I am developing a watch face for Android Wear. In order to have smooth graphics, I switched from conventional canvas drawing to OpenGL (i. e., from CanvasWatchFaceService to Gles2WatchFaceService). For touch input, I was using
#Override
public void onTapCommand(int tapType, int x, int y, long eventTime) { ... }
That doesn't seem to work under Gles2WatchFaceService. How can I still get touch input?
I found it. The style of the face watch needs to be set accordingly (setAcceptsTapEvents) in the onCreate function:
#Override
public void onCreate(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
super.onCreate(surfaceHolder);
setWatchFaceStyle(new WatchFaceStyle.Builder(CronosurfGLWatchFace.this)
...
.setAcceptsTapEvents(true) // <== HERE!!
...
.build());
...
}
It is the same as for CanvasWatchFaceService. For some reason, I lost that style setting while I changed my code from canvas to OpenGL.

so I'm developing a game for android in LibGDX and I've stumbled upon a problem: I have a scene with an image in it and I want to be able to click/touch the image and make stuff happen after doing so.
I've been trying to google a solution for the past day but I keep on missing something vital. Here's my code:
public class ScreenSplash implements Screen {
private Texture textureGlobe = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("graphics/splash.png"));
private Image imageGlobe = new Image((new TextureRegion(textureGlobe)));
public ScreenSplash() {
imageGlobe.addListener(new InputListener() {
public boolean touchDown(InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
Gdx.app.log(Game.LOG, "image clicked");
return true;
}
});
stageGame.addActor(imageGlobe);
}
...
}
I've also heard that I'm supposed to put this somewhere:
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(inputProcessor);
But I don't really know what to do with it.
Your Stage is your InputProcessor so do something like Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(stageGame);. The Stage will route the events to the actors.
Ah, I've found out what the problem was.
I imported java.awt.event.InputEvent instead of com.badlogic.gdx.scenes.scene2d.InputEvent and the touchDown function wasn't properly overriden because of this.
Is there any solution to detect the visibility of an Unity3D game? especially do some specific thing while it's switched to the foreground/background?
MonoBehaviours support two useful hooks:
OnApplicationFocus will be called any time the player gains or loses focus.
OnApplicationPause will be called any time the application is paused or unpaused. Note that it will only be paused if "run in background" is false in player settings, and that most code execution will stop until the app regains focus.
With the above caveats in mind, I usually prefer to use OnApplicationFocus, but both can be useful depending on what exactly you're trying to do.
As far as handling those events, you could make sure that some object in every scene is listening for them. Either attach some sort of singleton object that persists between scenes, or keep an object per scene that handles them appropriately.
Unity's scripting reference provides this example. By attaching this script to an object in some scene, it will throw up a GUI message while the game has lost focus:
public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
public bool paused;
void OnGUI() {
if (paused) {
GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100, 50, 30), "Game paused");
}
}
void OnApplicationFocus(bool focusStatus) {
paused = focusStatus;
}
}
OnApplicationPause should be what you need.
Example (pulled directly from Unity docs for readability):
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
public bool paused;
void OnGUI() {
if (paused)
GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100, 50, 30), "Game paused");
}
void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) {
paused = pauseStatus;
}
}
I am a beginner in java(fx).
How do you get the mouse location in x and y in JavaFX? I tried using AWT's MouseInfo(also imported it), but it's not working. I also saw the code for it in Ensembles(that dragging the ball-window in "advanced stage", that's what I need to do, drag my undecorated JavaFX stage), but it also doesn't work. I am using FXML with controller, and I guess that's the main problem. Should I switch back to the single-file simple JavaFX? I know FXML is better for laying out the UI, but I can't get many of such codes to work. Or do I need some other sort of code for my controller? Please give proper codes with comments wherever possible.
If you need a bit of my code to inspect, feel free to ask.
There are a few items in your question - I'll tackle them one at a time.
How do you get the mouse location in x and y in JavaFX?
Add a mouse event handler to the appropriate JavaFX component that you want to track the mouse location in. A JavaFX mouse event will report multiple different kinds of co-ordinates. The x and y co-ordinates are relative to the top left corner of the node whose location is being monitored. The sceneX and sceneY co-ordinates are relative to the scene's top left 0,0 co-ordinates. The screenX and screenY co-ordinates are relative to the top left 0,0 co-ordinates of the current screen.
