Drawing equally spaced rectangles inside a rectangle - java

I am trying to make a custom view for Android. I need a big ractangle that holds 7 other rectangles (equally spaced and padded from inside the main rectangle, representing days of week). With my current code, I get the following result:
But what I am looking for should be (the ratio is not important as long as spaces are equal):
Here is my code. Any help and suggestion will be appriciated!
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
//Main rectangle
Rect boxMain = new Rect();
boxMain.set(getLeft() + 25, getTop() + 25, getRight() - 25, getBottom() - 25);
int hMiniBox = boxMain.height() / 7; //height for each of 7 rectangles
int space = 10; //Space between each rectangle inside the main rectangle
int rectH = hMiniBox; //Height of each rectangle
//Draw the main rectangle
canvas.drawRect(boxMain, _paintProgressBoxBorder);
//Draw 7 rectangles inside main rectangle
for(int i = 0; i <7; i++)
{
Rect rect = new Rect();
rect.set(
boxMain.left + space,
boxMain.top + space,
boxMain.right - space,
rectH
);
canvas.drawRect(rect, _paintProgressMiniBoxesBorder);
rectH += hMiniBox;
}
invalidate();
}

When you loop through setting the small rect, you set the top as boxMain.top + space every time, and only increment the bottom. So really you are drawing 7 rectangles over the top of each other, but with increasing height each time.
Try something like the following:
int smallRectTop = 0
for(int i = 0; i <7; i++) {
Rect rect = new Rect();
rect.set(
boxMain.left + space,
smallRectTop + space,
boxMain.right - space,
smallRectTop += hMiniBox; // Increment and set rect.bottom at the same time
);
}

Wrong center of screen coordinates

I'm coding an Android game and I'm trying to put the character in the middle of the screen (X axis).
In order to get the middle of the screen I get the screen width withe the following command:
int phoneWidth = Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
Then I divide phoneWidth by two and hoped that the character would appear in the middle of the screen but it appears slightly to the right.
This is the code that I use:
public void drawCharacter() {
charImg = new Texture("pika.PNG");
charSprite = new Sprite(charImg);
float ahaha = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
charPosX = (float)phoneWidth/ 2;
}
#Override
public void render() {
ch.stop();
double elapsedSeconds = ch.getSeconds();
checkLevel();
handleObstacles();
scrollTimer = scrollTimer + Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime() / 2;
if (scrollTimer > 1.0f)
scrollTimer = 0.0f;
sprite.setV(scrollTimer);
sprite.setV2(scrollTimer + 2);
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
charSprite.setPosition(charPosX, charPosY);
for (int i = 0; i < obstacles.size(); i++) {
obstacleSprites.get(i).setPosition(obstacles.get(i).getPosX(), obstacles.get(i).getPosY());
}
spriteBatch.begin();
sprite.draw(spriteBatch);
charSprite.draw(spriteBatch);
for (int i = 0; i < obstacleSprites.size(); i++) {
obstacleSprites.get(i).draw(spriteBatch);
}
spriteBatch.end();
moveCharacter();
moveObstacle();
}
Does anyone know where this error come from?
The left-hand edge of your sprite will be in the middle of the screen.
Subtract half the sprite width from half the screen width to draw the sprite centered horizontally.

