How to draw circle by canvas in Android?

Question

I want to draw circle by canvas. Here is my code:

[MyActivity.java]:

public class MyActivity extends Activity 
{
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInst         


        

Answer 1

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{

     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
     {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(new MyView(this));
     }

     public class MyView extends View
     {
         Paint paint = null;
         public MyView(Context context) 
         {
              super(context);
              paint = new Paint();
         }

         @Override
         protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) 
         {
            super.onDraw(canvas);
            int x = getWidth();
            int y = getHeight();
            int radius;
            radius = 100;
            paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
            paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            canvas.drawPaint(paint);
            // Use Color.parseColor to define HTML colors
            paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#CD5C5C"));
            canvas.drawCircle(x / 2, y / 2, radius, paint);
        }
     }
}

Edit if you want to draw circle at centre. You could also translate your entire canvas to center then draw circle at center.using

canvas.translate(getWidth()/2f,getHeight()/2f);
canvas.drawCircle(0,0, radius, paint);

Answer 2

public class CircleView extends View {

    private static final String COLOR_HEX = "#E74300";
    private final Paint drawPaint;
    private       float size;

    public CircleView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        drawPaint = new Paint();
        drawPaint.setColor(Color.parseColor(COLOR_HEX));
        drawPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
        setOnMeasureCallback();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(final Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        canvas.drawCircle(size, size, size, drawPaint);
    }

    private void setOnMeasureCallback() {
        ViewTreeObserver vto = getViewTreeObserver();
        vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
                size = getMeasuredWidth() / 2;
            }
        });
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
    private void removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener listener) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
            getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(listener);
        } else {
            getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener);
        }
    }
}

Xml example: will produce a circle of 5dp

 <com.example.CircleView
        android:layout_width="10dp"
        android:layout_height="10dp"/>

Answer 3

You can override the onDraw method of your view and draw the circle.

protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
 super.onDraw(canvas);

 canvas.drawCircle(x, y, radius, paint);

}

For a better reference on drawing custom views check out the official Android documentation.

http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/custom-drawing.html

Answer 4

If you are using your own CustomView extending View class, you need to call canvas.invalidate() method which will internally call onDraw method. You can use default API for canvas to draw a circle. The x, y cordinate define the center of the circle. You can also define color and styling in paint & pass the paint object.

public class CustomView extends View {

    public CustomView(Context context,  AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setupPaint();
    }
}

Define default paint settings and canvas (Initialise paint in constructor so that you can reuse the same object everywhere and change only specific settings wherever required)

private Paint drawPaint;

// Setup paint with color and stroke styles
private void setupPaint() {
    drawPaint = new Paint();
    drawPaint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    drawPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
    drawPaint.setStrokeWidth(5);
    drawPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
    drawPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
    drawPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
}

And initialise canvas object

private Canvas canvas;

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    super.onDraw(canvas);
    this.canvas = canvas;
    canvas.drawCircle(xCordinate, yCordinate, RADIUS, drawPaint);
}

And finally, for every view refresh or new draw on the screen, you need to call invalidate method. Remember your entire view is redrawn, hence this is an expensive call. Make sure you do only the necessary operations in onDraw

canvas.invalidate();

Try this

The entire code for drawing a circle or download project source code and test it on your android studio. Draw circle on canvas programmatically.

import android.graphics.Bitmap;
    import android.graphics.Canvas;
    import android.graphics.Color;
    import android.graphics.Paint;
    import android.graphics.Path;
    import android.graphics.Point;
    import android.graphics.PorterDuff;
    import android.graphics.PorterDuffXfermode;
    import android.graphics.Rect;
    import android.graphics.RectF;
    import android.widget.ImageView;


        public class Shape {

            private Bitmap bmp;
            private ImageView img;
            public Shape(Bitmap bmp, ImageView img) {

                this.bmp=bmp;
                this.img=img;
                onDraw();
            }

            private void onDraw(){
                 Canvas canvas=new Canvas();
                 if (bmp.getWidth() == 0 || bmp.getHeight() == 0) {
                     return;
                }

                int w = bmp.getWidth(), h = bmp.getHeight();

                Bitmap roundBitmap = getRoundedCroppedBitmap(bmp, w);

                img.setImageBitmap(roundBitmap);

            }

            public static Bitmap getRoundedCroppedBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int radius) {
                Bitmap finalBitmap;
                if (bitmap.getWidth() != radius || bitmap.getHeight() != radius)
                    finalBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, radius, radius,
                            false);
                else
                    finalBitmap = bitmap;
                Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(finalBitmap.getWidth(),
                        finalBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
                Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);

                final Paint paint = new Paint();
                final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, finalBitmap.getWidth(),
                        finalBitmap.getHeight());

                paint.setAntiAlias(true);
                paint.setFilterBitmap(true);
                paint.setDither(true);
                canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
                paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#BAB399"));
                canvas.drawCircle(finalBitmap.getWidth() / 2 + 0.7f, finalBitmap.getHeight() / 2 + 0.7f, finalBitmap.getWidth() / 2 + 0.1f, paint);
                paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));
                canvas.drawBitmap(finalBitmap, rect, rect, paint);

                return output;
            }

Answer 6

Here is example to draw stroke circle canvas

val paint = Paint().apply {
    color = Color.RED
    style = Paint.Style.STROKE
    strokeWidth = 10f
}

override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
    super.onDraw(canvas)
    canvas?.drawCircle(200f, 100f, 100f, paint)
}

Result

Example to draw solid circle canvas

val paint = Paint().apply {
    color = Color.RED
}

override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
    super.onDraw(canvas)
    canvas?.drawCircle(200f, 100f, 100f, paint)
}

Result

Hope it help
