Android Graphics Rotate Example

There are lots of ways to make Graphics in Android. Take a look at the pictures and the examples afterwards how to make it. It is using Canvas, style onDraw() and so on.

Code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.DashPathEffect;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

public class DrawDemo extends Activity {
	DemoView demoview;
	/** Called when the activity is first created. */
	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		demoview = new DemoView(this);
		setContentView(demoview);
	}

	private class DemoView extends View{
		public DemoView(Context context){
			super(context);
		}

		@Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
			super.onDraw(canvas);

			// custom drawing code here
			// remember: y increases from top to bottom
			// x increases from left to right
			int x = 0;
			int y = 0;
			Paint paint = new Paint();
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);

			// make the entire canvas white
			paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
			canvas.drawPaint(paint);
			// another way to do this is to use:
			// canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);

			// draw a solid blue circle
			paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
			canvas.drawCircle(20, 20, 15, paint);

			// draw blue circle with antialiasing turned on
			paint.setAntiAlias(true);
			paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
			canvas.drawCircle(60, 20, 15, paint);

			// compare the above circles once drawn
			// the fist circle has a jagged perimeter
			// the second circle has a smooth perimeter

			// draw a solid green rectangle
			paint.setAntiAlias(false);
			paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
			canvas.drawRect(100, 5, 200, 30, paint);

			// create and draw triangles
			// use a Path object to store the 3 line segments
			// use .offset to draw in many locations
			// note: this triangle is not centered at 0,0
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
			paint.setStrokeWidth(2);
			paint.setColor(Color.RED);
			Path path = new Path();
			path.moveTo(0, -10);
			path.lineTo(5, 0);
			path.lineTo(-5, 0);
			path.close();
			path.offset(10, 40);
			canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
			path.offset(50, 100);
			canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
			// offset is cumlative
			// next draw displaces 50,100 from previous
			path.offset(50, 100);
			canvas.drawPath(path, paint);

			// draw some text using STROKE style
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
			paint.setStrokeWidth(1);
			paint.setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
			paint.setTextSize(30);
			canvas.drawText("Style.STROKE", 75, 75, paint);

			// draw some text using FILL style
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
			//turn antialiasing on
			paint.setAntiAlias(true);
			paint.setTextSize(30);
			canvas.drawText("Style.FILL", 75, 110, paint);

			// draw some rotated text
			// get text width and height
			// set desired drawing location
			x = 75;
			y = 185;
			paint.setColor(Color.GRAY);
			paint.setTextSize(25);
			String str2rotate = "Rotated!";

			// draw bounding rect before rotating text
			Rect rect = new Rect();
			paint.getTextBounds(str2rotate, 0, str2rotate.length(), rect);
			canvas.translate(x, y);
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
			// draw unrotated text
			canvas.drawText("!Rotated", 0, 0, paint);
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
			canvas.drawRect(rect, paint);
			// undo the translate
			canvas.translate(-x, -y);

			// rotate the canvas on center of the text to draw
			canvas.rotate(-45, x + rect.exactCenterX(),
                                               y + rect.exactCenterY());
			// draw the rotated text
			paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
			canvas.drawText(str2rotate, x, y, paint);

			//undo the rotate
			canvas.restore();
			canvas.drawText("After canvas.restore()", 50, 250, paint);

			// draw a thick dashed line
			DashPathEffect dashPath =
                            new DashPathEffect(new float[]{20,5}, 1);
			paint.setPathEffect(dashPath);
			paint.setStrokeWidth(8);
			canvas.drawLine(0, 300 , 320, 300, paint);
