I am working on an application which captures an applicant's signature and saves it to the phone memory. The class used for the signature view is given below
public class SignatureView extends View {
private static final float STROKE_WIDTH = 5f;
/** Need to track this so the dirty region can accommodate the stroke. **/
private static final float HALF_STROKE_WIDTH = STROKE_WIDTH / 2;
private Paint paint = new Paint();
private Path path = new Path();
/**
* Optimizes painting by invalidating the smallest possible area.
*/
private float lastTouchX;
private float lastTouchY;
private final RectF dirtyRect = new RectF();
public SignatureView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
paint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
paint.setStrokeWidth(STROKE_WIDTH);
}
/**
* Erases the signature.
*/
public void clear() {
path.reset();
// Repaints the entire view.
invalidate();
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawARGB(255, 233, 255, 255);
canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
float eventX = event.getX();
float eventY = event.getY();
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
path.moveTo(eventX, eventY);
lastTouchX = eventX;
lastTouchY = eventY;
// There is no end point yet, so don't waste cycles invalidating.
return true;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
// Start tracking the dirty region.
resetDirtyRect(eventX, eventY);
// When the hardware tracks events faster than they are delivered, the
// event will contain a history of those skipped points.
int historySize = event.getHistorySize();
for (int i = 0; i < historySize; i++) {
float historicalX = event.getHistoricalX(i);
float historicalY = event.getHistoricalY(i);
expandDirtyRect(historicalX, historicalY);
path.lineTo(historicalX, historicalY);
}
// After replaying history, connect the line to the touch point.
path.lineTo(eventX, eventY);
break;
default:
//debug("Ignored touch event: " + event.toString());
return false;
}
// Include half the stroke width to avoid clipping.
invalidate(
(int) (dirtyRect.left - HALF_STROKE_WIDTH),
(int) (dirtyRect.top - HALF_STROKE_WIDTH),
(int) (dirtyRect.right + HALF_STROKE_WIDTH),
(int) (dirtyRect.bottom + HALF_STROKE_WIDTH));
lastTouchX = eventX;
lastTouchY = eventY;
return true;
}
/**
* Called when replaying history to ensure the dirty region includes all
* points.
*/
private void expandDirtyRect(float historicalX, float historicalY) {
if (historicalX < dirtyRect.left) {
dirtyRect.left = historicalX;
} else if (historicalX > dirtyRect.right) {
dirtyRect.right = historicalX;
}
if (historicalY < dirtyRect.top) {
dirtyRect.top = historicalY;
} else if (historicalY > dirtyRect.bottom) {
dirtyRect.bottom = historicalY;
}
}
/**
* Resets the dirty region when the motion event occurs.
*/
private void resetDirtyRect(float eventX, float eventY) {
// The lastTouchX and lastTouchY were set when the ACTION_DOWN
// motion event occurred.
dirtyRect.left = Math.min(lastTouchX, eventX);
dirtyRect.right = Math.max(lastTouchX, eventX);
dirtyRect.top = Math.min(lastTouchY, eventY);
dirtyRect.bottom = Math.max(lastTouchY, eventY);
}
// get drawn image as bitmap
public Bitmap getBitmap() {
this.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
this.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(this.getDrawingCache());
this.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
return bmp;
}
public boolean isDrawn(){
return ! path.isEmpty();
}
}
This class returns the signature bitmap.This view works fine for devices with Android 8.0 and below, but its not working for Android 8.0 plus devices. For Devices above Android 8.0, the method getBitmap() returns a bitmap of the signature, but for Devices above Android 8.0, it returns empty.
Another Solution I tried which did not work either
public class SignatureViewType3 extends View {
private Bitmap _Bitmap;
private Canvas _Canvas;
private Path _Path;
private Paint _BitmapPaint;
private Paint _paint;

private float _mY;

private float LineThickness = 4;
private boolean signatureAdded;
public SignatureViewType3(Context context, AttributeSet attr) {
super(context, attr);
_Path = new Path();
_BitmapPaint = new Paint(Paint.DITHER_FLAG);
_paint = new Paint();
_paint.setAntiAlias(true);
_paint.setDither(true);
_paint.setColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 0, 0));
_paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
_paint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
_paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
_paint.setStrokeWidth(LineThickness);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
_Bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, (h > 0 ? h : ((View) this.getParent()).getHeight()), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
_Canvas = new Canvas(_Bitmap);
}

canvas.drawBitmap(_Bitmap, 0, 0, _BitmapPaint);
canvas.drawPath(_Path, _paint);
}
private void TouchStart(float x, float y) {
_Path.reset();
_Path.moveTo(x, y);
_mX = x;
_mY = y;
}
private void TouchMove(float x, float y) {
float dx = Math.abs(x - _mX);
float dy = Math.abs(y - _mY);
if (dx >= TouchTolerance || dy >= TouchTolerance) {
_Path.quadTo(_mX, _mY, (x + _mX) / 2, (y + _mY) / 2);
_mX = x;
_mY = y;
}
}
private void TouchUp() {
if (!_Path.isEmpty()) {
_Path.lineTo(_mX, _mY);
_Canvas.drawPath(_Path, _paint);
} else {
_Canvas.drawPoint(_mX, _mY, _paint);
}
signatureAdded = true;

}
