I have been trying to create a view for showing graph using cairo. This view is supposed to get created when a button is clicked. So I added the following code

in a function and called it from the button's callback function.

Eina_Bool view_history_create(void *data)
{
    Evas_Object *nf = (Evas_Object *)data;
    // nf is pointer to parent naviframe container

    appdata_s *ad = {0,};

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Creating evas_object_image.");
    ad->img = evas_object_image_filled_add(evas_object_evas_get(nf));

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Showing image.");
    evas_object_show(ad->img);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling evas_object_geometry_get...");
    evas_object_geometry_get(nf, NULL, NULL, &ad->width, &ad->height);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_image_surface_create...");
    ad->surface = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, ad->width, ad->height);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_create...");
    ad->cairo = cairo_create(ad->surface);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_drawing...");
    cairo_drawing(ad);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling elm_naviframe_item_push...");
    elm_naviframe_item_push(nf, "History", NULL, NULL, ad->img, NULL);

    dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Returning...");
    return EINA_TRUE;
}

With the log, I found that the app crashes after calling the function evas_object_image_filled_add. So, I want to know what am I doing wrong here? What can I do to fix this?

Hello, I'm not sure what is wrong with your function, however you should see this sample applicaiton for an example of using cairo with EFL.

Thanks, I followed your advice and was able to work out what I needed to do. It seems that evas_object_image_filled_add does not work as I thought it did. I had to instead use evas_object_image_add function and manually set image size and fill size using evas_object_image_size_set, evas_object_image_fill_set functions.

Finally, I was able to work out the solution from your answer. So, I am selecting it as answer.

Hi Asiful

The following line of your code is the reason of program crash

appdata_s *ad = {0,};

You wrote "ad->img", but currently above "ad" pointer points to an empty value. So instead of an empty pointer assign a valid
value in "ad" pointer which is your function parameter. So change the above line to

appdata_s *ad = data;

Now your code will execute after evas_object_image_filled_add function.

Hope it will help you.

Thank you for your helpful reply. From your reply, I was able to understand that I was actually initializing a pointer to appdata_s struct, which was not actually pointing to anything. So, I fixed it like this.

Eina_Bool view_history_create(void *data)
{
        Evas_Object *nf = (Evas_Object *)data;
	appdata_s ad;

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Creating evas_object_image.");
	ad.img = evas_object_image_filled_add(evas_object_evas_get(nf));

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Showing image.");
	evas_object_show(ad.img);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling evas_object_geometry_get...");
	evas_object_geometry_get(nf, NULL, NULL, &ad.width, &ad.height);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_image_surface_create...");
	ad.surface = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, ad.width, ad.height);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_create...");
	ad.cairo = cairo_create(ad.surface);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling cairo_drawing...");
	cairo_drawing(&ad);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Calling elm_naviframe_item_push...");
	elm_naviframe_item_push(nf, "History", NULL, NULL, ad.img, NULL);

	dlog_print(DLOG_ERROR, LOG_TAG, "Returning...");
	return EINA_TRUE;
}

Now there is a new problem. The app does not crash anymore, but I am not getting desired output. I am getting a new view with title set as History, but there is no cairo drawing. It is just a transparent view with title over the view which contains the clicked button. Why is this happening? How may I solve it?
