how moving a body with andengine? - position

I move a body in andengine and regained its position as in X, Y
and use:
Get Position:
body.getPosition().x;
AnimatedSprite.getX();
Set Position:
Sprite.setPosition(x,y);
but none served me.

If I understand correctly what your problem is, the method you are looking for is Body.setTransform(float x, float y, float angle). Remember that the Body coordinates are in meters, so you have to divide the pixel value by your PIXEL_TO_METER_RATIO (usually 32).

You should do it in registerUpdateHandler in method onUpdate.
Example:
body.registerUpdateHandler(new IUpdateHandler() {
#Override
public void reset() {
}
#Override
public void onUpdate(float pSecondsElapsed) {
body.getPosition();
body.setPosition();
}
});

you can do this
yourBody.setTransform(new Vector2(x/32,y/32), 0);
this question is the same as
how to move body of sprite using andEngine?

Something for a child window analogous to `this`

I am a newcomer to programming. I am writing a dialog based application which has a static control on it. Using
Using
void CMy1stDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
if (this == GetCapture())
{
CClientDC aDC(this);
aDC.SetPixel(point, RGB(255,0,0));
}
}
I can create results like
However what I want is that the locus of mouse is only drawn within the static window. I can't find the reference to this in MSDN and I don't know why the following method fails.
void CMy1stDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CWnd* pMYSTATIC = GetDlgItem (IDC_MYSTATIC); //IDC_MYSTATIC is the ID of the static control
if (pMYSTATIC == GetCapture())
{
CClientDC aDC(pMYSTATIC);
aDC.SetPixel(point, RGB(255,0,0));
}
}
How can I get what I want? Are there any methods to get something for the static window analogous to this? I will appreciate any help with these.
OK, try this:
void CMy1stDlg::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CRect rect;
// Get static control's rectangle
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYSTATIC)->GetWindowRect(&rect);
// Convert it to client coordinates
ScreenToClient(&rect);
// Check if mouse pointer is inside the static window, if so draw the pixel
if (rect.PtInRect(point))
{
CClientDC dc(this);
dc.SetPixel(point.x, point.y, RGB(255,0,0));
}
}
This code may need some fixes too, eg shrink the rectangle (to its client-only area), before checking whether to draw the pixel.
Please note that you don't need to check GetCapture(); if your dialog hasn't captured the mouse it won't be receiving this message anyway.
Also, all these functions are wrappers of Windows SDK ones, eg the ClientDC() class, basically wraps GetDC()/ReleaseDC().

SVG Path Collision in javafx

My question today is relatively simple, is there a way to have collision handling with the Javafx implementation of an SVGPath? EX: if I drop a particle on the screen, and it encounter Any part of the svgPath, it'll signal a collision.
I tried using the regular bounds collision, but it gives me a bounding box that is gigantic for the SVGPath if the path is shaped like an 'L'
The path I'm specifically playing with is:
m 252,12.362183
c 1.03171,23.632637 -4.57241,55.427587 9,69 65.41611,65.416117 361.05896,43.999997 469,43.999997
Do I have to re-interpolate the line and have an array store a set of (x,y) positions which I constantly check against? that seems rather unwieldy, but I simply can't think of any other (simpler) ways?
The code I tried for the regular bounded collision is as follows:
observableBooleanValue colliding = Bindings.createBooleanBinding(new Callable<Boolean>() {
#Override
public Boolean call() throws Exception {
return particle.getBoundsInParent().intersects(path.getBoundsInParent());
}
}, particle.boundsInParentProperty(), path.boundsInParentProperty());
System.out.println("path bounds: " + path.boundsInParentProperty());
colliding.addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> obs,
Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue) {
if (newValue) {
System.out.println("Colliding");
} else {
System.out.println("Not colliding");
}
}
});
note that a particle is simply a circle with radius 2, and the path is just an SVG path loaded up with the aforementioned svg.
-Will
small edit
So after looking into a few other methods, I got it where it'll get close to be an accurate collision, but it's still about 20% too early (it detects a collision before one actually h appens). almost as if the edges of the path are a bit 'blurry'.
code:
particle.layoutYProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>(){
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov, Number t, Number t1) {
Shape intersect = Shape.intersect(path, particle);
if ((intersect.getBoundsInLocal().getHeight() != -1) && (intersect.getBoundsInLocal().getWidth() != -1)) {
System.out.println("Collison!");
}
}
});
I'm really pretty stumped as to why the edge of the svgpath would have such a large buffer on it.
code that creates the path:
/**
* This function helps to make the path for animating particles
*
* #throws IOException
*/
public void makePaths() throws IOException {
PathLoader loader = new PathLoader();
path = new SVGPath();
path.setContent(loader.getPath(1));
path.setStroke(Color.AQUA);
//path.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
//path.setEffect(boxBlur);
}
the pathloader simply loads in exactly the path I mentioned up above, tried with and w/o the blur and the transparency, no effect in tightening up the path collision.

