LibGdx: Shaperenderer Rect not being drawn on Screen

Trying to create a simple loading Screen. The below code prints the correct progress, so I know that part works. But the rectangle is not being drawn. Not sure what is wrong.
Full LoadingScreen:
public class LoadingScreen implements Screen {
private static final float PROGRESS_BAR_WIDTH = MyGdxGame.WIDTH / 2f;
private static final float PROGRESS_BAR_HEIGHT = 50f;
GdxAssetManager assetManager;
Stage stage;
//Table mainTable;
private ShapeRenderer shapeRenderer;
private MyGdxGame game;
public LoadingScreen(MyGdxGame game){
this.game = game;
assetManager = game.getAssetManager();
shapeRenderer = new ShapeRenderer();
stage = new Stage(new StretchViewport(MyGdxGame.WIDTH, MyGdxGame.HEIGHT));
}
#Override
public void show() {
assetManager.loadGeneral();
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
renderProgressBar();
if (assetManager.getManager().update()) {
game.setScreen(new LoginScreen(game));
}
stage.act(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime());
stage.draw();
}
private void renderProgressBar() {
float progress = assetManager.getManager().getProgress();
System.out.println(PROGRESS_BAR_WIDTH * progress);
shapeRenderer.begin(ShapeRenderer.ShapeType.Filled);
shapeRenderer.setColor(Color.RED);
shapeRenderer.rect(
(MyGdxGame.WIDTH - PROGRESS_BAR_WIDTH) / 2f,
(MyGdxGame.HEIGHT - PROGRESS_BAR_HEIGHT) / 2f,
PROGRESS_BAR_WIDTH * progress,
PROGRESS_BAR_HEIGHT
);
shapeRenderer.end();
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
stage.getViewport().update(width, height);
}
#Override
public void pause() {
}
#Override
public void resume() {
}
#Override
public void hide() {
dispose();
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
stage.dispose();
shapeRenderer.dispose();
}
}
I guess methods of interest are render and renderProgressBar. Like I said, all I get is a white background until the loading is finished, but the print inside renderProgressBar prints the correct values.

Set projectionMatrix of ShapeRenderer using stage camera.
shapeRenderer.setProjectionMatrix(stage.getCamera().combined);

Can't center image scene2d

I'am trying to center my image, but I can't. I tryied everything with viewports and nothing. I won't want to use magic numbers to make the trick! it's possible that the default viewport is messing up?
here is my code:
public class LoadingScreen extends AbstractScreen{
private Stage stage;
private Texture texture;
private Image loading_image;
public LoadingScreen(XBallGame game ) {
super(game);
texture = TextureManager.SPLASH;
loading_image = new Image();
stage = new Stage();
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0,0,0,1); //sets clear color to black
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); //clear the batch
stage.act(delta);
stage.draw();
}
#Override
public void show() {
loading_image.addAction(Actions.sequence(Actions.alpha(0)
,Actions.fadeIn(0.5f),Actions.delay(2),Actions.run(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("DONE");
}
})));
stage.addActor(loading_image);
loading_image.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2, Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/2);
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
super.resize(width, height);
}
}
UPDATE (Fixed the problem) :
Just added this line:
loading_image.setPosition((Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2) - loading_image.getWidth()/2,
(Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/2) - loading_image.getHeight()/2);
and works fine!

LibGDX Screens overlapping when changing screens

Hi i'm kind of new to libGDX and I'm just creating a simple game app. I have a main menu screen and a level screen for my game. I have initialised the startup screen to the main menu. When i click the 'Play' button in the main menu screen, I want to switch the screen to the level select screen but what happens is that it does change the screen but the old one is rendering behind that as well. This is what is happening when i click the play button: http://prntscr.com/57teri
Game class:
public class BallJump extends Game {
MainMenu menu;
LevelSelect levelSelect;
#Override
public void create () {
menu = new MainMenu(this);
levelSelect = new LevelSelect(this);
setScreen(menu);
}
#Override
public void render () {
super.render();
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
super.resize(width, height);
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
super.dispose();
}
}
Main menu screen:
public class MainMenu implements Screen{
BallJump game;
Stage stage;
GameButton playButton, exitButton;
Texture title;
Sprite test;
SpriteBatch batch;
OrthographicCamera camera;
public MainMenu(BallJump game) {
this.game = game;
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl20.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl20.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
System.out.println("main menu");
stage.act();
stage.draw();
batch.begin();
test.draw(batch);
batch.end();
}
#Override
public void show() {
camera = new OrthographicCamera();
title = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("images/title.png"));
test = new Sprite(title);
batch = new SpriteBatch();
stage = new Stage();
test.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/7f, Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/1.75f);
playButton = new GameButton("PLAY");
playButton.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2.5f, Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/2);
playButton.setHeight(50f);
playButton.setWidth(150f);
playButton.addListener(new InputListener() {
public boolean touchDown (InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
game.setScreen(game.levelSelect);
dispose();
return true;
}});
stage.addActor(playButton);
exitButton = new GameButton("EXIT");
exitButton.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2.5f, Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/3);
exitButton.setHeight(50f);
exitButton.setWidth(150f);
exitButton.addListener(new InputListener() {
public boolean touchDown (InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
return true;
}});
stage.addActor(exitButton);
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(stage);
}
#Override
public void hide() {
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
camera.viewportWidth = width;
camera.viewportHeight = height;
camera.update();
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
batch.dispose();
stage.clear();
stage.dispose();
title.dispose();
}
Level select screen :
public class LevelSelect implements Screen{
BallJump game;
Stage stage;
TextButton l1, buttonExit;
Texture title;
Sprite test;
SpriteBatch batch;
OrthographicCamera camera;
public LevelSelect(BallJump game) {
this.game = game;
}
#Override
public void show() {
batch = new SpriteBatch();
stage = new Stage();
title = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("images/level_select.png"));
test = new Sprite(title);
test.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/7f, Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/1.75f);
stage.addActor(l1);
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
stage.act();
stage.draw();
batch.begin();
test.draw(batch);
batch.end();
System.out.println("level select");
}

