libgdx - ClickListener not affected by actor scale? - libgdx

Question

Here's a constructor for a card class I was making. When I create one that is scaled and click on it, only clicks within the 1.0x scaled area are actually registered. i.e. if I pass in 1.5 for the scale, clicks on the borders don't work. Why not? I've scaled the actor itself.
public Card(float x, float y, float scale)
{
this.setPosition(x, y);
faceSprite = new Sprite(MyResources.getInstance().cardTextureRegion);
faceSprite.setPosition(x, y);
faceSprite.setScale(scale);
borderSprite = new Sprite(MyResources.getInstance().cardBorderTextureRegion);
borderSprite.setPosition(x, y);
borderSprite.setScale(scale);
// Set boundaries for ourselves (the actor). Note that we have to match the scale of the sprites.
setSize(borderSprite.getWidth(), borderSprite.getHeight());
setScale(scale);
// Add ClickListener
final Card thisCard = this;
addListener(new ClickListener() {
public void clicked(InputEvent event, float x, float y) {
((MyStage)(thisCard.getStage())).cardClicked(thisCard);
}
});
}

Answer 1

Basic Actor class might be missing some functionalities, including proper scale handling. If all you want is displaying some images (judging by the Sprite objects you use), I'd suggest using the existing classes rather than making custom actors - especially since you might have trouble rendering Sprites with exact Actor parameters if you use a lot of custom actions.
Image allows you to display "sprites" - although somewhat simplified, it should be enough. To store the images, you can use a Table (more flexible) or a Stack (will work with multiple images of the same size).
If you really want to stick with the custom actor approach, try this instead of changing the scale:
setSize(borderSprite.getWidth() * scale, borderSprite.getHeight() * scale);
If you don't change Card scale manually in runtime (only set it up during creation), it should just work.

You Can use image Class to display Images.
Texture texture=new Texture("test.jpg");
Image image=new Image(texture);
//you can use setsize() or setBounds() as per your requirement.
image.setScale(scale);
image.addListener(new ClickListener(){
#Override
public void clicked(InputEvent event, float x, float y) {
((MyStage)(thisCard.getStage())).cardClicked(event.getTarget());
}
});
