How to display a button in random screen position?
This example demonstrates How to display a button in random screen position
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_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 = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent"> <Button android:id = "@+id/my_button" android:layout_width = "100dp" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_x = "0dp" android:layout_y = "0dp" android:text = "Yes" /> </LinearLayout>
In the above code, we have taken a button to move random position.
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.myapplication; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity; import android.util.DisplayMetrics; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.LinearLayout; import java.util.Random; import java.util.Timer; import java.util.TimerTask; public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_button); final DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics); final Timer timer = new Timer(); timer.schedule(new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { Random R = new Random(); final float dx = R.nextFloat() * displaymetrics.widthPixels; final float dy = R.nextFloat() * displaymetrics.heightPixels; final Timer timer = new Timer(); button.animate() .x(dx) .y(dy) .setDuration(0) .start(); } }); } }, 0, 1000); } }