Generate a circle randomly on the screen and make it green or red

So ive been trying to make a game app that either displays a red button with text or a green button with text randomly on the android screen. If anyone can help me with this i would appreciate it. also on a side note i want to slowly generate faster cool upside if anyone knows how to do that. Thanks!
#SuppressLint("DrawAllocation")
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
String str = "Joke of the day";
super.onDraw(canvas);
paint = new Paint();
Random random = new Random();
Random randomTwo = new Random();
//Rect ourRect = new Rect();
Rect topRect = new Rect();
Rect backGround = new Rect();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
backGround.set(0,0,canvas.getWidth(),canvas.getHeight());
canvas.drawRect(backGround, paint);
for(int i = 0; i <= 900; i++;){
}
if(blank == time){
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
canvas.drawCircle(random, randomTwo, 230, paint);
}else {
paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
canvas.drawCircle(random, randomTwo, 230, paint);
}
}
You only need one Random instance.
Declare private long lastUpdated = 0; and private int lastColor = Color.BLACK; outside of the onDraw.
Update the bottom portion to:
final float radius = 230f;
if(System.currentTimeMillis() > lastUpdated + 1000){
lastColor = random.nextInt(2) == 1 ? Color.RED : Color.GREEN;
lastUpdated = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
paint.setColor(lastColor);
canvas.drawCircle(random.nextInt(canvas.getWidth()-radius/2) + radius/2f, random.nextInt(canvas.getHeight()-radius/2) + radius/2f, radius, paint);
This will draw a circle of either red or green at random location every second.
You need the radius/2 because the coordinates are from the center of the circle.
As for your second part of your question, also on a side note i want to slowly generate faster cool upside. You'd have to clarify what you mean.

Android - Canvas onDraw with zoomed camara following character movements

Some Context:
I am creating an Android game which draws a maze onto a canvas against a background image, this uses a square block and therefore the maze is always automtically zoomed in to a 5 x 5 square, of a maze that may be 20 x 20. The maze is drawn by simply running through a set of for loops and then drawing lines in the relevent places. This is all working perfectly, however I am having an issue with getting my onDraw to work smoothly. This is occuring due to the fact that everytime I invalidate I have to re-run the for look and run various if statements to check positions (unfortunetly this process cannot be improved).
The Question:
I am looking to re-write the way my maze is drawn onto the canvas, below are the 3 main features I need to implement:
1 - Draw the whole maze onto the canvas (this is easy enough)
2 - Zoom in on the maze so only a 5 x 5 is shown
3 - Move the character (who is always centered on the screen) and draw the next seciton of the maze
Now as mentioned above drawing the whole maze is easy enough and will make the onDraw signifcatly quicker as their is no need to run the for loop on invaldate, it can be done once when the level is first loaded up.
In terms of point 2 & 3, the way I see this working is the charcacter to be drawn in the middle of the canvas then a 2d birdseye view camera to be attached / linked to the characters movement. This camera would also need to be zoomed in to an extent that it only displays a 5 x 5 of the overall maze grid. Then as the charcater moves the camera moves with the character and displays the next section of the maze which has already been drawn. I have tried a few things and done some reasearch however I have never worked with canvas before and no idea really where to start and if this is even possible.
So to sum up the main part of the question is whether their is a way to link a birdseye view camera to a character which is zoomed in and moves with the character image.
Below is a snippet as to how the maze is currently drawn, using 2 sets of for loops checking against 2 sets of boolean arrays[][], which simply store the vertical and horixaonl lines to be drawn.
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, width, 100, background);
RectBackground.set(0,0, FullScreenWidth, FullScreenWidth);
canvas.drawBitmap(gameBackground, null, RectBackground, null);
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
{
float x = j * totalCellWidth;
float y = i * totalCellHeight;
indexY = i + currentY;
indexX = j + currentX;
// Draw Verticle line (y axis)
if (indexY < vLength && indexX < vLines[indexY].length && vLines[indexY][indexX])
{
RectOuterBackground.set((int)x + (int)cellWidth, (int)y, (int)x + (int)cellWidth + 15, (int)y + (int)cellHeight + 15);
canvas.drawBitmap(walls, null, RectOuterBackground, null);
}
// Draws Horizontal lines (x axis)
if (indexY < hLength && indexX < hLines[indexY].length && hLines[indexY][indexX])
{
RectOuterBackground.set((int)x, (int)y + (int)cellHeight,(int)x + (int)cellWidth + 15,(int)y + (int)cellHeight + 15);
canvas.drawBitmap(walls, null, RectOuterBackground, null);
}
}
}
}
To make the drawing faster, you can double buffer the canvas by drawing directly into a bitmap and flashing the bitmap into the canvas like this. It's very fast.
private void init()
{
//variables below are class-wide variables
b = Bitmap.createBitmap(cwidth, cheight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
bitmapPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
bitmapPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
bitmapPaint.setStrokeWidth(3);
myPaint.setColor(0xff000000);
myCanvas = new Canvas(b);
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas c)
{
super.onDraw(c);
c.drawBitmap(b, 0, 0, myPaint);
for(int i = 0; i < number lines; i++)
{
//draw here using myPath
}
if(b != null)
c.drawBitmap(b, 0, 0, myPaint);
myCanvas.drawPath(myPath, bitmapPaint);
}
Then, to "move around" I would suggest using a crop box. What this means is that a 1:1 scale, the image is larger than the viewport displayed on the screen. Really what's happening when someone "moves" is the bitmap is being moved beneath the crop box.
You could use BitmapRegionDecoder and display only the region the character is in (this might be slowish) or by using
public void drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Rect src, RectF dst, Paint paint)
The src parameter here allows you to specify a small region of the bitmap to display. It is effectively a crop box.
To zoom in and out you need to multiply the coordinates by a number( zoom factor)
int x1 = (int)x + (int)cellWidth;
int y1 = (int)y;
int x2 = (int)x + (int)cellWidth + 15;
int y2 = (int)y + (int)cellHeight + 15;
RectOuterBackground.set(x1*zoom, y1*zoom, x2*zoom, y2*zoom);
note that zoom must be a floating point number, using zoom=2 that makes everything twice as big.
if you want to put the camera on top of the cell (xc, yc) you need to do this:
RectOuterBackground.set( (x1-xc)*zoom, (y1-yc)*zoom, (x2-xc)*zoom, (y2-yc)*zoom);
Try first drawing the whole maze, and soon you will figure out how to only draw the bit of the maze that is only inside the screen
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions :)

