Well, alrighty then... I have cases where graphics coincide with other widgets...
Perhaps the idea you need is to add a ImageView widget to your main.xml. Then you can grab it's R.id.blah and "draw" into it. I use a RELATIVE LAYOUT as the base and I have a static ICON like thingy in the upper left corner; some labels (textviews) to its right, then below all of that I have another pair of imageviews; one is a small icon that gets "placed" over the larger, background image. The I grab the DOWN, MOVE, and UP on the image to decide if the user is dragging the image around, zooming in, or zooming out. By using the context of *just* the image container, you should be able to do whatever you want inside that without effecting anything else on the screen. I have a video (prepared for my client) which demonstrates what I've been saying above. If you want, go to my PROFILE, and email me, and I'll send back the video (or a link where you can get it.) If what I've done is on the right track I'll send you the source as well. On Apr 16, 2:41 pm, BobG <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tony. Thanks for replying.
