Canvas is a widget that you use to draw arbitrary graphics. When you want to draw a shape, you set the current path to that shape and then paint the shape by stroking, filling, or both stroking and filling. Stroking is the process of painting a line along the current path. Filling is the process of painting the area contained within the path.
You use paths to draw both simple shapes (for example, lines, circles, or rectangles) and complex shapes (such as the silhouette of a mountain range) in a canvas. You can use a path to both draw the outline of a shape and fill the inside of a shape. Prior to building the path, you can define properties such as fillStyle or strokeStyle that can be used by drawing primitives to fill or stroke the path.
When you close the path, the canvas connects the end of the last line segment to the start of the first segment and terminates the current subpath. If you don’t close the path by calling closePath before painting, the path is implicitly closed for you by drawing primitives that fill or clip (but it is not closed for stroking).
This technique is useful only in certain limited cases. In particular, it is not sufficient for full textual input, because it does not handle upper and lower case, keyboard shift states, and characters that require more than one keystroke to enter. For textual input, applications should always use {@link TextBox TextBox} or {@link TextField TextField}objects.
It is sometimes useful to find the name of a key in order to display a message about this key. In this case the application may use the {@link #getKeyName(int) getKeyName()} method to find a key's name.
Portable applications that need arrow key events and gaming-related events should use game actions in preference to key codes and key names. MIDP defines the following game actions: {@link #UP UP}, {@link #DOWN DOWN}, {@link #LEFT LEFT}, {@link #RIGHT RIGHT}, {@link #FIRE FIRE}, {@link #GAME_A GAME_A}, {@link #GAME_B GAME_B}, {@link #GAME_C GAME_C}, and {@link #GAME_D GAME_D}.
Each key code may be mapped to at most one game action. However, a game action may be associated with more than one key code. The application can translate a key code into a game action using the {@link #getGameAction(int) getGameAction(int keyCode)} method, and it can translate a game action intoa key code using the {@link #getKeyCode(int) getKeyCode(int gameAction)}method. There may be multiple keycodes associated with a particular game action, but getKeyCode returns only one of them. Supposing that g is a valid game action and k is a valid key code for a key associated with a game action, consider the following expressions:
|
Expression (1) is always true. However, expression (2) might be true but is not necessarily true.
The implementation is not allowed to change the mapping of game actions and key codes during execution of the application.
Portable applications that are interested in using game actions should translate every key event into a game action by calling the {@link #getGameAction getGameAction()} method and then testing the result. Forexample, on some devices the game actions UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT may be mapped to 4-way navigation arrow keys. In this case, getKeyCode(UP) would return a device-dependent code for the up-arrow key. On other devices, a possible mapping would be on the number keys 2, 4, 6 and 8. In this case, getKeyCode(UP) would return KEY_NUM2. In both cases, the getGameAction() method would return the LEFT game action when the user presses the key that is a "natural left" on her device.
It is also possible for the user to issue {@link Command commands} whena canvas is current. Commands are mapped to keys and menus in a device-specific fashion. For some devices the keys used for commands may overlap with the keys that will deliver key code events to the canvas. If this is the case, the device will provide a means transparent to the application that enables the user to select a mode that determines whether these keys will deliver commands or key code events to the application. When the Canvas is in normal mode (see below), the set of key code events available to a canvas will not change depending upon the number of commands present or the presence of a command listener. When the Canvas is in full-screen mode, if there is no command listener present, the device may choose to deliver key code events for keys that would otherwise be reserved for delivery of commands. Game developers should be aware that access to commands will vary greatly across devices, and that requiring the user to issue commands during game play may have a great impact on the ease with which the game can be played.
The Canvas object defines several methods that are called by the implementation. These methods are primarily for the purpose of delivering events to the application, and so they are referred to as event delivery methods. The set of methods is:
showNotify() hideNotify() keyPressed() keyRepeated() keyReleased() pointerPressed() pointerDragged() pointerReleased() paint() These methods are all called serially. That is, the implementation will never call an event delivery method before a prior call to any of the event delivery methods has returned. The serviceRepaints() method is an exception to this rule, as it blocks until paint() is called and returns. This will occur even if the application is in the midst of one of the event delivery methods when it calls serviceRepaints().
The {@link Display#callSerially Display.callSerially()} method can beused to serialize some application-defined work with the event stream. For further information, see the Event Handling and Concurrency sections of the package summary.
The key-related, pointer-related, and paint() methods will only be called while the Canvas is actually visible on the output device. These methods will therefore only be called on this Canvas object only after a call to showNotify() and before a call to hideNotify(). After hideNotify() has been called, none of the key, pointer, and paint methods will be called until after a subsequent call to showNotify() has returned. A call to a run() method resulting from callSerially() may occur irrespective of calls to showNotify() and hideNotify().
The {@link #showNotify() showNotify()} method is called prior to theCanvas actually being made visible on the display, and the {@link #hideNotify() hideNotify()} method is called after theCanvas has been removed from the display. The visibility state of a Canvas (or any other Displayable object) may be queried through the use of the {@link Displayable#isShown() Displayable.isShown()} method. The change invisibility state of a Canvas may be caused by the application management software moving MIDlets between foreground and background states, or by the system obscuring the Canvas with system screens. Thus, the calls to showNotify() and hideNotify() are not under the control of the MIDlet and may occur fairly frequently. Application developers are encouraged to perform expensive setup and teardown tasks outside the showNotify() and hideNotify() methods in order to make them as lightweight as possible.
A Canvas can be in normal mode or in full-screen mode. In normal mode, space on the display may be occupied by command labels, a title, and a ticker. By setting a Canvas into full-screen mode, the application is requesting that the Canvas occupy as much of the display space as is possible. In full-screen mode, the title and ticker are not displayed even if they are present on the Canvas, and Commands may be presented using some alternative means (such as through a pop-up menu). Note that the implementation may still consume a portion of the display for things like status indicators, even if the displayed Canvas is in full-screen mode. In full-screen mode, although the title is not displayed, its text may still be used for other purposes, such as for the title of a pop-up menu of Commands.
Canvas objects are in normal mode by default. The normal vs. full-screen mode setting is controlled through the use of the {@link #setFullScreenMode} method.
Calling {@link #setFullScreenMode} may result in {@link #sizeChanged(int,int) sizeChanged()} being called.The default implementation of this method does nothing. The application can override this method to handle changes in size of available drawing area.
Note: As mentioned in the "Specification Requirements" section of the overview, implementations must provide the user with an indication of network usage. If the indicator is rendered on screen, it must be visible when network activity occurs, even when the Canvas is in full-screen mode.
The canvas listens to selection events of the associated JTree and highlights the first selected node of that tree.
