Thanks for your effort.
Do you have the code uploaded to a repository in Github?

How do I save it as an image, for example?

[@DroidScripter]

To save the draw you need two functions:
One to convert lines to bitmap
fun linesToBitmap(lines: List, width: Int, height: Int): Bitmap {
val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
val canvas = android.graphics.Canvas(bitmap)
val paint = Paint()
Log.d("Lines", lines.toString())
// Set the background color (optional)
canvas.drawColor(0xFFFFFFFF.toInt())
// Set the line color and style
paint.strokeWidth = 5f
paint.color = Color(0x00FFFFFF).toArgb()
paint.style = Paint.Style.STROKE
val path = Path()
// Draw each line on the canvas
for (line in lines) {
val paint = Paint().apply {
style = Paint.Style.STROKE
strokeWidth = line.strokeWidth
color = line.color.toArgb()
}
path.reset() // Reset the path for each line
path.moveTo(line.start.x, line.start.y)
path.lineTo(line.end.x, line.end.y)
// Draw the path on the canvas using the specified paint
canvas.drawPath(path, paint)
}
return bitmap
}
and one to save the generated bitmap
suspend fun saveDrawing(bitmap: Bitmap) {
withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
val directory = File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "Drawings")
if (!directory.exists()) {
directory.mkdirs()
}
val fileName = "drawing_${System.currentTimeMillis()}.png"
val file = File(directory, fileName)
try {
val fileOutputStream = FileOutputStream(file)
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fileOutputStream)
fileOutputStream.close()
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
}
