I am attempting to build an Android program with a resizable rectangle over a camera view using this as a guide: How to create a resizable rectangle with user touch events on Android?
I have been stuck for a day as I am unable view the display over the relative layout and can't find the issue (I'm relatively new).
Here is my XML file:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<View
android:id="@+id/camera_box"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent">
</View>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_ChangeCamera"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:text="Switch Camera"
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:minWidth="100dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:text="Capture"
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
and here is my initialization:
public class TakePhoto extends Activity {
private Camera mCamera;
private PhotoHandler mPreview;
private PictureCallback mPicture;
private Button capture, switchCamera;
private View drawView;
private Context myContext;
private RelativeLayout cameraPreview;
private boolean cameraFront = false;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_page);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
myContext = this;
initialize();
}
public void initialize() {
cameraPreview = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
mPreview = new PhotoHandler(myContext, mCamera);
cameraPreview.addView(mPreview);
capture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture);
capture.setOnClickListener(captrureListener);
switchCamera = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_ChangeCamera);
switchCamera.setOnClickListener(switchCameraListener);
drawView = new DrawView(myContext);
drawView = findViewById(R.id.camera_box);
drawView.bringToFront();
}
//more code
}
DrawView overwrites onDraw and implements onTouchEvent, basically as done the solution posted by Nguyen Minh Binh in: How to create a resizable rectangle with user touch events on Android?
Could someone help with what I am missing?
Thanks
