I want to create letters and words dynamically on view and also I want to draw line on it by finger.
For example I have letters like A as given in picture:
I would like to draw like this as given in picture:
The problem is that the line is drawn on the whole view. I want to find points contain letters and only draw line on letters contain points. if any idea or suggestion then let me know.
I solved my problem by using two images one is a normal image of an "A" and other is transparent image of an "A", in between these two images I add the custom view on which I draw freehand line.
Using below code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
DrawingView dv ;
private Paint mPaint;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
RelativeLayout mtile=(RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.mtile);
dv = new DrawingView(this);
mtile.addView(dv);
RelativeLayout rvtrans=new RelativeLayout(this);
rvtrans.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.at);
mtile.addView(rvtrans);
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
mPaint.setDither(true);
mPaint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(12);
}
public class DrawingView extends View {
public int width;
public int height;
private Bitmap mBitmap;
private Canvas mCanvas;
private Path mPath;
private Paint mBitmapPaint;
Context context;
private Paint circlePaint;
private Path circlePath;
public DrawingView(Context c) {
super(c);
context=c;
mPath = new Path();
mBitmapPaint = new Paint(Paint.DITHER_FLAG);
circlePaint = new Paint();
circlePath = new Path();
circlePaint.setAntiAlias(true);
circlePaint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
circlePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
circlePaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.MITER);
circlePaint.setStrokeWidth(4f);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
mBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
mCanvas = new Canvas(mBitmap);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawBitmap( mBitmap, 0, 0, mBitmapPaint);
canvas.drawPath( mPath, mPaint);
canvas.drawPath( circlePath, circlePaint);
}
private float mX, mY;
private static final float TOUCH_TOLERANCE = 4;
private void touch_start(float x, float y) {
mPath.reset();
mPath.moveTo(x, y);
mX = x;
mY = y;
Log.d("start xy==>", x+","+y);
}
private void touch_move(float x, float y) {
Log.d("move xy==>", x+","+y);
float dx = Math.abs(x - mX);
float dy = Math.abs(y - mY);
if ((dx >= TOUCH_TOLERANCE || dy >= TOUCH_TOLERANCE)) {
mPath.quadTo(mX, mY, (x + mX)/2, (y + mY)/2);
mX = x;
mY = y;
/* circlePath.reset();
circlePath.addCircle(mX, mY, 30, Path.Direction.CW);*/
}
}
private void touch_up() {
mPath.lineTo(mX, mY);
Log.d("end xy", mX+","+mY);
circlePath.reset();
// commit the path to our offscreen
mCanvas.drawPath(mPath, mPaint);
// kill this so we don't double draw
mPath.reset();
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float x = event.getX();
float y = event.getY();
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
touch_start(x, y);
invalidate();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
touch_move(x, y);
invalidate();
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
touch_up();
invalidate();
break;
}
return true;
}
}
}
and activity_main.xml is :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/mtile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/a"

</RelativeLayout>
