Draw in Canvas by finger, Android
I need to build a project for drawing on canvas by fingers,
to get the touch event and motion event of my finger, and thence draw.
Any one can advice me how to get start in project,
and what is best component to do thing like this?
Answer
Start By going through the Fingerpaint demo in the sdk sample.
Another Sample:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
DrawingView dv ;
private Paint mPaint;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
dv = new DrawingView(this);
setContentView(dv);
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;
}
private void touch_move(float x, float 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);
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;
}
}
}

Explanation :
You are creating a view class then extends View. You override the onDraw(). You add the path of where finger touches and moves. You override the onTouch() of this purpose. In your onDraw() you draw the paths using the paint of your choice. You should call invalidate() to refresh the view.
To choose options you can click menu and choose the options.
The below can be used as a reference. You can modify the below according to your needs.
