Canvas - Rectangle with rounded ends

[gawie007]

I am reading in a Gerber file and drawing it on the screen.
So far it all works well until I need is a simple rectangle with rounded (semi-circle) ends.

I have tried the ABExtDrawing library which would do it but it would mean converting my whole program all for the sake of one small item.

Would it be possible to use this:
Canvas | Android Developers

with the reflection library, and if so, how would I do it?
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!!!

That way almost everything is possible .

sure is

That way almost everything is possible

I knew that at the end, that this, is the only solution.
I had hoped there was another way, but...

anyway, I am satisfied, this has answered my question.

Thank you sorex
Thank you klaus

Hi @klaus , thanks for your help in this thread.

I'm trying to draw a transparent rounded rectangle, where it removes the canvas color entirely and makes that part of the canvas see-through (basically a "hole" in the canvas to see the views below it).

I tried your code above, but the transparency didn't work that way. (It left the existing color of the canvas unaffected.)

However, I figured there might be a transfer mode that would clear the underlying color completely, so I tried this, and it seems to do what I want.

Sub drawRoundRect(cvs As Canvas, Rect1 As Rect, Radius As Float, StrokeColor As Int, FillColor As Int, StrokeWidth As Float)
   Dim drw As ABExtDrawing
   Dim r1 As ABRectF
   Dim pt1, pt2 As ABPaint
   r1.Initialize(Rect1.Left, Rect1.Top, Rect1.Right, Rect1.Bottom)

   pt1.Initialize
   pt1.SetStrokeWidth(1)
   pt1.SetColor(FillColor)
   pt1.SetStyle(pt1.Style_FILL)
   'added this line
   If FillColor = Colors.Transparent Then pt1.SetPorterDuffXfermode(drw.PorterDuffMode_CLEAR)
   drw.drawRoundRect(cvs, r1, Radius, Radius, pt1)

   pt2.Initialize
   pt2.SetStrokeWidth(StrokeWidth)
   pt2.SetColor(StrokeColor)
   pt2.SetStyle(pt1.Style_STROKE)
   'added this line
   If StrokeColor = Colors.Transparent Then pt2.SetPorterDuffXfermode(drw.PorterDuffMode_CLEAR)
   drw.drawRoundRect(cvs, r1, Radius, Radius, pt2)
End Sub

Just posting it here for others who want the same effect.

Thanks again!

I think to have the rectangle like a hole it should also work if you draw it on a Panel.

Yes, I'm using the sub above to draw on a panel's background, so I can "see through" to the views below the panel.
