How to create Rain Effect in surfaceView?

I'm trying to create a rain effect in android. I have already created the sprite class, what I don't know is how to do that appear X amount of drops per second or the time of life. Can somebody help me?
Thanks.
This is my code
Sprite class:
public class Sprite_Rain {
private Bitmap rain_drop;
private Game game;
private int speed = 50;
int x, y = -100;
boolean position = true;
Paint paint;
public Sprite_Rain(Game game, Bitmap rain_drop){
this.game = game;
this.rain_drop= rain_drop;
paint = new Paint();
}
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
if (position == true) {
Random random = new Random();
x = random.nextInt(canvas.getWidth());
position = false;
}
canvas.drawBitmap(rain_drop, x, y, null);
}
}
Game class:
public class Game extends SurfaceView {
private Bitmap rain_drop;
private Sprite_Rain sprite_rain;
Paint paint;
private List<Sprite_Rain> sprites = new ArrayList<Sprite_Rain>();
public Game(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
rain_drop = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.rain_drop);
sprite_rain = new Sprite_Rain(this, rain_drop);
paint = new Paint();
}
private Sprite_Rain createSprite(int resource) {
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), resource);
return new Sprite_Rain(this, bmp);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
int i = 0;
for (Sprite_Rain sprite : sprites) {
sprite.onDraw(canvas);
i++;
}
invalidate();
}
}

Custom ImageView loses transparency as soon as it goes out of screen in recycleView

I have a custom ImageView that overrides onDraw method to crop corners using Path to give rounded corner of given radius. I have a RecyclerView where I have these custom ImageView in all of the 4 items. Now the problem is this custom ImageView renders fine for the first time it shows up in the list. Only 2 accommodate in the screen at a time. As I scroll down everything is fine in all views. I can see rounded corner in all of them. But when I scroll up to previous item. Now these corner lose their transparency in corners and become black in all but third item in the list. Canvas in onDraw also has isOpaque = true. I have tried many things but nothing seem to be working. Here is the code
public class RoundedImageView extends ImageView
{
private Paint mPaint;
private int mCornerRadius = 0;
private boolean mRoundedTopLeft = true, mRoundedBottomLeft = true, mRoundedTopRight = true, mRoundedBottomRight = true;
public void setCornerRadius(int mCornerRadius)
{
this.mCornerRadius = mCornerRadius;
}
public void RoundCorners(boolean isRoundedTopLeft, boolean isRoundedTopRight, boolean isRoundedBottomLeft, boolean isRoundedBottomRight)
{
mRoundedTopLeft = isRoundedTopLeft;
mRoundedBottomLeft = isRoundedBottomLeft;
mRoundedBottomRight = isRoundedBottomRight;
mRoundedTopRight = isRoundedTopRight;
}
public RoundedImageView(Context context)
{
super(context);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
setupPaint();
}
public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
super(context, attrs);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
setupPaint();
}
public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr)
{
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
setupPaint();
}
#TargetApi(21)
public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes)
{
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
setupPaint();
}
private Paint setupPaint()
{
mPaint = new Paint();
mPaint.setColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
mPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
mPaint.setDither(true);
mPaint.setStrokeWidth(1);
mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
mPaint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR));
return mPaint;
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
super.onDraw(canvas);
Path path = RoundedRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), mCornerRadius, mCornerRadius,
mRoundedTopLeft, mRoundedTopRight, mRoundedBottomRight, mRoundedBottomLeft);
canvas.drawPath(path, mPaint);
}
public static Path RoundedRect(
float left, float top, float right, float bottom, float rx, float ry,
boolean tl, boolean tr, boolean br, boolean bl)
{
Path path = new Path();
if (rx < 0) rx = 0;
if (ry < 0) ry = 0;
float width = right - left;
float height = bottom - top;
if (rx > width / 2) rx = width / 2;
if (ry > height / 2) ry = height / 2;
float widthMinusCorners = (width - (2 * rx));
float heightMinusCorners = (height - (2 * ry));
path.moveTo(right, top + ry);
if (tr)
path.rQuadTo(0, -ry, -rx, -ry);//top-right corner
else
{
path.rLineTo(0, -ry);
path.rLineTo(-rx, 0);
}
path.rLineTo(-widthMinusCorners, 0);
if (tl)
path.rQuadTo(-rx, 0, -rx, ry); //top-left corner
else
{
path.rLineTo(-rx, 0);
path.rLineTo(0, ry);
}
path.rLineTo(0, heightMinusCorners);
if (bl)
path.rQuadTo(0, ry, rx, ry);//bottom-left corner
else
{
path.rLineTo(0, ry);
path.rLineTo(rx, 0);
}
path.rLineTo(widthMinusCorners, 0);
if (br)
path.rQuadTo(rx, 0, rx, -ry); //bottom-right corner
else
{
path.rLineTo(rx, 0);
path.rLineTo(0, -ry);
}
path.rLineTo(0, -heightMinusCorners);
path.close();//Given close, last lineto can be removed.
path.setFillType(Path.FillType.INVERSE_EVEN_ODD);
return path;
}
}
What I have already tried:
- setting isRecyclable false in ViewHolder
setting different PorterDuff mode in paint
LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE (hardware acceleration) for this view
setDrawingCacheBackgroundColor(0x00000000); in constructor
setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, paint); passing paint in this function
tried making canvas transparent before super.onDraw()
UPDATE:
After a lot of fiddling around I have concluded that whenever my viewHolder's view goes out of screen. All it's alpha channel become black. I have a feeling it has to do something with the setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

Worked by making the parent software accelerated.
I solved it by putting
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)
view.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
in constructor of my ViewHolder. It worked even if I enabled software acceleration for any parent container view.
Now I don't know why this worked.