Change the size of a Custom View at Runtime Android

I'm changing the height and the width of my CustomView which extends Android View in runtime like this:
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if(!initialized) {
int containerHeight = instance.getHeight();
int containerWidth = instance.getWidth();
myView.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (containerHeight * HEIGHT_RATIO);
myView.getLayoutParams().width = (int) (containerWidth * WIDTH_RATIO);
instance.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
initialized = true;
}
}
this code is in the container view Constructor.
In addition my CustomView onMeasure() is as follows:
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
// maximum width we should use
int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
This is the result:
Where the width and height I specified are at the same size of the green rectangle.
My Question is: why does the actual size of my custom view (red rectangle) is not at the same size as I gave as input in the LayoutParams ?
not sure what object you're working with for your view, but you might try something like this:
CustomViewget.Window().setLayout(370, 480); //Controls width and height
My problem was in the drawing of the CustomView. In onDraw(), I took the width and height of the canvas instead of the View itself.
The sizes might not be calculated properly at the time of calling, so you may need to place your code in a handler and run it on post so that it gets done after everything else on the UI thread is done. Try the following code.
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//check sizes and update sizes here
});

Checking Collision of Shapes with JavaFX

I am trying to do some collision detection. For this test I am using simple rectangular Shape, and checking their Bound, to figure if they are colliding. Although the detection does not work as expected. I have tried using different ways to move the object(relocate, setLayoutX,Y) and also different bound checks (boundsInLocal,boundsInParrent etc) but I still cannot get this to work. As you can see the detection works only for one object, even when you have three objects only one detects collision. This is some working code demonstrating the problem:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class CollisionTester extends Application {
private ArrayList<Rectangle> rectangleArrayList;
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("The test");
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
rectangleArrayList = new ArrayList<Rectangle>();
rectangleArrayList.add(new Rectangle(30.0, 30.0, Color.GREEN));
rectangleArrayList.add(new Rectangle(30.0, 30.0, Color.RED));
rectangleArrayList.add(new Rectangle(30.0, 30.0, Color.CYAN));
for(Rectangle block : rectangleArrayList){
setDragListeners(block);
}
root.getChildren().addAll(rectangleArrayList);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public void setDragListeners(final Rectangle block) {
final Delta dragDelta = new Delta();
block.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
// record a delta distance for the drag and drop operation.
dragDelta.x = block.getTranslateX() - mouseEvent.getSceneX();
dragDelta.y = block.getTranslateY() - mouseEvent.getSceneY();
block.setCursor(Cursor.NONE);
}
});
block.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
block.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
}
});
block.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
block.setTranslateX(mouseEvent.getSceneX() + dragDelta.x);
block.setTranslateY(mouseEvent.getSceneY() + dragDelta.y);
checkBounds(block);
}
});
}
private void checkBounds(Rectangle block) {
for (Rectangle static_bloc : rectangleArrayList)
if (static_bloc != block) {
if (block.getBoundsInParent().intersects(static_bloc.getBoundsInParent())) {
block.setFill(Color.BLUE); //collision
} else {
block.setFill(Color.GREEN); //no collision
}
} else {
block.setFill(Color.GREEN); //no collision -same block
}
}
class Delta {
double x, y;
}
}
Looks like you have a slight logic error in your checkBounds routine - you are correctly detecting collisions (based on bounds) but are overwriting the fill of your block when you perform subsequent collision checks in the same routine.
Try something like this - it adds a flag so that the routine does not "forget" that a collision was detected:
private void checkBounds(Shape block) {
boolean collisionDetected = false;
for (Shape static_bloc : nodes) {
if (static_bloc != block) {
static_bloc.setFill(Color.GREEN);
if (block.getBoundsInParent().intersects(static_bloc.getBoundsInParent())) {
collisionDetected = true;
}
}
}
if (collisionDetected) {
block.setFill(Color.BLUE);
} else {
block.setFill(Color.GREEN);
}
}
Note that the check you are doing (based on bounds in parent) will report intersections of the rectangle enclosing the visible bounds of nodes within the same parent group.
Alternate Implementation
In case you need it, I updated your original sample so that it is able to check based on the visual shape of the Node rather than the bounding box of the visual shape. This lets you to accurately detect collisions for non-rectangular shapes such as Circles. The key for this is the Shape.intersects(shape1, shape2) method.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
public class CircleCollisionTester extends Application {
private ArrayList<Shape> nodes;
