Touching on specific texture libgdx

Question

i want to touch a specific texture on my screen to start my game but my problem is when i touch anywhere it start the game

  public void handleInput() {
    if(Gdx.input.isTouched()){
        //gsm is a GameStateManger
        gsm.set(new PlayState(gsm));
        dispose();

    Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle((Gdx.graphics.getWidth() / 2)-(playButton.getWidth()/2)+55,Pharaonic.hight/12,480,193); //corners of the image/texture
    Vector3 Point;
    Point=new Vector3(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY(),0);
    Point.set(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY(),0);

    if(bounds.contains(Point.x, Point.y)){
            gsm.set(new PlayState(gsm));
            dispose();
        }}

    }

and here is the update method

@Override
public void update(float dt) {
    handleInput();
}

I really appreciate any help solving this one.

Answer 1

Use Sprite instead of Texture, Sprite holds the geometry, color, and texture information for drawing 2D sprites using batch.

Initialize playSprite in show() or create() method

playSprite=new Sprite(playButton);
playSprite.setSize(200,100);   // set size
playSprite.setPosition(Gdx.graphics.getWidth()/2-playSprite.getWidth()/2,Gdx.graphics.getHeight()/2-playSprite.getHeight()/2);   //set position

Render your Sprite

playSprite.draw(batch);

Bound your touch with sprite bounding rectangle.

@Override
public void handleInput() {

    if (Gdx.input.isTouched()) {
        if (playSprite.getBoundingRectangle().contains(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY())) {
            gsm.set(new PlayState(gsm));
            dispose();
        }
    }
}

EDIT

@Override
public void handleInput() {

    if (Gdx.input.isTouched()) {
        if (playSprite.getBoundingRectangle().contains(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight()-Gdx.input.getY())) {
            gsm.set(new PlayState(gsm));
            dispose();
        }
    }
}