Drawing on Canvas and refreshing

I'm new to Android programming and now I'm trying to make a simple Sea Battle game for one person. Ships are places, player hits the field and see whether the shot hit or not.
Basically, the field looks like this:
The code is:
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
if (getWidth() > getHeight()) {
rebro = getHeight();
} else {
rebro = getWidth(); // the smaller size of screen is "rebro"
}
rebro_piece = rebro / 10; // divide the screen by 10 (to get 10x10 field)
Paint background = new Paint();
background.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.game_background));
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, rebro, rebro, background); // draw background
Paint divider = new Paint();
divider.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.divider_black));
// drawing divider lines
for (int i=0; i<11; i++) {
canvas.drawLine(0, i*rebro_piece, rebro, i*rebro_piece, divider); // horizontal
canvas.drawLine(i*rebro_piece, 0, i*rebro_piece, rebro, divider); // vertical
}
canvas.drawLine(rebro-1, 0, rebro-1, rebro, divider);
}
That's how I make the "field."
In another class I have a method that collects numbers x and y of a 10×10 array that represents where the ships are placed. For debugging, I need to draw them on my field. Ship coordinates are retrieved in a cycle.
So I wrote a drawShip(int x, int y) method.
On Stack Overflow I've founded a question about "Why I can't paint outside onDraw()?" and I've changed my method to this:
public void drawShip(int x, int y) {
myX = x; //global
myY = y; //global
needToPaintShip = true; //boolean
invalidate(); // refreshing?
needToPaintShip = false;
}
Here needToPaintShip decides whether the redrawing of canvas is needed or not.
Also I've edited the onDraw(Canvas canvas) method:
if(needToPaintShip == true) {
Paint ship = new Paint();
ship.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.ship_color));
Log.d(TAG, "onDraw(): rebro_piece = " + rebro_piece + " , myX = "+ myX + " , myY = " + myY); // I only get the last coordinates!
Rect r = new Rect(myX*(rebro_piece),myY*rebro_piece, myX*(rebro_piece+1), myY*(rebro_piece+1));
canvas.drawRect(r, ship);
}
but the result is awful:
Guys, I'm desperate. How can I fix this and make "ships" be drawn on the field?
Why do you set needToPaintShip = false; after calling invalidate()? Don't you need to draw the ship again in subsequent frames?
Also, it seems like this item:
Rect r = new Rect(myX*(rebro_piece),myY*rebro_piece, myX*(rebro_piece+1), myY*(rebro_piece+1));
should probably be:
Rect r = new Rect(myX*(rebro_piece),myY*rebro_piece, (myX+1)*rebro_piece, (myY+1)*rebro_piece));
As for why the ship always appears in the bottom right corner, that depends on what you pass to drawShip(x,y), which isn't shown. Is it possible that you are passing pixel coordinates instead of something in the range [0-10)?

