawn when I try. Does anyone have any idea why?
The device I'm testing this on is running Android 4.1.1.
