How do I map some areas in an image to be clickable. I have been looking for solutions and got the following solutions:

  1. Using a percentRelativeLayout

  2. Mask the image and get the pixel color of that underneath image to know which area has been clicked

  3. Using AndroidMap

  4. ClickableAreasImages

None of these really gives a solution to my problem. Isn't there any way in Android to map images like html? How do I map an area of any shape so that it becomes clickable?

The area needs to be adjusted even if i zoom the image.

Also I want to change that clicked area to a specific color.

===== Edit ========

Below is the code I am using to zoom the image.

public class ZoomableImageView extends android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView
{

   /* public ZoomableImageView(Context context) {
        this(context, (AttributeSet)null);
    }*/

    public OnCustomEventListener mListener; //listener field

    //setting the listener
    public void setCustomEventListener(OnCustomEventListener eventListener) {
        this.mListener=eventListener;
    }


    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();

    static final int NONE = 0;
    static final int DRAG = 1;
    static final int ZOOM = 2;
    static final int CLICK = 3;
    int mode = NONE;

    PointF last = new PointF();
    PointF start = new PointF();
    float minScale = 1f;
    float maxScale = 4f;
    float[] m;

    float redundantXSpace, redundantYSpace;
    float width, height;
    float saveScale = 1f;
    float right, bottom, origWidth, origHeight, bmWidth, bmHeight;

    ScaleGestureDetector mScaleDetector;
    Context context;

    public ZoomableImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attr)
    {
        super(context, attr);
        super.setClickable(true);
        this.context = context;
        mScaleDetector = new ScaleGestureDetector(context, new ScaleListener());
        matrix.setTranslate(1f, 1f);
        m = new float[9];

Why not just use the Image "setOnTouchListener()" and check if the current X/Y coords are inside an array of Rects?

ArrayList<Rect> mAreas = new ArrayList<>();
mAreas.add(new Rect(0,0,200,200));
mAreas.add(new Rect(300,0, 500, 300));

mImageView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        for (final Rect cRect : mAreas) {
            if (cRect.contains(event.getX(), event.getY())) {
                Toast.makeText(getContext(), "AREA TOUCHED!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
});

  • I tried this but if i rotate the device then same coordinates doesn't work. – Rashedul Hasan Jan 09 '19 at 17:09
  • "event.getX()" is View relative and not Screen relative, so if the screen is rotated the next Event should give the same coordinate. You have to define/choose Rects by using View RELATIVE Coords ("0,0" is at Top-Left corner of that View and "Width,Height" is at the Bottom-Right corner) – emandt Jan 10 '19 at 08:07
  • thanks. I was thinking the same. If I am not wrong then you are suggesting me to make the view fixed height width. right? – Rashedul Hasan Jan 11 '19 at 11:11
  • You need to know/get Width and Height of the ImageView to be sure to not define Areas outside its bounds – emandt Jan 11 '19 at 14:10
