layering views in android
<p>I am trying to make a a color wheel with pie shaped pieces, wherein each piece of the pie is a button. Here is the code for two of the slices. Currently, the second slice is covering up the first slice with a white background. Is my goal possible? </p>

<pre><code>    ShapeDrawable slice1 = new ShapeDrawable(new ArcShape(0, 30));
    slice1.setIntrinsicHeight(100);     
    slice1.setIntrinsicWidth(100);     
    slice1.getPaint().setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
    View slice1View = (View) findViewById(R.id.slice1);
    slice1View.setBackgroundDrawable(slice1);
    slice1View.setOnClickListener(magentaButtonListener);

    ShapeDrawable slice2 = new ShapeDrawable(new ArcShape(30, 60));
    slice2.setIntrinsicHeight(100);
    slice2.setIntrinsicWidth(100);
    slice2.getPaint().setColor(Color.BLUE);
    View slice2View = (View) findViewById(R.id.slice2);
    slice1View.setBackgroundDrawable(slice2);
    slice1View.setOnClickListener(blueButtonListener);
</code></pre>

<p>the layout code is:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:id="@+id/pie" &gt;


    &lt;View
    android:id="@+id/slice1" 
    android:layout_width="40dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"/&gt;
    &lt;View
    android:id="@+id/slice2" 
    android:layout_width="40dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"/&gt;

    &lt;/FrameLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Edit! The solution:</strong> 
I set my x and y coordinates to half of the diameter of my circle. Then: I used the getAngle method to calculate the angle, which will decide what color was clicked. </p>

<pre><code>//from StackOverflow post by Dave Discoid, at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2676719/calculating-the-angle-between-the-line-defined-by-two-points

    public double getAngle(float x, float y )
    {
        double dx = x - DIAMETER/2;
        // Minus to correct for coord re-mapping
        double dy = -(y - DIAMETER/2);

        double inRads = Math.atan2(dy,dx);

        // We need to map to coord system when 0 degree is at 3 O'clock, 270 at 12 O'clock
        if (inRads &lt; 0)
            inRads = Math.abs(inRads);
        else
            inRads = 2*Math.PI - inRads;

        return Math.toDegrees(inRads);
    }
</code></pre>