Your LevelSelect screen needs to clear the buffer before drawing. If you don't do it, the last rendered frame from the Menu will always be on the buffer.
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl20.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl20.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
...
}

LibGDX - My splash screen isn't showing

Here is my splash screen:
package com.badlogic.gdx.screens;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Screen;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.GL20;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.Texture;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.Sprite;
import com.badlogic.gdx.graphics.g2d.SpriteBatch;
public class Splash implements Screen {
private SpriteBatch batch;
private Sprite splash;
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0,0,0,1); //sets clear color to black
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); //clear the batch
batch.begin();
splash.draw(batch);
batch.end();
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
}
#Override
public void show() {
batch = new SpriteBatch();
Texture texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("badlogic.jpg"));
splash = new Sprite(texture);
splash.setSize(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
}
#Override
public void hide() {
}
#Override
public void pause() {
}
#Override
public void resume() {
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
}
}
When I run the application, the splash screen doesn't show, it just jumps straight to the game itself. I'm knew at this so I'm not completely sure what the problem is. My best guess is that the splash screen isn't linked to the game screen but I'm not sure.
Heres the Main Game screen, I don't have a menu yet.
public class SlingshotSteve extends Game {
private OrthographicCamera camera;
// Creates our 2D images
private SpriteBatch batch;
private TextureRegion backgroundTexture;
private Texture texture;
#Override
public void create() {
setScreen(new Splash());
camera = new OrthographicCamera(1280, 720);
batch = new SpriteBatch();
Texture texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("background.jpg"));
backgroundTexture = new TextureRegion(texture, 0, 0, 500, 500);
Music mp3Sound = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.internal("rain.mp3"));
mp3Sound.setLooping(true);
mp3Sound.play();
}
#Override
public void render() {
super.render();
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
camera.update();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);
batch.begin();
batch.draw(backgroundTexture, 0, 0);
batch.end();
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
super.resize(width, height);
}
#Override
public void pause() {
super.pause();
}
#Override
public void resume() {
super.resume();
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
batch.dispose();
texture.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
}

I believe your problem lies here
#Override
public void render() {
super.render();
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
camera.update();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);
batch.begin();
batch.draw(backgroundTexture, 0, 0);
batch.end();
}
I believe that super.render() calls your current screen's render method, which means that your splash screen is indeed drawing itself. However, since right afterwards you draw your background, the actual splash screen is not visible.
Try commenting out everything but super.render(); in your render method, and see if that doesn't fix things.

It's because you provide an implementation for render() in your Game class, rather than use a separate Screen. If you use Screens, you mustn't provide an implementation for render() in your Game class.
Also, you should allocate the Texture for the SplashScreen in a constructor, rather than in the show() method. But that's just a minor caveat.

Why is this not displaying my background image title.png?

apologies in advance for the very newbie question, currently trying to learn libGDX, every tutorial suggests this should work, its correctly displaying the text button in the centre of the screen however it isnt showing the background image title.png.
ive played around with it quite a bit to try and get it to work with no luck, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
public class MainMenu implements Screen {
ZebraGems game;
Stage stage;
BitmapFont font;
BitmapFont blackfont;
TextureAtlas atlas;
Skin skin;
SpriteBatch batch;
TextButton button;
Texture titleTexture;
Sprite titleSprite;
public MainMenu(ZebraGems game){
this.game = game;
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
stage.act(delta);
batch.begin();
titleSprite.draw(batch);
stage.draw();
batch.end();
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
if (stage == null);
stage = new Stage (width, height, true);
stage.clear();
titleTexture = new Texture("data/title.png");
titleSprite = new Sprite(titleTexture);
titleSprite.setColor(1,1,1,0);
titleSprite.setSize(480, 800);
titleSprite.setPosition (0, 0);
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(stage);
TextButtonStyle style = new TextButtonStyle();
style.up = skin.getDrawable("play");
style.down = skin.getDrawable("playpressed");
style.font = blackfont;
button = new TextButton("", style);
button.setWidth(213);
button.setHeight(94);
button.setX(Gdx.graphics.getWidth() /2 - button.getWidth() /2);
button.setY(Gdx.graphics.getHeight() /2 - button.getHeight() /2);
stage.addActor(button);
}
#Override
public void show() {
batch = new SpriteBatch();
atlas = new TextureAtlas("data/playButton.pack");
skin = new Skin();
skin.addRegions(atlas);
blackfont = new BitmapFont(Gdx.files.internal("data/blackfont.fnt"));
}
#Override
public void hide() {
dispose();
}
#Override
public void pause() {
}
#Override
public void resume() {
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
batch.dispose();
skin.dispose();
atlas.dispose();
stage.dispose();
blackfont.dispose();
}
}

Move stage.draw() out of the batch.begin() and batch.end().
Furthermore in case you are using the latest nighty build of libgdx, you should add stage.getViewport().update(width, height, true) to your resize(...) method.
Furthermore you are doing this titleSprite.setColor(1,1,1,0) which sets the alpha of the background sprite to 0 which means 100% transparent = invisible.
Do this instead: titleSprite.setColor(1,1,1,1).
In total your render should look like this:
batch.begin();
titleSprite.draw(batch);
batch.end();
stage.act(delta);
stage.draw();
