Hi, I'm brand new to this android coding. Started like 3 days ago. Have been coding C# for like 2 years but no Java. And I'm REALLY frustrated at the moment. I'm currently working on this app where I got a button and a textview on top. A progressbar at the bottom on a regular AbsoluteLayout thingie. What this app does is it gets the max amplitude from my mic every 100 milliseconds for 1 minute and saves the values into an int vector. What I want to do is have a designated are about 250x250 pixels located between my button and my progress bar where I can draw stuff... Like a line or a circle or whatever... Doesn't really matter what, I just want to be able to draw someting in the middle of the screen without the other stuff dissapearing. I've tried working with canvases but everytime I draw something the canvas takes up all of my screen thus hiding my controls. I've been looking for something to tell me how to do this for about 5 hours not but I can't find anything helpful How do I do this? /Raffe
I recently been doing some drawings on top of a MapView by way of onDraw and the canvas and havn't had a problem. Could you maybe post some of your code where you were drawing to the canvas and I'll see if I can see anything wrong with it.
I've found that extending the View class and then setting your new view to have a specific size in your layout XML works to confine drawing to a limited portion of the screen. Could you post your solution? It might help others searching for the same thing.
