let us make technology work for you

you can get the display object bounds using object.contentBounds
Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
local img = display.newImage('square.png'); local bounds = img.contentBounds print("xMin: ".. bounds.xMin) print("yMin: ".. bounds.yMin) print("xMax: ".. bounds.xMax) print("yMax: ".. bounds.yMax) |
For performing a dissolve transition, we need two images
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
--first image <pre class="brush:c"> local img1 = display.newImageRect("square.png", 112, 112); img1.x = display.contentWidth * 0.5; img1.y = display.contentHeight * 0.4; img1.alpha = 1; |
–second image
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
local img2 = display.newImageRect("circle.png", 112, 112); img2.x = display.contentWidth * 0.5; img2.y = display.contentHeight * 0.4; -- we must hide the second image before animation img2.isVisible = false; --performs transition transition.dissolve(img1, img2, 1000, 0); |
A simple code snippet in corona for drag and drop:
local function onTouch( event )
local t = event.target
local phase = event.phase
if “began” == phase then
t.isFocus = true
t.x0 = event.x – t.x
t.y0 = event.y – t.y
elseif t.isFocus then
if “moved” == phase then
t.x = event.x – t.x0
t.y = event.y – t.y0
elseif “ended” == phase or “cancelled” == phase then
display.getCurrentStage():setFocus( nil )
t.isFocus = false
t.setFillColor( 0, 255, 0 )
end
end
return true
end
local function onComplete( event )
print “Completed”
end
local rect = display.newRect( 50, 50, 100, 100)
rect:setFillColor( 255, 0, 0 )
rect:addEventListener( “touch”, onTouch )
local circle = display.newCircle(100, 70, 30)
circle:setFillColor( 0, 255, 0 )
circle:addEventListener( “touch”, onTouch )
local abc = display.newImage(“button.png”)
abc.x = display.contentWidth / 2
abc.y = display.contentHeight / 2
abc:addEventListener( “tap”, abc )
function abc:tap( event )
print “button clicked”
end

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"some.png"]; NSData *dataObj = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 1.0); |

1 2 3 |
local yourBody = display.newImage( "yourImage.png" ) yourBody.x = 50; yourBody.y = 250; yourBody.rotation = -12 physics.addBody( yourBody, "static", { friction=0.5 } ) |
It is useful,if we make an objects into a group. so that we can easily add and remove the objects from a group and it will not affect other objects.The following code will add the objects into a group.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
local my_group = display.newGroup(); local img1 = display.newImage( "sky.png", true ) my_group:insert( sky ) img1.x = 160; sky.y = 160 local img2 = display.newImage( "sky.png", true ) my_group:insert( img2 ) img2 =.x = 1120; img2.y = 160 |
We can add body to an image using the following code
|
1 2 |
local board = display.newImage( "board.png" ) physics.addBody( board, { density=0.8, friction=0.3, bounce=0.3 } ) |
for enabling retina display in corona add the following lines in config.lua
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
application = { content = { width = 320, height = 480, scale = "letterbox", imageSuffix = { ["-x15"] = 1.5, -- A good scale for Droid, Nexus One, etc. ["-x2"] = 2, -- A good scale for iPhone 4 and iPad }, } } |
and include images with twice and 1.5 larger than the original and named as image-x2.png and image-x15.png in the project folder
You should enable RetinaDisplay mode ONLY if you want to use HighRes images on an iPhone4. Remember that an iPhone4 also works in “low res” mode.
// Add this code in your Application Delegate, right after initializing the director
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
// Director Initialization [director setOpenGLView:glView]; // Enables High Res mode (Retina Display) on iPhone 4 and maintains low res on all other devices if( ! [director enableRetinaDisplay:YES] ) CCLOG(@"Retina Display Not supported"); |
then keep both normal and hd images (with extension image-hd.png).
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
NSArray *pathArr = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask,YES); path = [[pathArr objectAtIndex:0]stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"imagename.png"]]; // Getting the path of the image, whose size is to be calculated. NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; // Creating the object of file manager. NSDictionary *fileAttributes = [fileManager fileAttributesAtPath:path traverseLink:YES]; // Getting the attributes of the file in the path. if(fileAttributes != nil) { NSString *fileSize = [fileAttributes objectForKey:@"NSFileSize"]; // Getting the value corresponding to the key NSFileSize from the attributes array and storing it to a string.. NSLog(@"File size: %@ kb", fileSize); } |