Android Canvas drawLine not drawing on MainActivity

I want to draw a line on the Main Activity using Canvas. The problem is, it is not drawing anything. I have the following code:
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(1920, 1080, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);

you can display the bitmap like that:
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, positionX, positionY, paint);
in your case you can try somthing like this:
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
but you need to use a diffrent canvas for it. The canvas wich let you draw stuff on your screen will be passed to your onDraw() method in your View. So you need to make a View class first and add it in your MainActivity.
You can do that like this:
First you create a class called MyView and add this code to it:
public class MyView extends View {
Bitmap bitmap;
public MyView(Context context) {
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(1920, 1080, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
}
then you change the code in your onCreate() method in your MainActivity to this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
MyView myView = new MyView(this);
setContentView(myView);
}

Create a class like this
public class MyView extends View {
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setStrokeWidth(10);
float left = 20;
float top = 20;
float right = 50;
float bottom = 100;
canvas.drawLine(left, top, right, bottom, paint);
}
}

Draw a circle onto a view (android)

I am starting with my first attempts to write an android app. I'd like to to visualize the Monte-Carlo-Approximation for pi. Hence I first want to draw a Circle onto a view but i dont get it working!
I have tried to create my own "CircleView" Class which extends "View" and overwrite the onDraw(..) method like its explained over here: How to draw circle by canvas in Android?
This is my CircleView Class
public class CircleView extends View {
public CircleView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
super.onDraw(canvas);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(150);
canvas.drawCircle(50,50,20,paint);
}
}
I have inserted the CircleView into a LinearLayout with the following XML-code
<com.tak3r07.montecarlopi.CircleView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/circleView"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
(Btw Android Studio is telling me in the XML-view at the right side: "Rendering Problems Custom view CircleView is not using the 2- or 3-argument View constructors; XML attributes will not work")
The App just crashes with the following log: http://pastebin.com/Gv1GaHtX
Can someone tell what i did wrong?
I thought this setup would create an activity with a view which displays a circle.
Regards
Edit: Crash is fixed by adding the 2 and 3 Parameter Constructor in CircleView (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/13797457/3248708)
But now i still do not see any Circle in the activity

A couple of observations:
You need to take into account the width and height assigned to your view when determining your circle's center point and radius.
You should take into account the padding assigned to your View so you don't draw in that reserved portion.
You should avoid allocating objects within your onDraw method since this gets called a lot.
In order to allow your view to be specified in an XML layout, you need to provide the constructor that takes a Context and an AttributeSet. The AttributeSet is the mechanism by which your XML attributes are passed to your view.
Give this a try:
package com.tak3r07.montecarlopi;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
public class CircleView extends View
{
private static final int DEFAULT_CIRCLE_COLOR = Color.RED;
private int circleColor = DEFAULT_CIRCLE_COLOR;
private Paint paint;
public CircleView(Context context)
{
super(context);
init(context, null);
}
public CircleView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
super(context, attrs);
init(context, attrs);
}
private void init(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
{
paint = new Paint();
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
}
public void setCircleColor(int circleColor)
{
this.circleColor = circleColor;
invalidate();
}
public int getCircleColor()
{
return circleColor;
}
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
super.onDraw(canvas);
int w = getWidth();
int h = getHeight();
int pl = getPaddingLeft();
int pr = getPaddingRight();
int pt = getPaddingTop();
int pb = getPaddingBottom();
int usableWidth = w - (pl + pr);
int usableHeight = h - (pt + pb);
int radius = Math.min(usableWidth, usableHeight) / 2;
int cx = pl + (usableWidth / 2);
int cy = pt + (usableHeight / 2);
paint.setColor(circleColor);
canvas.drawCircle(cx, cy, radius, paint);
}
}

You can create a Circular layout and inside this view, every childs should be rounded up :
public class CircleView extends FrameLayout {
private Bitmap maskBitmap;
private Paint paint, maskPaint;
public CircleView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public CircleView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public CircleView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init();
}
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public CircleView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
init();
}
private void init() {
paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
maskPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG | Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG);
maskPaint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR));
setWillNotDraw(false);
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
Bitmap offscreenBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(getWidth(), getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas offscreenCanvas = new Canvas(offscreenBitmap);
super.draw(offscreenCanvas);
if (maskBitmap == null) {
maskBitmap = createMask(getWidth(), getHeight());
}
offscreenCanvas.drawBitmap(maskBitmap, 0f, 0f, maskPaint);
canvas.drawBitmap(offscreenBitmap, 0f, 0f, paint);
}
private Bitmap createMask(int width, int height) {
Bitmap mask = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ALPHA_8);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mask);
Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, width, height, paint);
paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR));
canvas.drawRoundRect(new RectF(0, 0, width, height), width/2f, height/2f, paint);
return mask;
}
}

How to draw circle by canvas in Android?

