I've done this, and as mentioned, Canvas.translate and canvas.rotate
are the way to go.
If you are just using a hold and drag, you wouldn't have to worry so
much about angular velocity. Code like this would work:
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
float x = e.getX();
float y = e.getY();
switch (e.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
//find an approximate angle between them.
float dx = x-cx;
float dy = y-cy;
double a=Math.atan2(dy,dx);
float dpx= mPreviousX-cx;
float dpy= mPreviousY-cy;
double b=Math.atan2(dpy, dpx);
double diff = a-b;
this.bearing -= Math.toDegrees(diff);
this.invalidate();
}
mPreviousX = x;
mPreviousY = y;
return true;
}
