public class PlayGameView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {

    private class CanvasThread extends Thread  {
        private SurfaceHolder _holder;
        private boolean _run = false;

        public CanvasThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {

        }

        public void setRunning(boolean run) {
            _run = run;

            Bitmap wrench = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.wrench);
            canvas.drawColor(Color .BLACK);
            for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
                for(int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
                    int left = canvas.getWidth()/2 - wrench.getWidth()*2 + j*wrench.getWidth();
                    int top = 0  + i*wrench.getHeight();
                    canvas.drawBitmap(wrench, left, top, null);

                    Log.d(i + " " + j, left+ " " + top);
                }
            }

    }



    @Override
    public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {


    }


    @Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
        canvasthread.setRunning(true);
        canvasthread.start();
    }


    @Override
    public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
        boolean retry = true;
        canvasthread.setRunning(false);
        while (retry) {
                try {
                        canvasthread.join();
                        retry = false;
                } catch (InterruptedException  e) {
                        // we will try it again and again...
                }
        }
    }
}

so i want to detect where i click on(for exemple there is 2 rects and i want to detect what rect i click on). i can set setOnClickListener to my view, but how to get position of click?
then i want to set the regions while drawing( it is right, yeah? or not?) and in activity i’ll check is click coordinates contains regions

so
1) how can i get coord of click
2) what is the pretty good way to do do all that stuff, because my ideas are poor often

Answer 1

Look at the setOnTouchListener.

The OnTouchListener implements a method with the following signature:

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)

The MotionEvent has information about where the touch actually happened. (event.getX() and event.getY())
