My problem is simple: how to make same android homescreen icon effect on clicking them? In other words how to make that temporary back lighting effect? In general how to implement android image buttons backlight effect that surround picture edge? Possibly I want to make it programmatically without insert a lot of images in my app. Thanks in advance.
I found something working:
public Bitmap highlightImage(Bitmap src) {
// create new bitmap, which will be painted and becomes result image
Bitmap bmOut = Bitmap.createBitmap(src.getWidth() , src.getHeight() , Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
// setup canvas for painting
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmOut);
// setup default color
canvas.drawColor(0, PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR);
// create a blur paint for capturing alpha
Paint ptBlur = new Paint();
ptBlur.setMaskFilter(new BlurMaskFilter(15, Blur.NORMAL));
int[] offsetXY = new int[2];
// capture alpha into a bitmap
Bitmap bmAlpha = src.extractAlpha(ptBlur, offsetXY);
// create a color paint
Paint ptAlphaColor = new Paint();
ptAlphaColor.setColor(0xFFFFFFFF);
// paint color for captured alpha region (bitmap)
canvas.drawBitmap(bmAlpha, offsetXY[0], offsetXY[1], ptAlphaColor);
// free memory
bmAlpha.recycle();
// paint the image source
canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0, 0, null);
// return out final image
return bmOut;
}
You can use this method for example in an onclick button to highlight edge of a bitmap
