i am working on a android project for my assignment. i am trying to make a scratch image application, you know it's like we scratch the screen to get rid the blocking layer to display the image. but the problem is i don't know where to start. i have searching in stackoverflow's questions that related to this but that's not help. from my search there, i found a clue for this project is using Bitmap.getPixel(int x, int y). so, in my thought i have to get pixel from bitmap and paint it to canvas. but i don't know how to implement it? or anyone has a better method for this? Could anyone please help me? Any tutorials on this kind of thing or related topics? Thanks in advance! here's my sample code: @Override protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) { super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh); tw = w; th = h; eraseableBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); mCanvas = new Canvas(eraseableBitmap); Bitmap muteableBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(eraseableBitmap.getWidth(), eraseableBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { static_x = event.getX(); static_y = event.getY(); if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { touch_start(static_x, static_y); } if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) { touch_move(static_x, static_y); } if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { touch_up(); } return true; }
