Trying to get the x, y coordinate of each random c

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Trying to get the x, y coordinate of each random circle that is drawn on the screen 2 answers

I am making a game that will create random circles on the screen. The circles created randomly will have the value red or green.

My question is that I would like to be able to not only determine when a user clicks on one of the circles but determine what circle they have ultimately clicked on (red or green). My main problem is trying to find the x and y of the circle that will be drawn.

Here is my code:

    public class DrawingView extends View {



    public DrawingView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

    }
    RectF rectf = new RectF(0, 0, 200, 0);

    private static final int w = 100;
    public static int lastColor = Color.BLACK;
    private final Random random = new Random();
    private final Paint paint = new Paint();
    private final int radius = 230;
    private final Handler handler = new Handler();
    public static int redColor = Color.RED;
    public static int greenColor = Color.GREEN;


    private final Runnable updateCircle = new Runnable() {
        @Override 
        public void run() {
            lastColor = random.nextInt(2) == 1 ? redColor : greenColor;
            paint.setColor(lastColor);
            invalidate();
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);

        }
    };



    @Override 
    protected void onAttachedToWindow() {
        super.onAttachedToWindow();
        handler.post(updateCircle);
    }

    @Override 
    protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        handler.removeCallbacks(updateCircle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        // your other stuff here
        // code below works when its here 

        float randomWidth =(int) (random.nextInt(Math.abs(getWidth()-radius/2)) + radius/2f);
        float randomHeight = (random.nextInt((int)Math.abs((getHeight()-radius/2 + radius/2f))));
        canvas.drawCircle(randomWidth, randomHeight + radius/2f, radius, paint);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
   int x = event.getX();
   int y = event.getY();
   if(isInsideCircle(x, y)){
      //Do your things here
   }
   return true;
}

private boolean isInsideCircle(int x, int y){
  if (((x - randomWidth)^2 + (y - randomHeight)^2) < radius^2)
    return true;
  return false;    
}



}

code below does not work

public class DrawingView extends View {



    public DrawingView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

    }
    RectF rectf = new RectF(0, 0, 200, 0);

    private static final int w = 100;
    public static int lastColor = Color.BLACK;
    private final Random random = new Random();
    private final Paint paint = new Paint();
    private final int radius = 230;
    private final Handler handler = new Handler();
    public static int redColor = Color.RED;
    public static int greenColor = Color.GREEN;
    //its right below here the code compiles perfectly, but gets errors in logcat
    int randomWidth =(int) (random.nextInt(Math.abs(getWidth()-radius/2)) + radius/2f);
    int randomHeight = (random.nextInt((int)Math.abs((getHeight()-radius/2 + radius/2f))));


    private final Runnable updateCircle = new Runnable() {
        @Override 
        public void run() {
            lastColor = random.nextInt(2) == 1 ? redColor : greenColor;
            paint.setColor(lastColor);
            invalidate();
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);

        }
    };



    @Override 
    protected void onAttachedToWindow() {
        super.onAttachedToWindow();
        handler.post(updateCircle);
    }

    @Override 
    protected void onDetachedFromWindow() {
        super.onDetachedFromWindow();
        handler.removeCallbacks(updateCircle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        // your other stuff here
        canvas.drawCircle(randomWidth, randomHeight + radius/2f, radius, paint);
    }

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
   int x = (int) event.getX();
   int y = (int) event.getY();
   if(isInsideCircle(x, y)){
      //Do your things here
   }
   return true;
}

private boolean isInsideCircle(int x, int y){
  if (((x - randomWidth)^2 + (y - randomHeight)^2) < radius^2)
    return true;
  return false;    
}



}

here is the logcat

Answer 1

What you are calling randomWidth and randomheight actually are the x and y cordinates of your circle.
this is the methods sign:

canvas.drawCircle(x, y, radius, paint);

To check if the user clicked inside the circle you can do this:

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
   int x = (int)event.getX();
   int y = (int)event.getY();
   if(isInsideCircle(x, y)){
      //Do your things here
   }
   return true;
}

private boolean isInsideCircle(int x, int y){
  if (((x - center_x)^2 + (y - center_y)^2) < radius^2)
    return true;
  return false;    
}
