Hi guys,
I'm writing here now because the other sub forums seem to be flooded ....
i have a project where i have to place ressources (.png files) on a view. These ressources shall replace the self-drawed android.graphics.Picture objects on the view. The pictures are built up and passed on the following way:

Code: Select all

picture = new Picture();
canvas = picture.beginRecording(0, 0);
Reference.paint.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.drawable.col_listener));
Reference.paint.setStrokeWidth(3.0f);
canvas.drawLine(-12.0f, 0.0f, 13.0f,  0.0f, Reference.paint);
Reference.paint.setStrokeWidth(2.0f);
canvas.drawLine( 15.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f, -10.0f, Reference.paint);
canvas.drawLine( 15.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f,  10.0f, Reference.paint);
picture.endRecording();
Reference.arrowPicture = picture;


at the Reference class its processed like this:

Code: Select all

@Override
   public void draw(Canvas canvas, float inverseScaling, float counterRotation) {
      canvas.save();
      canvas.scale(inverseScaling, -inverseScaling);
      arrowPicture.draw(canvas);
      canvas.restore();
   }


Instead of the drawn picture i want a given ressource file to be processed instead and to be drawn on the canvas.
Does anyone have an smart solution for that?

Hi BossOss,

Flooded? You mean the spam we just got hit with here? Nobody does anything about it.

Here's some code to get a bitmap from resources then draw it:

Code: Select all

//gloabal bitmap if it needs to be done a lot
public Bitmap head = Bitmap.createBitmap(251,283, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

//load it from resources
head = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.small_head);

//put it on the canvas
canvas.drawBitmap(head, left, top, paint);


There are lots of drawBitmap()s that might work. This one may not be the best.

Hope this helps.
