Android Example ImageView - Circular, Hexagonal, Triangular, Bubble, Star Imageviews (with inline Java code)

See attached project with inline Java code to create round imageviews. You only need library JavaObject V2.01 to be enabled.

The attached project adds the ability to display bitmap images in a hexagonal ImageView

@Johan Schoeman: Excellent example. I added some silly code to your project:

Sub ImageView1_Click
    Msgbox("I am a parrot trapped in a Triangle.","")
End Sub
Sub ImageView2_Click
    Msgbox("I am a parrot trapped in a Hexagon.","")
End Sub
Sub ImageView3_Click
    Msgbox("I am a parrot trapped in a Circle.","")
End Sub

Vive l' Afrique

...and last but not least, adding the ability to display bitmap images in a "bubble/droplet" ImageView. From here on you can add more methods to create various/different shapes of imageviews by drawing the required path. Perhaps a bit of maths and trigonometry will be required to do some special shapes - but should be relatively easy to do so.
Take note of the line in method
public static Bitmap getBubbleBitmap(Bitmap scaleBitmapImage) {
...
....
path.addArc(oval, 0, 270); //in degrees!

Here 0 degrees is measured from to the right most point of the x-axis and 270 is the top most point of the y-axis. The arc is drawn CLOCKWISE form the starting point (0 degrees) to the end point (270 degrees).

Added the ability to display the bitmap within the Imageview as a star. Use the spinner to select the number of "points" that the star should have (spinner ranges from 4 to 50). Also added a cone shape:
bm2 = nativeMe.RunMethod("getConeBitmap",Array(bm))

Displaying the bitmap within the Imageview as a heart and also a star with a circle around it...just for fun.

I'm getting this error: Unknown member: InitializeContext

Do you have library JavaObject V2.01 installed and enabled?

 

[achtrade]

mine says 1.20, where can I get the 2.01 ?

 

[klaus]

JavaObjects is deliverd with B4A.
What version of B4A are you using ?

 

[achtrade]

b4a 4.30

 

[klaus]

Do you have JavaObject files in the AdditionalLibraries folder ?
Check if you have the JavaObject are in the Library folder of B4A.
Then remove the JavaObject files in the AdditionalLibraries folder.

JavaObject files are in Libraries, date 4/30/2014, I don't have AddiontalLibraries

 

[klaus]

Strange.
The date of my files is 2015.02.03.

I don't have AddiontalLibraries

Where do you save additional libraries not shipped with B4A ?

 

[achtrade]

Strange.

Where do you save additional libraries not shipped with B4A ?

I put everything in the Libraries folder. is that wrong ?

 

[klaus]

... is that wrong ?

Yes.
Look at chapter 14.7.2 Additional libraries folder in the Beginner's Guide.

Here is the JavaObject V2.01 files. Try them and see what happens
