Rotating Image on A canvas in android

Question

I want to Rotate Image according to a specific angle in android ,some thing like a compass...

I have this code...it works on drawPath() but i want to replace the pat

Answer 1

You can either rotate your bitmap when you draw it by using a matrix:

Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate(angle, imageCenterX, imageCenterY);
yourCanvas.drawBitmap(yourBitmap, matrix, null);

You can also do it by rotating the canvas before drawing:

yourCanvas.save(Canvas.MATRIX_SAVE_FLAG); //Saving the canvas and later restoring it so only this image will be rotated.
yourCanvas.rotate(-angle);
yourCanvas.drawBitmap(yourBitmap, left, top, null);
yourCanvas.restore();

Pick the one that suits you the best.

Answer 2

You have to rotate the canvas first and then draw whatever you want. Then the object drawn will be appeared as rotated on screen.

canvas.rotate(45); // degrees to rotate

try this its good way.

Check this tutorial you will get information about how to draw bitmap and how to rotate canvas

Answer 3

Use following code. it worked for me

float rotation = 30.0f;

     Bitmap bitmap = your bitmap
     Rect rect = new Rect(100,100,bitmap.width, bitmap.height);
     Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
     float px = rect.exactCenterX();
     float py = rect.exactCenterY();
     matrix.postTranslate(-bitmap.getWidth()/2, -bitmap.getHeight()/2);
     matrix.postRotate(rotation);
     matrix.postTranslate(px, py);
     canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, matrix, null);
     matrix.reset();
     invalidate();

Answer 4

This is the only one that worked for me with no problem.

    private Bitmap rotateBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int rotationAngleDegree){

        int w = bitmap.getWidth();
        int h = bitmap.getHeight();

        int

 newW=w, newH=h;
    if (rotationAngleDegree==90 || rotationAngleDegree==270){
        newW = h;
        newH = w;
    }
    Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(newW,newH, bitmap.getConfig());
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(rotatedBitmap);

    Rect rect = new Rect(0,0,newW, newH);
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    float px = rect.exactCenterX();
    float py = rect.exactCenterY();
    matrix.postTranslate(-bitmap.getWidth()/2, -bitmap.getHeight()/2);
    matrix.postRotate(rotationAngleDegree);
    matrix.postTranslate(px, py);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, matrix, new Paint( Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG | Paint.DITHER_FLAG | Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG ));
    matrix.reset();

    return rotatedBitmap;
}

Answer 5

Based on @Sakthi 's code, but add scaling :)

        Rect rect = new Rect(0,0,canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postTranslate(-bitmap.getWidth()/2, -bitmap.getHeight()/2);
        matrix.postScale(
                ((float)rect.width()) / bitmap.getWidth(),
                ((float)rect.height()) / bitmap.getHeight());
        matrix.postRotate(180);
        matrix.postTranslate(rect.exactCenterX(), rect.exactCenterY());
        canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, matrix, null);

@Reham: Look at this example code below,

public class bitmaptest extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    LinearLayout linLayout = new LinearLayout(this);

    // load the origial BitMap (500 x 500 px)
    Bitmap bitmapOrg = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
           R.drawable.android);

    int width = bitmapOrg.width();
    int height = bitmapOrg.height();
    int newWidth = 200;
    int newHeight = 200;

    // calculate the scale - in this case = 0.4f
    float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
    float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;

    // createa matrix for the manipulation
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    // resize the bit map
    matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
    // rotate the Bitmap
    matrix.postRotate(45);

    // recreate the new Bitmap
    Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmapOrg, 0, 0,
                      width, height, matrix, true);

    // make a Drawable from Bitmap to allow to set the BitMap
    // to the ImageView, ImageButton or what ever
    BitmapDrawable bmd = new BitmapDrawable(resizedBitmap);

    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);

    // set the Drawable on the ImageView
    imageView.setImageDrawable(bmd);

    // center the Image
    imageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER);

    // add ImageView to the Layout
    linLayout.addView(imageView,
            new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                  LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT
            )
    );

    // set LinearLayout as ContentView
    setContentView(linLayout);
}
}

you have to use the matrix to rotate image look the lines

matrix.postRotate(45); -

this will rotate the image to 45 degrees

Hope this help you ...thx
