Drawing a squircle shape on canvas (Android)

Question

Here is what I\'m using to draw a circle shape on to the canvas (and then an icon bitmap on it):

private static Bitmap makeIcon(int radius, int color, Bitmap         


        

Answer 1

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        Path squirclePath = getSquirclePaath(150, 250, 400);
        canvas.drawPath(squirclePath, mPaint);
    }

    private static Path getSquirclePaath(int left, int top, int radius){
        //Formula: (|x|)^3 + (|y|)^3 = radius^3
        final double radiusToPow = radius * radius * radius;

        Path path = new Path();
        path.moveTo(-radius, 0);
        for (int x = -radius ; x <= radius ; x++)
            path.lineTo(x, ((float) Math.cbrt(radiusToPow - Math.abs(x * x * x))));
        for (int x = radius ; x >= -radius ; x--)
            path.lineTo(x, ((float) -Math.cbrt(radiusToPow - Math.abs(x * x * x))));
        path.close();

        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postTranslate(left + radius, top + radius);
        path.transform(matrix);

        return path;
    }
