This app is not just a digital alternative for traditional sketchbooks and colorful pencils, this is a powerful tool for those people whose lives are tightly connected to art.
So we decided to show how to build android drawing app without deep knowledge in programming using an ordinary integrated development environment (IDE) called Eclipse.
The Path consists of straight lines and various types of curves meaning how a chosen drawing instrument moves: left or right, up or down.
Open your created class with java extension and declare variables at the top of it to define what to draw, how to draw, to define an initial color, canvas, and its bitmap, and a default brush size.
Taking into account that the view size is 0 during creation, we have to add a new OnSizeChanged method which will be called when the rendering engine will generate the size of your screen.
On this stage of development, your app can build objects if you set coordinates through the code.
As part of the Android Operative system, there is a restriction that blocks installing applications outside of the Google Play Store.
There is a way to allow the installation of third-party APK files without going through the Play store, though it will require some configuration on your part.
If you run an APK on your device without first enabling the feature, you will see the following on your screen.
As you can see, it says your phone is set to block apps from “unknown sources.” The “unknown sources” term means anything other than the official Play Store.
So, how do you go about overcoming this prompt and enabling the non-store apps to install on your device?
1 – Open the App on your Android device, and tap on the SETTINGS.
Android Studio is a free integrated development environment (IDE) for the Android platform developments which is based on the IntelliJ Java IDE.
Google has recently launched Android Studio 2.2 which is the latest version of IDE, encrypted in it the new advanced set of features throughout every major phase of the development process like design, develop, build and test.
Now let us have a closer look on some of the features:
