Hi!
I have a problem with my Maps-application. I have the mapview in bottom in my layout, and above that a semitransparent image to give the map a specific look.
I also have a location overlay and another image overlay to mark out some interesting positions. The problem is that I don't want the semitransparent image to affect my overlay markers. They seem to be drawn directly on the map by default.
Is there a way to change something somehow so that the markers will be drawn above the semitransparent image (if they are visible on screen of course)?

Here's my problem. I finally figured out how to get my custom view
working, but discovered that "canvas.drawCircle(..)" draws based on
the screens dimensions and not the bitmap drawn to the canvas (I may be
misusing some terms/concepts here, still a little iffy on the whole
custom view).
Basically, I have a bitmap of a map image (decoded from a .jpg resource), and I want to be able to draw relative to the bitmap's pixel dimensions, and to the bitmap if possible, so that when it's panned/zoomed, it stays in its respective
place. Here is the code for my custom view. I x'd out my latitude and
longitude. The touch handling is code adapted from a Hello, Android
(3e) excerpt.
I'm currently working with "MAP" mode, but it will also come into
play for NAV. But I basically need to draw relative to the bitmap, which is
scaled and manipulated through the canvas(?) so that the current
location dot will stay in the same spot when the bitmap is panned or
zoomed, instead of staying in a static location based on the screen's
dimensions. Any advice?

Since SDK 4.2, Google has a way to retrieve the dimension of an existing appwidget. You can use the bundle in onAppWidgetOptionsChanged callback to retrieve the upper and lower bound of the widget. But I need to scale a bitmap precisely to fit the widget. Anyone knows if it's technical possible in existing SDK to get the pixel-correct dimension of the appwidget?
What's more, I found that the stock launcher in JB (as well as Apex) returns incorrect values for the upper and lower bound. For example, if the widget is in portrait, it may return a rectangular dimension in landscape. Nova, however, doesn't has this issue.
I am making simple ball game and l have problem.I can't change position of Ball. I tried:
1. SetX() and setY() but lower APIs aren't supported.
2. Params and margins but when I move it left or right, the whole activity content is moving with it. Up and down moving is working fine. (Activity will have 10 ImageViews)
3. Android animations - Problem is that I can't get coorinates (getLeft(), getTop()) during the animation.
4. Canvas and draw elements - I change position of image with onDraw() and invalidate() functions but when I but backgorund and all other images (as bitmaps) it is very slow.
Can you give to me any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Can you post the code? What do you exactly want to be done, there can be many different "ball games". You want to change the position of a bitmap or circle on the screen create x and y variables, draw bitmap or circle using them and if they change, the object will be drawn elsewhere
Hello everyone. I want to make a splash screen for my game. I need the image to fit the screen's width but I want the height to be larger than the screen's. Than, I will have an animation moving the image vertically, hiding the top part and showing the bottom one.
I have searched a lot and I am more puzzled now on how I should do this.
Firstly the only solution I found for the fitting part was a combination of java and xml. But the problem here is that the java class doesn't produce a bigger than the screen image, but a cropped image. So, I can't make the animation later on.
Than i figured out that I could use a scrollview. And after combining some solutions I found on the web, I managed to have the right dimensions for my image and avoid any cropping. But now I can't do the animation because I am using the "fromYDelta ... toYDelta" and I can't find a way to calculate how much to put in the "toYDelta" value. And it cannot be a fixed value because every screen is different and so the dimensions of my splash screen.
Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Should I do it only in java and don't use xml at all? Or is it possible to do this through xml only (which would be better I think)?