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
#Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("Drag circles around to see collisions");
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
nodes = new ArrayList<>();
nodes.add(new Circle(15, 15, 30));
nodes.add(new Circle(90, 60, 30));
nodes.add(new Circle(40, 200, 30));
for (Shape block : nodes) {
setDragListeners(block);
}
root.getChildren().addAll(nodes);
checkShapeIntersection(nodes.get(nodes.size() - 1));
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public void setDragListeners(final Shape block) {
final Delta dragDelta = new Delta();
block.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
// record a delta distance for the drag and drop operation.
dragDelta.x = block.getLayoutX() - mouseEvent.getSceneX();
dragDelta.y = block.getLayoutY() - mouseEvent.getSceneY();
block.setCursor(Cursor.NONE);
}
});
block.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
block.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
}
});
block.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
block.setLayoutX(mouseEvent.getSceneX() + dragDelta.x);
block.setLayoutY(mouseEvent.getSceneY() + dragDelta.y);
checkShapeIntersection(block);
}
});
}
private void checkShapeIntersection(Shape block) {
boolean collisionDetected = false;
for (Shape static_bloc : nodes) {
if (static_bloc != block) {
static_bloc.setFill(Color.GREEN);
Shape intersect = Shape.intersect(block, static_bloc);
if (intersect.getBoundsInLocal().getWidth() != -1) {
collisionDetected = true;
}
}
}
if (collisionDetected) {
block.setFill(Color.BLUE);
} else {
block.setFill(Color.GREEN);
}
}
class Delta { double x, y; }
}
Sample program output. In the sample the circles have been dragged around and the user is currently dragging a circle which has been marked as colliding with another circle (by painting it blue) - for demonstration purposes only the circle currently being dragged has it's collision color marked.
Comments based on additional questions
The link I posted to an intersection demo application in a prior comment was to illustrate the use of various bounds types rather than as a specific type of collision detection sample. For your use case, you don't need the additional complexity of the change listener and checking on various different kinds of bounds types - just settling on one type will be enough. Most collision detection is only going to be interested in intersection of visual bounds rather than other JavaFX bounds types such as the layout bounds or local bounds of a node. So you can either:
Check for intersection of getBoundsInParent (as you did in your original question) which works on the smallest rectangular box which will encompass the visual extremities of the node OR
Use the Shape.intersect(shape1, shape2) routine if you need to check based on the visual shape of the Node rather than the bounding box of the visual shape.
Should I be using setLayoutX or translateX for the rectangle
The layoutX and layoutY properties are intended for positioning or laying out nodes. The translateX and translateY properties are intended for temporary changes to the visual location of a node (for example when the node is undergoing an animation). For your example, though either property will work, it is perhaps better form to use the layout properties than the translate ones, that way if you did want to run something like a TranslateTransition on the nodes, it will be more obvious what the start and end translate values should be as those values will be relative to the current layout position of the node rather than the position in the parent group.
Another way you could use these layout and translate co-ordinates in tandem in your sample is if you had something like an ESC to cancel during the course of a drag operation. You could set layoutX,Y to the initial location of your node, start a drag operation which sets translateX,Y values and if the user presses ESC, set translateX,Y back to 0 to cancel the drag operation or if the user releases the mouse set layoutX,Y to layoutX,Y+translateX,Y and set translateX,Y back to 0. The idea is that the translation is values are used for a temporary modification of the visual co-ordinates of the node from it's original layout position.
will the intersect work even though the circles are animated? I mean without dragging the circle by mouse, what will happen if I made them to move around randomly. Will the colour change in this case also?
To do this, just change where the collision detection function is called and the collision handler invoked. Rather than checking for intersections based upon a mouse drag event (like the example above), instead check for collisions within a change listener on each node's boundsInParentProperty().
block.boundsInParentProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) ->
checkShapeIntersection(block)
);
Note: if you have lots of shapes being animated, then checking for collisions once per frame within a game loop will be more efficient than running a collision check whenever any node moves (as is done in the boundsInParentProperty change listener above).
Additional info for handling input on non-rectangular shapes
For input detection not collision detection, so not directly related to your question, look at the node.pickOnBounds setting if you need mouse or touch interaction with a non-rectangular node.

