Why are my actors not being drawn with the correct bounds in LibGDX?

I have been having a hell of a time trying to get this stage thing figured out. I basically want to draw a background image that fills the entire stage. The image is 1920x1080. The problem is that the image is being drawn at half the width and half of the height that it should be. The application is set to fullscreen and the inside corner of the image is at the center of the screen. I have tested the dimensions of the camera, the viewport, and the stage. All are correct. What am I doing wrong? By the way, I am using a custom game state manager to handle different screens so I apologize for the seemingly needless extra code.

libgdx world to screen pos and factors

I want to draw a texture on a body, which is a box.
How do I convert the coordinates of the body to screen coordinates?
I know that the other way around is with camera.unproject(pos), is it similar to this?
I see a lot of people using constants such as WORLD_TO_SCREEN = 32, but I currently don't have that in my game. Is that a problem, and how can I implement it now? Because it seems like people that are using these factors can convert world to screen positions easily. I currently have a camera and an ExtendViewport
camera = new OrthographicCamera(VIEWPORT_WIDTH, VIEWPORT_HEIGHT);
viewport = new ExtendViewport(VIEWPORT_WIDTH, VIEWPORT_HEIGHT, camera);
camera.position.set(VIEWPORT_WIDTH/2, VIEWPORT_HEIGHT/2, 0f);
Viewport width and height are set to this
public static final int VIEWPORT_WIDTH = 20;
public static final int VIEWPORT_HEIGHT = 22;
I don't really know what I'm doing, I read documentation and read some tutorials, but if someone could give some explanation about these variables and the world_to_screen factor that would really help me out.
I also set APP_WIDTH=1280, APP_HEIGHT = 720
Do viewport width and height mean that for box2d my screen is 20 meters wide and 22 meters high?
(asking it again because I added a lot the question and I would really like to know these things)
[EDIT]
So I'm trying to draw a ground picture on the ground body
float x = stage.getGround().getX();
float y = stage.getGround().getY();
float w = stage.getGround().getWidth();
float h = stage.getGround().getHeight();
stage.act(delta);
stage.draw();
stage.updateCamera();
Texture texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("ground.png"));
Sprite sprite = new Sprite(texture);
sprite.setSize(w, h);
sprite.setPosition(x-sprite.getWidth()/2, y-sprite.getHeight()/2);
But I don't see it anywhere

We mostly use Pixel to meter conversion because box2d best works in meters (0-10) but you can avoid this conversion by using small worldwidth and height of your viewport. I mostly prefer 48 and 80 as viewport width and height.
You can use unproject(vector3) method of camera that translate a point given in screen coordinates to world space. I am using this method in touchdown because I get screen coordinate as parameter then I need to convert it into camera world space so that I can generate object at a particular position in world.

How to show loading screen class before preferences [Libgdx & android]