These co-ordinates are documented in the MouseEvent documentation. There is extra information in understanding co-ordinate systems in the Node and Scene documentation.
import javafx.application.Application;
import static javafx.application.Application.launch;
import javafx.event.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.*;
public class MouseLocationReporter extends Application {
private static final String OUTSIDE_TEXT = "Outside Label";
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
#Override public void start(final Stage stage) {
final Label reporter = new Label(OUTSIDE_TEXT);
Label monitored = createMonitoredLabel(reporter);
VBox layout = new VBox(10);
layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-padding: 10px;");
layout.getChildren().setAll(
monitored,
reporter
);
layout.setPrefWidth(500);
stage.setScene(
new Scene(layout)
);
stage.show();
}
private Label createMonitoredLabel(final Label reporter) {
final Label monitored = new Label("Mouse Location Monitor");
monitored.setStyle("-fx-background-color: forestgreen; -fx-text-fill: white; -fx-font-size: 20px;");
monitored.setOnMouseMoved(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
String msg =
"(x: " + event.getX() + ", y: " + event.getY() + ") -- " +
"(sceneX: " + event.getSceneX() + ", sceneY: " + event.getSceneY() + ") -- " +
"(screenX: " + event.getScreenX()+ ", screenY: " + event.getScreenY() + ")";
reporter.setText(msg);
}
});
monitored.setOnMouseExited(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
reporter.setText(OUTSIDE_TEXT);
}
});
return monitored;
}
}
I tried using AWT's MouseInfo(also imported it), but it's not working.
Don't do this. Mixing different graphical toolkits (for example Swing/AWT and JavaFX) is an advanced topic. In general, if you are writing a JavaFX application, avoid importing anything from the java.awt namespace and the javax.swing namespace. You only really need to use those if you have a large, existing Swing based application or framework that you need to inter-operate with your JavaFX application. In this case, you don't have that situation.
I also saw the code for it in Ensembles(that dragging the ball-window in "advanced stage", that's what I need to do, drag my undecorated JavaFX stage), but it also doesn't work.
I tried the Ensemble Advanced Stage sample and dragging that stage around worked for me.
Another sample for dragging an undecorated stage in JavaFX is in the answer to How to draw a clock with JavaFX 2? which has associated sample code. The method used to make the undecorated stage draggable for the clock sample is:
/** makes a stage draggable using a given node */
public static void makeDraggable(final Stage stage, final Node byNode) {
final Delta dragDelta = new Delta();
byNode.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
// record a delta distance for the drag and drop operation.
dragDelta.x = stage.getX() - mouseEvent.getScreenX();
dragDelta.y = stage.getY() - mouseEvent.getScreenY();
byNode.setCursor(Cursor.MOVE);
}
});
byNode.setOnMouseReleased(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
byNode.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
}
});
byNode.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
stage.setX(mouseEvent.getScreenX() + dragDelta.x);
stage.setY(mouseEvent.getScreenY() + dragDelta.y);
}
});
byNode.setOnMouseEntered(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
if (!mouseEvent.isPrimaryButtonDown()) {
byNode.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
}
}
});
byNode.setOnMouseExited(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
if (!mouseEvent.isPrimaryButtonDown()) {
byNode.setCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT);
}
}
});
}
I am using FXML with controller, and I guess that's the main problem. Should I switch back to the single-file simple JavaFX? I know FXML is better for laying out the UI, but I can't get many of such codes to work.
Lack of understanding and familiarity with the underlying JavaFX APIs is probably your main problem rather than use of FXML. However the additional complexity fxml implies together with the lighter documentation and samples for it on the web may be contributing to your hardships. If use of FXML is making it difficult for you to understand how to get some JavaFX functions to work, I advise to stop using FXML for now. Code the logic by hand using the Java APIs and refer to the Oracle JavaFX tutorials and the Ensemble sample code when you encounter things which are difficult for you.
Once you are comfortable coding directly to the JavaFX API, switch back to using FXML for larger projects which contain many GUI elements. The FXML elements and attributes themselves are built almost completely upon reflection of the standard JavaFX APIs. So, if you understand the core JavaFX APIs, you also understand almost everything about FXML.
Please do not post follow up comments to this answer (as this answer is long enough as it is). If you have new questions, create a new question (one question per question).
What about using Robot for that purpose ?
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html
Using Robots, it is different from posting event to AWT event queue. Events are generated in the native event queue. Actually, with Robot.mouseMove you will not only set mouse position and not only get position.
