Problem displaying ShapeDrawable in an ImageView
android
Solution
You can also use a simple View and just set its background drawable to the shape using `setBackgroundDrawable`.
The ImageView probably can't display your shape because it has no default size. You can give your shape a default sizer using `sD.setIntrinsicWidth` and `sD.setIntrinsicHeight`.
Problem
I am writing an app which will create drawable shapes and add them to other drawables. (Think Tetris pieces onto a Tetris board.) As a test, I want to have a particular shape appear when my activity is loaded, but I cannot get a Drawable to appear in the ImageView I created. Could anyone explain why the following code isn't working? Activity code: ``` public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ImageView mImg = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img); ShapeDrawable sD = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape()); sD.setBounds(1,1,10,10); sD.getPaint().setColor(Color.BLUE); mImg.setImageDrawable(sD); } ``` main.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/img" android:layout_width="320px" android:layout_height="206px" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/debug" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout> ``` Note: I have been able to make static resources from the 'drawable' folder appear in this ImageView, just not Drawables I have created in the code.