So I am programming a game, and implemented preferences to save/load some simple data for sound/high score, nothing too much. The problem is that when I load preferences for the first time on a physical phone (samsung g. s3) it takes about 15sec and on s5 it takes about 5-8secs and in that time it shows black screen even though I have set the loading screen to be shown first, before preferences are used.
In my main application code I set screen to loadingScreen
loadingScreen = new com.package.game.Screens.LoadingScreen(this);
mainScreen = new com.package.game.Screens.MainScreen(this);
gameScreen = new com.package.game.Screens.GameScreen(this);
settingsScreen = new com.package.game.Screens.SettingsScreen(this);
this.setScreen(loadingScreen);
and then in my loading screen I access preferences:
#Override
public void show() {
this.progress_assets = 0f;
this.progress_assets = 0f;
font_loading = app.initFont(50, 1, 255, 255, 255, 1);
queueAssets();
loading_db();
}
private void loading_db() {
if(database.get_first_time()){
//do some introduction for first time run
Gdx.app.log("db","first time worked");
database.set_first_time();
progress_db=1f;
}else{
Gdx.app.log("db","first time is set false");
progress_db=1f;
}
}
and my preferences class:
package com.package.game.Engine;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Preferences;
import com.package.game.Application;
public class Database {
private Preferences preferences;
//database
private Preferences pref_settings;
private Preferences pref_score;
private Preferences pref_unlocks;
public Database(){
pref_settings = Gdx.app.getPreferences("com.package.game.settings");
pref_score = Gdx.app.getPreferences("com.package.game.score");
pref_unlocks = Gdx.app.getPreferences("com.package.game.unlocks");
}
//checking if first time run
public boolean get_first_time(){
return pref_settings.getBoolean("First_run",true);
}
public void set_first_time(){
pref_settings.putBoolean("First_run",false);
for(int i=0;i<7;i++){
pref_unlocks.putBoolean("unlock_"+i,true);
}
pref_unlocks.flush();
pref_settings.flush();
}
//settings
public boolean getSound(){
return pref_settings.getBoolean("sound_on",true);
}
public void setSound(boolean sound){
pref_settings.putBoolean("sound_on",sound);
pref_settings.flush();
}
//High Score Mode:
//Classic
public int getScore_classic(int place){
return pref_score.getInteger("score_classic_"+place,0);//default value 0 so we could place new score if we havent reached it
}
public void setScore_classic(int place,int scored){
pref_score.putInteger("score_classic_"+place,scored);
pref_score.flush();
}
//Recipe
public int getScoreRec(int place){
return pref_score.getInteger("score_recipe_"+place,0);//default value 0 so we could place new score if we havent reached it
}
public void setScoreRec(int place,int scored){
pref_score.putInteger("score_recipe_"+place,scored);
pref_score.flush();
}
//food unlocks
public boolean getFoodUnlock(int unlockID){
return pref_unlocks.getBoolean("unlock_"+unlockID,false);
}
public void setFoodUnlock(int unlockID,boolean state){
pref_unlocks.putBoolean("unlock_"+unlockID,state);
pref_unlocks.flush();
}
}
I'm not sure if creating 3 pref. files is good, but i would like to know how to show screen before pref. file being created/loaded.

You can quickly load a single texture to show while everything else loads. Load and show the texture the first time render() is called. Then the second time render() is called, load your stuff, dispose the texture, and switch screens.
public class LoadingScreen extends Screen {
private boolean firstFrame = true;
private Texture texture;
private ExtendViewport viewport;
private MyGame game;
private SpriteBatch batch;
private static final float LOAD_IMAGE_WIDTH = 480, LOAD_IMAGE_HEIGHT = 600;
// Use whatever the loading image dimensions are.
public LoadingScreen (MyGame game, SpriteBatch batch){
this.game = game;
this.batch = batch;
viewport = new ExtendViewport(LOAD_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOAD_IMAGE_HEIGHT);
}
public void resize (int width, int height) {
viewport.update(width, height, false);
viewport.getCamera().position.set(LOAD_IMAGE_WIDTH / 2, LOAD_IMAGE_HEIGHT / 2, 0);
viewport.getCamera().update();
}
public void show (){} // do nothing
public void render (float delta) {
if (firstFrame){
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
viewport.apply();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(viewport.getCamera().combined);
batch.setBlendingDisabled(true);
batch.begin();
batch.draw(texture, 0, 0, LOAD_IMAGE_WIDTH, LOAD_IMAGE_HEIGHT);
batch.end();
firstFrame = false;
} else {
loadEverything();
// Notice you don't actually render anything so what you previously drew stays on the screen.
}
}
private void loadEverything(){
// load your font, assets, prefs, etc.
texture.dispose();
main.setGameScreen();
}
}