Android - Draw Bitmap within Canvas

I currently have a maze game which draws a 5 x 5 square (takes the width of screen and splits it evenly). Then for each of these boxes using x and y cordinates I user drawRect, to draw a colored background.
The issue I am having is I now need to draw an image within this same location, therefore replacing the current plain background colour fill.
Here is the code I am currently using to drawRect (a few example):
// these are all the variation of drawRect that I use
canvas.drawRect(x, y, (x + totalCellWidth), (y + totalCellHeight), green);
canvas.drawRect(x + 1, y, (x + totalCellWidth), (y + totalCellHeight), green);
canvas.drawRect(x, y + 1, (x + totalCellWidth), (y + totalCellHeight), green);
I would then also need to implement a background image for all the other squares within my canvas. This background will have simple 1px black lines drawn over the top of it, current code to draw in a grey background.
background = new Paint();
background.setColor(bgColor);
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, width, height, background);
Could you please advice if this is at all possible. If so, what is the best way I can go about doing this, whilst trying to minimise memory usage and having 1 image which will expand and shrink to fill the relvent square space(this varies on all the different screen sizes as it splits the overall screen width evenly).
Use the Canvas method public void drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Rect src, RectF dst, Paint paint). Set dst to the size of the rectangle you want the entire image to be scaled into.
EDIT:
Here's a possible implementation for drawing the bitmaps in squares across on the canvas. Assumes the bitmaps are in a 2-dimensional array (e.g., Bitmap bitmapArray[][];) and that the canvas is square so the square bitmap aspect ratio is not distorted.
private static final int NUMBER_OF_VERTICAL_SQUARES = 5;
private static final int NUMBER_OF_HORIZONTAL_SQUARES = 5;
...
int canvasWidth = canvas.getWidth();
int canvasHeight = canvas.getHeight();
int squareWidth = canvasWidth / NUMBER_OF_HORIZONTAL_SQUARES;
int squareHeight = canvasHeight / NUMBER_OF_VERTICAL_SQUARES;
Rect destinationRect = new Rect();
int xOffset;
int yOffset;
// Set the destination rectangle size
destinationRect.set(0, 0, squareWidth, squareHeight);
for (int horizontalPosition = 0; horizontalPosition < NUMBER_OF_HORIZONTAL_SQUARES; horizontalPosition++){
xOffset = horizontalPosition * squareWidth;
for (int verticalPosition = 0; verticalPosition < NUMBER_OF_VERTICAL_SQUARES; verticalPosition++){
yOffset = verticalPosition * squareHeight;
// Set the destination rectangle offset for the canvas origin
destinationRect.offsetTo(xOffset, yOffset);
// Draw the bitmap into the destination rectangle on the canvas
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmapArray[horizontalPosition][verticalPosition], null, destinationRect, null);
}
}
Try the following code :
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setFilterBitmap(true);
paint.setDither(true);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, x, y, paint);
