Hi all,

Is there any method (It's like copyRect in Borland Delphi) in android 2d graphics that provide us with stuff like this:
I had an image (640 x 640). I just want to draw a certain area of the image on the emulator screen, like a rectangle from 0,0 to 200,200 (the pixel from 200,200 to 640,640 won't be drawn, so it's much faster and much efficient).

There's some method called clipRect in Canvas class. But it's returning a boolean....

Hello sasuke,

you can use invalidate(); to redraw the whole screen or use public void invalidate(Rect dirty); to invalidate just a short piece of a View.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were looking for...

Hello plusminus,

hmm.. i don't think that's what i look for.. it's not the screen, it's the image. I got 640 x 640 pixel image, that i want to be drawn on the 320 x 480 pixel screen, i am making a scrollable map. e.g,right now the image's region that i draw is 0,0 to 100,100. When i pressed RIGHT, the image's region become 10,0 to 110,100. so, everytime i just draw a 100 x 100 pixel from the 640 x 640 pixel image.

regards,
sasuke
