Android Question Is there a way to extract points from a path?

[NeoTechni]

I use some really complex code to generate a path, and I don't want to have to copy/paste/modify it to get the points in a different format (for collision detection)

How are you adding the points to the path? Where do they come from?

 

[NeoTechni]

About two pages of code that I'd rather.not duplicate. It'd be possible to alter it if we had optional parameters, but otherwise its too big as it is.

 

[Erel]

I don't see how it is related to optional parameters.

Are the points set inside your code?

The code takes a canvas as it draws directly to it, is about 2 pages long. To alter the code to get the points would require optional parameters so that I could pass in a list, and ignore the canvas. Otherwise I have to pass in an empty list every time I don't need the points, and an empty canvas when I do. And that's too messy. I'd like a way to get the points from the path it makes, without modifying that code, or copy/pasting 2 pages of code and making a different version of it.
