Extended Canvas Flood Fill Extension
Introducing the Extended Canvas Flood Fill Extension for Android app development, a powerful and versatile tool designed to bring advanced flood fill capabilities to your apps. This extension is a perfect solution for developers looking to implement custom graphics and interactive art features in their applications.
Features
The Extended Canvas Flood Fill Extension offers a range of functionalities:
- Flood Fill Circle: Apply flood fill within a specified radius from a point, perfect for creating circular patterns and effects.
- Flood Fill with Density Control: Adjust the density of the flood fill to control the spread rate, allowing for more artistic control over the filling process.
- Point Size and Density-Based Flood Fill: Combine point size and density for a granular control over the flood fill pattern and spread.
- Efficient Bitmap Handling: Utilize
Bitmap
for efficient pixel manipulation, ensuring smooth and responsive canvas drawing operations. - Dynamic Filling Options: Support for various filling parameters like color, radius, density, and point size.
- Memory management: The extension has good memory management.
Key Improvements:
-
Modified
saveCurrentState
Method:- The method now creates a copy of the current bitmap state before pushing it onto the undo stack.
- This change prevents the recycling of the bitmap currently in use, which was causing the error when trying to repaint the same area.
-
Improved Bitmap Management:
- Additional checks were implemented to ensure that a bitmap is not recycled if it's still in use or might be used again soon.
- The code now carefully manages the lifecycle of bitmaps, especially when dealing with undo and redo stacks.
-
Stack Management:
- The undo and redo stacks now handle bitmap states more reliably. When a state is pushed to the stack, it's a fresh copy, ensuring the original bitmap can be safely used or recycled without affecting the stack's integrity.
-
Handling Recycled Bitmaps:
- Introduced checks for
isRecycled()
on bitmaps before their use to prevent runtime errors. - If a bitmap is found to be recycled when it's needed, the code now handles the scenario by creating a new bitmap.
- Introduced checks for
-
Optimizations for Performance and Memory Usage:
- Suggested optimizations to reduce memory consumption by reusing bitmaps where possible.
- Advised on monitoring the quantity of bitmaps in memory to avoid
OutOfMemoryError
.
These improvements aim to enhance the application's stability, particularly when performing repetitive bitmap operations such as repainting the same area multiple times.
