Zustandsbeibehaltung und dauerhafte Speicherung

Die Statusbeibehaltung und der nichtflüchtige Speicher sind wichtige Aspekte von Apps, die die Eingabe mit einem Stift unterstützen. Dazu ist eine durchdachte Strategie zum Speichern des Status in Szenarien wie Konfigurationsänderungen und zum dauerhaften Speichern der Zeichnungen eines Nutzers in einer Datenbank erforderlich.

Status beibehalten

In ansichtsbasierten Apps wird der UI-Status mithilfe einer Kombination aus Folgendem verwaltet:

Nichtflüchtiger Speicher

To enable features such as document saving, loading, and potential real-time collaboration, store strokes and associated data in a serialized format. For the Ink API, manual serialization and deserialization are necessary.

To accurately restore a stroke, save its Brush and StrokeInputBatch.

The Storage module simplifies compactly serializing the most complex part: the StrokeInputBatch.

To save a stroke:

  • Serialize the StrokeInputBatch using the storage module's encode function. Store the resulting binary data.
  • Separately save the essential properties of the stroke's Brush:
    • The enum that represents the brush family &mdash Although the instance can be serialized, this is not efficient for apps that use a limited selection of brush families
    • colorLong
    • size
    • epsilon
fun serializeStroke(stroke: Stroke): SerializedStroke {
  val serializedBrush = serializeBrush(stroke.brush)
  val encodedSerializedInputs = ByteArrayOutputStream().use
    {
      stroke.inputs.encode(it)
      it.toByteArray()
    }

  return SerializedStroke(
    inputs = encodedSerializedInputs,
    brush = serializedBrush
  )
}

To load a stroke object:

  • Retrieve the saved binary data for the StrokeInputBatch and deserialize it using the storage module's decode() function.
  • Retrieve the saved Brush properties and create the brush.

  • Create the final stroke using the recreated brush and the deserialized StrokeInputBatch.

    fun deserializeStroke(serializedStroke: SerializedStroke): Stroke {
  val inputs = ByteArrayInputStream(serializedStroke.inputs).use {
    StrokeInputBatch.decode(it)
  }
  val brush = deserializeBrush(serializedStroke.brush)
  return Stroke(brush = brush, inputs = inputs)
}

Handle zoom, pan, and rotation

If your app supports zooming, panning, or rotation, you must provide the current transformation to InProgressStrokes. This helps newly drawn strokes match the position and scale of your existing strokes.

You do this by passing a Matrix to the pointerEventToWorldTransform parameter. The matrix should represent the inverse of the transformation you apply to your finished strokes canvas.

@Composable
fun ZoomableDrawingScreen(...) {
    // 1. Manage your zoom/pan state (e.g., using detectTransformGestures).
    var zoom by remember { mutableStateOf(1f) }
    var pan by remember { mutableStateOf(Offset.Zero) }

    // 2. Create the Matrix.
    val pointerEventToWorldTransform = remember(zoom, pan) {
        android.graphics.Matrix().apply {
            // Apply the inverse of your rendering transforms
            postTranslate(-pan.x, -pan.y)
            postScale(1 / zoom, 1 / zoom)
        }
    }

    Box(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
        // ...Your finished strokes Canvas, with regular transform applied

        // 3. Pass the matrix to InProgressStrokes.
        InProgressStrokes(
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(),
            pointerEventToWorldTransform = pointerEventToWorldTransform,
            defaultBrush = currentBrush,
            nextBrush = onGetNextBrush,
            onStrokesFinished = onStrokesFinished
        )
    }
}

Export strokes

Möglicherweise müssen Sie die Strichszene als statische Bilddatei exportieren. Das ist nützlich, wenn Sie die Zeichnung für andere Anwendungen freigeben, Thumbnails generieren oder eine endgültige, nicht bearbeitbare Version der Inhalte speichern möchten.

Wenn Sie eine Szene exportieren möchten, können Sie die Striche in ein Offscreen-Bitmap rendern, anstatt direkt auf den Bildschirm. Verwenden Sie Android's Picture API, um Zeichnungen auf einer Zeichenfläche aufzuzeichnen, ohne dass eine sichtbare UI-Komponente erforderlich ist.

Dazu müssen Sie eine Picture-Instanz erstellen, beginRecording() aufrufen, um eine Canvas zu erhalten, und dann mit Ihrer vorhandenen CanvasStrokeRenderer jeden Strich auf diese Canvas zeichnen. Nachdem Sie alle Zeichenbefehle aufgezeichnet haben, können Sie mit Picture ein Bitmap erstellen, das Sie dann komprimieren und in einer Datei speichern können.

fun exportDocumentAsImage() {
  val picture = Picture()
  val canvas = picture.beginRecording(bitmapWidth, bitmapHeight)

  // The following is similar logic that you'd use in your custom View.onDraw or Compose Canvas.
  for (item in myDocument) {
    when (item) {
      is Stroke -> {
        canvasStrokeRenderer.draw(canvas, stroke, worldToScreenTransform)
      }
      // Draw your other types of items to the canvas.
    }
  }

  // Create a Bitmap from the Picture and write it to a file.
  val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(picture)
  val outstream = FileOutputStream(filename)
  bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outstream)
}

Data object and converter helpers

Define a serialization object structure that mirrors needed Ink API objects.

Use the Ink API's storage module to encode and decode StrokeInputBatch.