For getting mouse position, you may stick to MouseInfo
import java.awt.MouseInfo;
// get the mouse's position
Point p = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
It's not working: are you with Mac ? Which is your version of JavaFX ? seems to be issues corrected for FX8. For mac only, you may use
com.sun.glass.ui.Robot robot =
com.sun.glass.ui.Application.GetApplication().createRobot();
// getPosition of the mouse in Mac
int x = robot.getMouseX();
int y = robot.getMouseY();
JavaFx 8 WindowEvent doesn't provide the (x,y) location of the mouse, unfortunately. I solved this (and it works fine) by using the AWT MouseInfo like this:
Tooltip t = new Tooltip();
Tooltip.install(yournode, t);
t.setOnShowing(ev -> {// called just prior to being shown
Point mouse = java.awt.MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
Point2D local = yournode.screenToLocal(mouse.x, mouse.y);
// my app-specific code to get the chart's yaxis value
// then set the text as I want
double pitch = yaxis.getValueForDisplay(local.getY()).doubleValue();
double freq = AudioUtil.pitch2frequency(pitch);
t.setText(String.format("Pitch %.1f: %.1f Hz %.1f samples", pitch, freq, audio.rate / freq));
});
I want my app to change different parts of the UI when the resolution is big enough and is on landscape mode, and detect changes while the app is running (screen rotation on a mobile device, for instance).
I know that I should have an event listen to the screen resolution (which can be obtained via javascript), but I don't know how to do this. How do I hang an event on a always refreshing value?
You want Window.addResizeHandler
Window.addResizeHandler(new ResizeHandler() {
#Override
public void onResize(ResizeEvent event) {
yourCustomLayoutAdjustmentMethod(event.getHeight(), event.getWidth());
}
});
No JavaScript required!
with MGWT library (http://code.google.com/p/mgwt/) :
import these classes
import com.googlecode.mgwt.dom.client.event.orientation.OrientationChangeEvent;
import com.googlecode.mgwt.dom.client.event.orientation.OrientationChangeEvent.ORIENTATION;
import com.googlecode.mgwt.dom.client.event.orientation.OrientationChangeHandler;
import com.googlecode.mgwt.ui.client.MGWT;
define an orientation handler
class MyOrientationChangeHandler implements OrientationChangeHandler {
#Override
public void onOrientationChanged(OrientationChangeEvent event) {
switch (event.getOrientation()) {
case LANDSCAPE:
// handle landscape orientation
return;
case PORTRAIT:
// handle portrait orientation
return;
}
}
}
add your handler
MGWT.addOrientationChangeHandler(new MyOrientationChangeHandler ());
I wrote a wxPython program that I am translating to wxWidgets. The program has a scrolled window that displays an image. Following Rappin, wxPython In Action (Listing 12.1), I used a StaticBitmap within a panel. While surfing the latest wxWidgets documentation, I found a dire warning that wxStaticBitmap should only be used for very small images. It says, "... you should use your own control if you want to display larger images portably." Okay. Show me. I don't have my "own control."
Was Rappin wrong, or is the documentation out of date?
The question - a newbie one, no doubt - is what is the right way to do a simple image-view window in wxWidgets? A drop-in replacement for wxStaticBitmap would be nice. I looked into the "image" program in the wxWidgets "samples" directory. It's as long a War and Peace. Surely there must be a canned class or a simple recipe.
Don't let the size of the "image" sample fool you, only a few lines of code are necessary to do what you want.
Search for the MyImageFrame class in the image.cpp file, it is nothing more than a class with a private bitmap field, a custom constructor to set the bitmap and the window client size, and an event handler for EVT_PAINT:
void OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
{
wxPaintDC dc( this );
dc.DrawBitmap( m_bitmap, 0, 0, true /* use mask */ );
}
Since you don't want a frame class here's your recipe: You create a simple descendant of wxWindow that has a similar constructor, paint handler and duplicates the methods of wxStaticBitmap that you use in your code. Maybe simply one method to set a new bitmap and resize the control to the new bitmap dimensions.
// A scrolled window for showing an image.
class PictureFrame: public wxScrolledWindow
{
public:
PictureFrame()
: wxScrolledWindow()
, bitmap(0,0)
{;}
void Create(wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id = -1)
{
wxScrolledWindow::Create(parent, id);
}
void LoadImage(wxImage &image) {
bitmap = wxBitmap(image);
SetVirtualSize(bitmap.GetWidth(), bitmap.GetHeight());
wxClientDC dc(this);
PrepareDC(dc);
dc.DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0);
}
protected:
wxBitmap bitmap;
void OnMouse(wxMouseEvent &event) {
int xx,yy;
CalcUnscrolledPosition(event.GetX(), event.GetY(), &xx, &yy);
event.m_x = xx; event.m_y = yy;
event.ResumePropagation(1); // Pass along mouse events (e.g. to parent)
event.Skip();
}
void OnPaint(wxPaintEvent &event) {
wxPaintDC dc(this);
PrepareDC(dc);
dc.DrawBitmap(bitmap, 0,0, true);
}
private:
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(PictureFrame,wxScrolledWindow)
EVT_PAINT(PictureFrame::OnPaint)
EVT_MOUSE_EVENTS(PictureFrame::OnMouse)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