Creating ring shape in Android code

I have the following shape XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
a:shape="ring"
a:innerRadiusRatio="3"
a:thicknessRatio="8"
a:useLevel="false">
<!-- some other stuff goes here -->
</gradient>
</shape>
I would like to use code instead to create this shape, since some things need to be calculated on the fly before I do it, so static pre-defined layout doesn't cut it.
I'm new to Android and can't quite figure out how XML translates to code, and there's no RingShape class inheriting from Shape.
In addition to answering just this question, if there's a guide somewhere that details relation between XML and Java code and how XML gets processed in order to end up on the screen I would appreciate a link too. Thanks.
Reuben already pointed out most the most useful observations, so I'll just focus on the implementation side of the story. There's multiple approaches using reflection that'll probably give you what you're looking for.
First one is to (ab)use the private GradientDrawable constructor that takes a GradientState reference. Unfortunately the latter is a final subclass with package visibility, so you can't easily get access to it. In order to use it, you would need to dive further in using reflection or mimic its functionality into your own code.
Second approach is to use reflection to get the private member variable mGradientState, which fortunately has a getter in the form of getConstantState(). This'll give you the ConstantState, which at runtime is really a GradientState and hence we can use reflection to access its members and change them at runtime.
In order to support above statements, here's a somewhat basic implementation to create a ring-shaped drawable from code:
RingDrawable.java
public class RingDrawable extends GradientDrawable {
private Class<?> mGradientState;
public RingDrawable() {
this(Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM, null);
}
public RingDrawable(int innerRadius, int thickness, float innerRadiusRatio, float thicknessRatio) {
this(Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM, null, innerRadius, thickness, innerRadiusRatio, thicknessRatio);
}
public RingDrawable(GradientDrawable.Orientation orientation, int[] colors) {
super(orientation, colors);
setShape(RING);
}
public RingDrawable(GradientDrawable.Orientation orientation, int[] colors, int innerRadius, int thickness, float innerRadiusRatio, float thicknessRatio) {
this(orientation, colors);
try {
setInnerRadius(innerRadius);
setThickness(thickness);
setInnerRadiusRatio(innerRadiusRatio);
setThicknessRatio(thicknessRatio);
} catch (Exception e) {
// fail silently - change to your own liking
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void setInnerRadius(int radius) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
if (mGradientState == null) mGradientState = resolveGradientState();
Field innerRadius = resolveField(mGradientState, "mInnerRadius");
innerRadius.setInt(getConstantState(), radius);
}
public void setThickness(int thicknessValue) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
if (mGradientState == null) mGradientState = resolveGradientState();
Field thickness = resolveField(mGradientState, "mThickness");
thickness.setInt(getConstantState(), thicknessValue);
}
public void setInnerRadiusRatio(float ratio) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
if (mGradientState == null) mGradientState = resolveGradientState();
Field innerRadiusRatio = resolveField(mGradientState, "mInnerRadiusRatio");
innerRadiusRatio.setFloat(getConstantState(), ratio);
}
public void setThicknessRatio(float ratio) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
if (mGradientState == null) mGradientState = resolveGradientState();
Field thicknessRatio = resolveField(mGradientState, "mThicknessRatio");
thicknessRatio.setFloat(getConstantState(), ratio);
}
private Class<?> resolveGradientState() {
Class<?>[] classes = GradientDrawable.class.getDeclaredClasses();
for (Class<?> singleClass : classes) {
if (singleClass.getSimpleName().equals("GradientState")) return singleClass;
}
throw new RuntimeException("GradientState could not be found in current GradientDrawable implementation");
}
private Field resolveField(Class<?> source, String fieldName) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException {
Field field = source.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
field.setAccessible(true);
return field;
}
}
Above can be used as follows to create a RingDrawable from code and display it in a standard ImageView.
ImageView target = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview);
RingDrawable ring = new RingDrawable(10, 20, 0, 0);
ring.setColor(Color.BLUE);
target.setImageDrawable(ring);
This will show a simple, opaque blue ring in the ImageView (10 units inner radius, 20 units thick). You'll need to make sure to not set the ImageView's width and height to wrap_content, unless you add ring.setSize(width, height) to above code in order for it to show up.
Hope this helps you out in any way.
Ring and other shapes are GradientDrawables.
If you look at the source code for GradientDrawable, you'll see it looks like certain properties (like innerRadius) can only be defined through XML... they are not exposed through accessor methods. The relevant state is also unhelpfully private to the class, so subclassing is no help either.
You can do something like this:
private ShapeDrawable newRingShapeDrawable(int color) {
ShapeDrawable drawable = new ShapeDrawable(new OvalShape());
drawable.getPaint().setColor(color);
drawable.getPaint().setStrokeWidth(2);
drawable.getPaint().setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
return drawable;
}
It is possible to do it from code:
int r = dipToPixels(DEFAULT_CORNER_RADIUS_DIP); // this can be used to make it circle
float[] outerR = new float[]{r, r, r, r, r, r, r, r};
int border = dipToPixels(2); // border of circle
RectF rect = new RectF(border, border, border, border);
RoundRectShape rr = new RoundRectShape(outerR, rect, outerR);// must checkout this constructor
ShapeDrawable drawable = new ShapeDrawable(rr);
drawable.getPaint().setColor(badgeColor);// change color of border
// use drawble now
For me it works as follow: (also for Android version > lollipop)
ImageView target = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview);
GradientDrawable shapeRing = new GradientDrawable();
shapeRing.setShape(GradientDrawable.OVAL);
shapeRing.setColor(centerColor); // transparent
shapeRing.setStroke(stroke, strokeColor);
shapeRing.setSize(width, width);
target.setImageDrawable(ring);