I want to draw circle by canvas. Here is my code:
[MyActivity.java]:
public class MyActivity extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
...
setContentView(new View(this,w,h));
}
}
[View.java]:
public class View extends SurfaceView
{
public View(Context context, int w, int h)
{
super(context);
Canvas grid = new Canvas(Bitmap.createBitmap(h,w, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888));
grid. drawColor(Color.WHITE);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
grid.drawCircle(w/2, h/2 , w/2, paint);
}
}
So I have just black screen without circle.
Why it does not work? How to fix it?

You can override the onDraw method of your view and draw the circle.
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawCircle(x, y, radius, paint);
}
For a better reference on drawing custom views check out the official Android documentation.
http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/custom-drawing.html

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(new MyView(this));
}
public class MyView extends View
{
Paint paint = null;
public MyView(Context context)
{
super(context);
paint = new Paint();
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
super.onDraw(canvas);
int x = getWidth();
int y = getHeight();
int radius;
radius = 100;
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
canvas.drawPaint(paint);
// Use Color.parseColor to define HTML colors
paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#CD5C5C"));
canvas.drawCircle(x / 2, y / 2, radius, paint);
}
}
}
Edit
if you want to draw circle at centre. You could also translate your entire canvas to center then draw circle at center.using
canvas.translate(getWidth()/2f,getHeight()/2f);
canvas.drawCircle(0,0, radius, paint);

Xml example: will produce a circle of 5dp
<com.example.CircleView
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"/>

If you are using your own CustomView extending View class, you need to call canvas.invalidate() method which will internally call onDraw method. You can use default API for canvas to draw a circle. The x, y cordinate define the center of the circle. You can also define color and styling in paint & pass the paint object.
public class CustomView extends View {
public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setupPaint();
}
}
Define default paint settings and canvas (Initialise paint in constructor so that you can reuse the same object everywhere and change only specific settings wherever required)
private Paint drawPaint;
// Setup paint with color and stroke styles
private void setupPaint() {
drawPaint = new Paint();
drawPaint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
drawPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
drawPaint.setStrokeWidth(5);
drawPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
drawPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
drawPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
}
And initialise canvas object
private Canvas canvas;
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
this.canvas = canvas;
canvas.drawCircle(xCordinate, yCordinate, RADIUS, drawPaint);
}
And finally, for every view refresh or new draw on the screen, you need to call invalidate method. Remember your entire view is redrawn, hence this is an expensive call. Make sure you do only the necessary operations in onDraw
canvas.invalidate();
For more details on canvas drawing refer https://medium.com/#mayuri.k18/android-canvas-for-drawing-and-custom-views-e1a3e90d468b

#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
canvas.drawCircle(xPos, yPos,radius, paint);
}
Above is the code to render a circle. Tweak the parameters to your suiting.

Try this
The entire code for drawing a circle or download project source code and test it on your android studio. Draw circle on canvas programmatically.

}
private void onDraw(){
Canvas canvas=new Canvas();
if (bmp.getWidth() == 0 || bmp.getHeight() == 0) {
return;
}
int w = bmp.getWidth(), h = bmp.getHeight();
Bitmap roundBitmap = getRoundedCroppedBitmap(bmp, w);
img.setImageBitmap(roundBitmap);
}
public static Bitmap getRoundedCroppedBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int radius) {
Bitmap finalBitmap;
if (bitmap.getWidth() != radius || bitmap.getHeight() != radius)
finalBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, radius, radius,
false);
else
finalBitmap = bitmap;
Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(finalBitmap.getWidth(),
finalBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);
final Paint paint = new Paint();
final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, finalBitmap.getWidth(),
finalBitmap.getHeight());
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setFilterBitmap(true);
paint.setDither(true);
canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#BAB399"));
canvas.drawCircle(finalBitmap.getWidth() / 2 + 0.7f, finalBitmap.getHeight() / 2 + 0.7f, finalBitmap.getWidth() / 2 + 0.1f, paint);
paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));
canvas.drawBitmap(finalBitmap, rect, rect, paint);
return output;
}

Here is example to draw stroke circle canvas
val paint = Paint().apply {
color = Color.RED
style = Paint.Style.STROKE
strokeWidth = 10f
}
override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
super.onDraw(canvas)
canvas?.drawCircle(200f, 100f, 100f, paint)
}
Result
Example to draw solid circle canvas
val paint = Paint().apply {
color = Color.RED
}
override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
super.onDraw(canvas)
canvas?.drawCircle(200f, 100f, 100f, paint)
}
Result
Hope it help

private Paint green = new Paint();
private int greenx , greeny;
green.setColor(Color.GREEN);
green.setAntiAlias(false);
