B4J Question XUI, B4XBitmap and Pane

[Star-Dust]

I started trying the muio code XUi pe ril 3D with B4J.

Using the first part of the renderiung that deals with polygons uses B4XCanvas that works correctly.

A second part uses BitmapCreator. For B4A I used the last version but in B4J there is not yet.
At the end of the code I apply BitmapCreator in the Bread like this

Pane.SetBitmap(BitmapCreator.Bitmap.Resize(Pane.Width,Pane.height,False))

In B4A it works while in B4J it generates me this error ...

Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.

Check the documentation of B4XView.SetBitmap: https://www.b4x.com/android/help/xui.html#b4xview_setbitmap

You're right Erel, I forgot that it should be used with ImageView. I had changed because I had difficulty between B4XCanvas with ImageView.

I'm continuing with B4XCanvas and BitmapCreator I use it with B4XCanvas this way:

Dim Can as B4XCanvas
Dim Rec As B4XRect

Can.Initialize(Panel)
Rec.Initialize(0,0,Panel.Width,Panel.Height)
Can.DrawBitmap(BitmapCreator.Bitmap.Resize(Panel.Width,Panel.Height,False),Rec)
Can.Invalidate

 

[Erel]

This is a quite slow solution. It is better to add an ImageView to the panel and set the image with ImageView.SetBitmap(BitmapCreator.Bitmap).

 

[Star-Dust]

True, the solution is slow. However, it is not known on the computer. Obviously I prefer a solution that goes well for Android/iOS/Windows.

Maybe implement DrawLine and DrawRec for BitmapCreator and so drank to use B4XCANVAS.

I always hope that in the next version of BitmapCreator there are already.

 

[Erel]

Everything you need is already available.

Don't draw on the pane directly.
Code to create B4XCanvas:

Public Sub CreateCanvas (Width As Int, Height As Int) As B4XCanvas
   Dim p As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
   p.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, Width, Height)
   Dim cvs As B4XCanvas
   cvs.Initialize(p)
   Return cvs
End Sub

Use ImageView on all platforms.

 

[Star-Dust]

Thank's. Good idea

 

[Erel]

Also don't call Resize. The size of BitmapCreator should be (ImageView.Width / xui.Scale, ImageView.Height / xui.Scale)

The canvas size should be the same.
