Android Code Snippet [B4X] [BitmapCreator] Draw radial gradients

Currently BitmapCreator supports linear and cubic gradients. This sub creates a radial gradient:

Public Sub FillRadialGradient (bc As BitmapCreator, GradColors() As Int, Rect As B4XRect)
   Dim RGBColor(GradColors.Length) As ARGBColor
   For i = 0 To GradColors.Length - 1
       bc.ColorToARGB(GradColors(i), RGBColor(i))
   Next
   Dim MaxDistance As Int = Ceil(Sqrt(Power(Rect.Width / 2, 2) + Power(Rect.Height / 2, 2)))
   Dim DistanceToColor(MaxDistance) As ARGBColor
   Dim CurrentColorIndex As Int
   Dim LengthOfEachColor As Int = Ceil(MaxDistance / (GradColors.Length - 1))
   Dim c As Int
   For i = 0 To MaxDistance - 1
       Dim l As Float = CurrentColorIndex / LengthOfEachColor
       DistanceToColor(i).a = RGBColor(c).a + l * (RGBColor(c + 1).a - RGBColor(c).a)
       DistanceToColor(i).r = RGBColor(c).r + l * (RGBColor(c + 1).r - RGBColor(c).r)
       DistanceToColor(i).g = RGBColor(c).g + l * (RGBColor(c + 1).g - RGBColor(c).g)
       DistanceToColor(i).b = RGBColor(c).b + l * (RGBColor(c + 1).b - RGBColor(c).b)
       CurrentColorIndex = CurrentColorIndex + 1
       If CurrentColorIndex = LengthOfEachColor Then
           CurrentColorIndex = 0
           c = c + 1
       End If
   Next
   Dim cx As Int = Rect.CenterX
   Dim cy As Int = Rect.CenterY
   For x = Max(0, Rect.Left) To Min(bc.mWidth - 1, Rect.Right - 1)
       Dim dx As Int = Power(x - cx, 2)
       For y = Max(0, Rect.Top) To Min(bc.mHeight - 1, Rect.Bottom - 1)
           Dim distance As Int = Sqrt(dx + Power(y - cy, 2))
           bc.SetARGB(x, y, DistanceToColor(distance))
       Next
   Next
End Sub

Usage example:

 Dim bc As BitmapCreator
   Dim scale As Float = 100dip / 100
   bc.Initialize(ImageView1.Width / scale, ImageView1.Height / scale)
   Dim r As B4XRect
   r.Initialize(0, 0, bc.mWidth / 2, bc.mHeight / 2)
   FillRadialGradient(bc, Array As Int(xui.Color_White, xui.Color_Black), r)
   
   r.Initialize(bc.mWidth / 2, 0, bc.mWidth, bc.mHeight / 2)
   FillRadialGradient(bc, Array As Int(xui.Color_Red, xui.Color_Green, xui.Color_Blue), r)
   
   r.Initialize(bc.mWidth / 2, bc.mHeight / 2, bc.mWidth, bc.mHeight)
   FillRadialGradient(bc, Array As Int(xui.Color_Black, xui.Color_White), r)
   
   r.Initialize(0, bc.mHeight / 2, bc.mWidth / 2, bc.mHeight)
   FillRadialGradient(bc, Array As Int(xui.Color_Red, 0xFFFF5200, xui.Color_Yellow, xui.Color_Green, xui.Color_Blue, _
       0xFFBF00FF, 0xFFFF00BB), r)
       
   ImageView1.SetBitmap(bc.Bitmap)

With the update to the new BitmapCreator the 'FillRadialGradient' became an own property of the BitmapCreator. The upper function is not necessary any more.

' Brush with RadialGradient
    Dim bc2 As BitmapCreator
    bc2.Initialize( bc.mWidth, bc.mHeight )
    '
    Dim rect As B4XRect
    rect.Initialize( 0, 0, bc2.mWidth-1, bc2.mHeight-1 )
    bc2.FillRadialGradient( Array As Int( Rnd(0xFF000000,-1), Rnd(0xFF000000,-1), Rnd(0xFF000000,-1), Rnd(0xFF000000,-1), Rnd(0xFF000000,-1) ), rect )

Please, specify that in the usage example ImageView1 is a B4XImageView.

Also, change this:

bc.Initialize(ImageView1.Width / scale, ImageView1.Height / scale)

to:

bc.Initialize(ImageView1.mbase.Width / scale, ImageView1.mbase.Height / scale)

[I tried the example in B4J]

Why make wrong statements in old and irrelevant threads?
1. As written in post #2 it is a built-in method now.
2. The original code was written before B4XImageView was available.
