Android：Canvas Arc，可以扫描渐变起始角度吗？

Question

I am attempting to draw a arc that is filled by a gradient

The image below is what I want

The image below is what I have now

As you can see in the images, my gradient starts too earlier

I know why this happening

If I complete the arc to form a circle I get this

As we can see, the gradient starts from 90 degrees. But my arc is drawn from 135 degrees and sweeps to 270

My question is how can get the gradient to start from 135 degrees and sweep to 270? Is it possible

This is my method so far of doing the sweep gradient

  public void setProgressColourAsGradient(boolean invalidateNow) {
        SweepGradient sweepGradient = new SweepGradient(baseArcRect.centerX(), baseArcRect.centerY(),progressGradientColourStart,progressGradientColourEnd);
        //Make the gradient start from 90 degrees
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.setRotate(90,baseArcRect.centerX(), baseArcRect.centerY());
        sweepGradient.setLocalMatrix(matrix);

        progressFillPaint.setShader(sweepGradient);
        if (invalidateNow) {
            invalidate();
        }
    }

I cannot find any API to tell SweepGradient where to actually start.

I have added all code to the appendix section

Thanks for reading!

I tried setting the rotation to happen at 135 degrees

Appendix A ArcWithGradient View

        //We do not want a colour for this because we will set a gradient
        progressFillPaint = CanvasUtil.makeStrokePaint(UiUtils.dpToPx(getContext(), 25), -1);
        baseArcRect = new RectF(0, 0, 0, 0);

As mentioned in the comments by @pskink you need to use the SweepGradient constructor that takes a list of colors and a list of positions. The positions argument is an array of floats that indicate the percentage of 360 degrees where the color should begin.

In my example I'm rotating the canvas 115 degrees and then drawing a sweep angle of 310 degrees for my arch. The first color begins at an angle of 0 (because the canvas has been rotated), and the gradient reaches the second color at an angle of 310 degrees so it matches the sweep angle of the arch. The outer ring shows that the blue color continues all the way to 360 degrees, but the blue color begins at 310 degrees.

class SweepGradientView @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0
): View(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {


    private val archPaint = Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG).apply {
        style = Paint.Style.STROKE
        strokeWidth = 32 * context.resources.displayMetrics.density
    }

    private val archBounds = RectF()
    private val archInset = 72 * context.resources.displayMetrics.density

    private val gradientColors = intArrayOf(Color.MAGENTA, Color.BLUE)
    private val gradientPositions = floatArrayOf(0/360f, 310/360f)

    override fun onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec: Int, heightMeasureSpec: Int) {
        val width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec)
        val height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec)
        val size = Math.min(width, height)
        setMeasuredDimension(size, size)
    }

    override fun onSizeChanged(w: Int, h: Int, oldw: Int, oldh: Int) {
        super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh)
        archPaint.shader = SweepGradient(width / 2f, height / 2f, gradientColors, gradientPositions)
        archBounds.set(archInset, archInset, width.toFloat() - archInset, height.toFloat() - archInset)
    }

    override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas)

        val cx = width / 2f
        val cy = height / 2f

        canvas.save()
        canvas.rotate(115f, cx, cy)
        canvas.drawArc(archBounds, 0f, 310f, false, archPaint)
        canvas.drawCircle(cx, cy, width / 2.2f, archPaint)
        canvas.restore()
    }

}
