I am trying to implement a Drawing Application in Android. Where the user should be able to select and move the drawn shapes.
Currently i have statically drawn some rects and text on my Drawing Canvas:
View mDrawingCanvas = new View(mContext)
{
ShapeDrawable rectangle;
@Override
public boolean isFocused() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d(TAG, "View's On focused is called !");
return super.isFocused();
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(final Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
// Work out current total scale factor
// from source to view
final float scale = mSourceScale*(float)getWidth()/(float)mSize.x;
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
//Custom View
rectangle = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape());
rectangle.getPaint().setColor(Color.GRAY);
rectangle.getPaint().setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
rectangle.getPaint().setStrokeWidth(3);
rectangle.setBounds((int)(50*scale), (int)(30*scale), (int)(200*scale), (int)(150*scale));
rectangle.draw(canvas);
rectangle.getPaint().setColor(Color.BLUE);
rectangle.getPaint().setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
rectangle.getPaint().setStrokeWidth(3);
rectangle.setBounds((int)(200*scale), (int)(200*scale), (int)(400*scale), (int)(350*scale));
rectangle.draw(canvas);
}
};
I want to select (draw borders on the selected shape) and move the drawn Shapes in onTouch events of the drawing canvas.
Can some one please guide me about this, any help is Highly Appreciated.
This answer has demonstrated the Shape Moving Methodology that i was looking for.
And my problem is solved now. The Link is :
Drag and move a circle drawn on canvas
You should save the X and Y positions in the touch event and use them when drawing your shapes. Below is a very basic example of how to do this, but you need to improve it (check if the touch is inside the object and only change values for that object)
Example:
