How to draw Arc between two points on the Canvas?
Do something like this:
//Initialized paint on a class level object.
Paint p = new Paint();
p.setColor(Color.BLACK);
//Calculate the rect / bounds of oval
RectF rectF = new RectF(50, 20, 100, 80);
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
//Do the drawing in onDraw() method of View.
canvas.drawArc (rectF, 90, 45, false, p);
}
Finally I got the solution from this code:
float radius = 20;
final RectF oval = new RectF();
oval.set(point1.x - radius, point1.y - radius, point1.x + radius, point1.y+ radius);
Path myPath = new Path();
myPath.arcTo(oval, startAngle, -(float) sweepAngle, true);
To calculate startAngle
, use this code:
int startAngle = (int) (180 / Math.PI * Math.atan2(point.y - point1.y, point.x - point1.x));
Here, point1
means where you want to start drawing the Arc. sweepAngle
means the angle between two lines. We have to calculate that by using two points like the blue points in my Question image.