Issue with sounds in libgdx

I am having issues with libgdx sound inside a ClickListener for my button.
I am getting the error Syntax error on token "PlayButtonSound", Identifier expected after this token
SoundManager:
import utils.Constants;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.audio.Music;
import com.badlogic.gdx.audio.Sound;
public class SoundManager {
private static Sound buttonSound = Gdx.audio.newSound(Constants.buttonSound);
private static Music song = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Constants.song);
public static void PlayMusic() {
song.setLooping(true);
song.setVolume(0.2f);
song.play();
}
public static void PlayButtonSound() {
buttonSound.play();
}
public void DestryoAudio() {
buttonSound.dispose();
song.dispose();
}
}
And MainMenu:
public class MainMenu implements Screen {
private Stage stage;
private Sprite sprite;
private TextureRegion menuBackgroundImg;
private TextureAtlas menuButton;
private Skin skin;
private BitmapFont font;
private Table table;
private TextButton playButton;
#Override
public void show() {
// Set stage
stage = new Stage();
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(stage);
SoundManager.PlayMusic();
// Set menu baggrund
menuBackgroundImg = new TextureRegion(new Texture(Gdx.files.internal(Constants.menuBackgroundImg)));
sprite = new Sprite(menuBackgroundImg);
sprite.setSize(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
// Set menuknapper
menuButton = new TextureAtlas(Constants.menuButton);
skin = new Skin(menuButton);
// Set font
font = new BitmapFont(Constants.font, false);
// Set table
table = new Table(skin);
table.setBounds(0, 0, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
// Create button styling
TextButtonStyle textButtonStyle = new TextButtonStyle();
textButtonStyle.up = skin.getDrawable("menuButtonUp");
textButtonStyle.down = skin.getDrawable("menuButtonPressed");
textButtonStyle.pressedOffsetX = 1;
textButtonStyle.pressedOffsetY = -1;
textButtonStyle.font = font;
textButtonStyle.fontColor = Color.BLACK;
// Create buttons
playButton = new TextButton(Constants.play, textButtonStyle);
playButton.addListener(new InputListener() {
SoundManager.PlayButtonSound(); // This is the error
});
// Button padding
playButton.pad(20, 100, 20, 100);
// Setting the table
table.add(playButton).row();
// Setting stage actor
stage.addActor(table);
}
#Override
public void render(float delta) {
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// Tegn baggrund
stage.getBatch().begin();
sprite.draw(stage.getBatch());
stage.getBatch().end();
// Tegn resten
stage.act(delta);
stage.draw();
}
...
#Override
public void dispose() {
stage.dispose();
menuButton.dispose();
skin.dispose();
font.dispose();
}
}
I can't really grasp what I am doing wrong and a search for the error gives vague answers that dosen't really solves my issue.
P.S. I have imported SoundManager but left it out due to length of the code snippet.

You need to implement one of the InputListener interface methods, most likely touchDown(InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button).
Check out the API for InputListener. It lists all the methods and gives a pretty good example.
playButton.addListener(new InputListener() {
public boolean touchDown (InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
SoundManager.PlayButtonSound();
return false;
}
});

How to zoom in and out on a stage in libgdx Scene2d?

I am making a 2d game using libgdx and am adding hexagon shaped actors to a group which is then added to a stage. For a normal camera you can use camera.zoom in the render method to zoom in and out along with camera.translate to pan around the world.
I have been getting the camera used by the stage using stage.getCamera() and I can still call stage.getcamera().translate however there is no stage.getCamera().zoom option.
Here is my code:
//import statements
public class HexGame implements ApplicationListener{
private Stage stage;
private Texture hexTexture;
private Group hexGroup;
private int screenWidth;
private int screenHeight;
#Override
public void create() {
hexTexture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("hex.png"));
screenHeight = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
screenWidth = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
stage = new Stage(new ScreenViewport());
hexGroup = new HexGroup(screenWidth,screenHeight,hexTexture);
stage.addActor(hexGroup);
}
#Override
public void dispose() {
stage.dispose();
hexTexture.dispose();
}
#Override
public void render() {
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
stage.act(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime());
stage.draw();
handleInput();
stage.getCamera().update();
}
private void handleInput() {
if (Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.LEFT)) {
stage.getCamera().translate(-3, 0, 0);
}
if (Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.RIGHT)) {
stage.getCamera().translate(3, 0, 0);
}
if (Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.DOWN)) {
stage.getCamera().translate(0, -3, 0);
}
if (Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.UP)) {
stage.getCamera().translate(0, 3, 0);
}
//This is the part that doesn't work
/*
if (Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.Z)) {
stage.getCamera().zoom += 0.02;
}
*/
}
#Override
public void resize(int width, int height) {
stage.getViewport().update(width, height);
}
#Override
public void pause() {
}
#Override
public void resume() {
}
}
Any help is appreciated, and if there is anything else wrong with my code please let me know, I'm new to libgdx. Thanks

Zoom is available in OrthographicCamera class and by default Stage class create a OrthographicCamera
/** Creates a stage with a {#link ScalingViewport} set to {#link Scaling#stretch}. The stage will use its own {#link Batch}
* which will be disposed when the stage is disposed. */
public Stage () {
this(new ScalingViewport(Scaling.stretch, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight(), new OrthographicCamera()),
new SpriteBatch());
ownsBatch = true;
}
So what you need is to cast your camera to OrthographicCamera:
((OrthographicCamera)stage.getCamera()).zoom += 0.02f;
