Creating a circle with 4 segments using canvas in android with rotation

Question

I need to create a segmented circle with four random colours like this:

I have made the following code on referring to android documentation about using canvas.drawArc() but it dosent work as per my expectations as its showing only one segment.

           Bitmap bitMap = Bitmap.createBitmap(100, 100, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

    bitMap = bitMap.copy(bitMap.getConfig(), true);
    // Construct a canvas with the specified bitmap to draw into
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitMap);
    // Create a new paint with default settings.
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    // smooths out the edges of what is being drawn
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    // set color
    paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);

    paint.setStrokeWidth(4.5f);


    RectF oval = new RectF(200F, 200F, 450F, 450F);

    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 0F, 90F, true, paint);
    paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 90F, 90F, true, paint);
    paint.setColor(Color.RED);

    canvas.drawArc(oval, 180F, 90F, true, paint);
    paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);

    canvas.drawArc(oval, 270F, 90F, true, paint);

    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitMap);

Answer 1

Your arc angles are wrong. See drawArc Canvas reference, the angle arguments are like this:

• startAngle - Starting angle (in degrees) where the arc begins

• sweepAngle - Sweep angle (in degrees) measured clockwise

Your last arc is covering all the previous ones. You should do something like (Kotlin code below):

private val oval = RectF(200F, 200F, 450F, 450F)

private val paint = Paint()

override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas) {
  paint.style = Paint.Style.FILL

  paint.color = Color.BLACK
  canvas.drawArc(oval, 0F, 90F, true, paint)
  paint.color = Color.BLUE
  canvas.drawArc(oval, 90F, 90F, true, paint)
  paint.color = Color.RED
  canvas.drawArc(oval, 180F, 90F, true, paint)
  paint.color = Color.GREEN
  canvas.drawArc(oval, 270F, 90F, true, paint)
}

Will draw something like:

Java version:

  private RectF oval = new RectF(0F,0F,100F,100F);

  private Paint paint = new Paint();

  @Override
  protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);

    paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 0F, 90F, true, paint);
    paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 90F, 1800F, true, paint)
    paint.setColor(Color.RED);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 0F, 190F, true, paint)
    paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    canvas.drawArc(oval, 270F, 360F, true, paint)
  }
