Eraser Mode

[DardanBala]

Hi, Eraser is not done correctly what actually does is just paint with a white color.

I resolve this problem by the following code.

paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR));
paint.setARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);

Below code didn't work for eraser. paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR)); paint.setARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);

In case anyone else is having this problem, a quick fix in my case was calling setAlpha(0.99f) on either your CanvasView object or a view containing it. It's not ideal, since the drawing is no longer fully opaque, but it allows your erase path to be transparent.

@kthilt can you share the code snippet of your solution? Actually I don't understand where you set alpha to 0.99f.

[kthilt]

@jackmiras I'm setting the alpha for the instance of CanvasView I'm using. For example, in your activity onCreate(), you could do, CanvasView myCanvasView = (CanvasView)findViewById(R.id.my_canvas_view_id); myCanvasView.setAlpha(0.99f);

@jackmiras , thanks a lot, it worked for me. Appreciated.

[hpdeveloper28]

@jackmiras , I have one more issue, when I set Background image for CanvasView and I try to erase then Background image getting clear, pleae let me know if you have any solution for the same.

[jackmiras]

Hi @hpdeveloper28 I doesn't face this problem because I don't work this much with the project. But I remember that everything that you draw will be put in the same canvas and one of the things that I hoped to implement in the future is put the draw in a new layer in order to have things in different layers.

hi @jackmiras, I am still not able to erase anything on canvas image, it's drawing eraser with a white background which is not useful while erasing anything on Image. Please suggest me what I need to do to erase draw things on an image?
