How to tilt the layout in android?

Question

I need to tilt the layout in android about 45 degrees counterclockwise. I want to implement the game in android as stackopolis . Is there a way to align tiles like in a game. I have a tile image, and now I use canvas to align this.but there I can’t get a click event, and it's hard to align tiles.is grid view Compatable.any new idea. I have these images with me.

I want to align this plate in grid.and I need to click the event, as in stackopolis

Answer 1

You really don't want to use layouts to create such a game. You must create a tile engine using bitmap or OpenGL.

Answer 2

You can use the following methods to rotate the view:

• setRotation
• setRotationX
• setRotationY

Note. All of the above Because: API Level 11

Answer 3

If you don’t know much about creating a game, read this book.

He will teach you ALL that you need to know in order to do what you want. It also installs OpenGL ES for you to make your application enjoyable and smooth.

I would suggest OpenGL, using the Canvas class will not only be slower, but it will also be limited.

Answer 4

For such a game, you should really implement your own graphic code instead of relying on standard Android layout components. Unable to rotate Android layout 45 degrees. There are two ways to do this: you can use Canvas and draw your graphics using primitives and bitmaps, or you can go with a more powerful OpenGL implementation that has a steeper learning curve but can have better results.

You can read more about 2D graphics on Android here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html

And more about 3D graphics here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/opengl.html

Keep in mind that OpenGL is more suitable for real-time games, where the game must support a good frame rate. If your game is a strategy or turn-based game, you can probably get away with a simpler implementation on canvas. I would advise you to check the following classes as part of:

Canvas http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas.html

SurfaceHolder http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/SurfaceHolder.html

GLSurfaceView http://developer.android.com/reference/android/opengl/GLSurfaceView.html

Answer 5

Have you checked this Android game engine? This is called AndEngine - while I don’t need to play a lot with it - it has the functionality to have a game like “topview”, like in Diablo II.
