Edit Question
Title
Body
Im trying to find out the angle (in degrees) between two 2D vectors. I know I need to use trig but I'm not too good with it. This is what I'm trying to work out (the Y axis increases downward): I'm trying to use this code at the moment, but it's not working at all (calculates random angles for some reason): private float calcAngle(float x, float y, float x1, float y1) { float _angle = (float)Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(Math.abs(x1-x), Math.abs(y1-y))); Log.d("Angle","Angle: "+_angle+" x: "+x+" y: "+y+" x1: "+x1+" y1: "+y1); return _angle; } These are my results (There constant when providing a constant position, but when I change the position, the angle changes and I can't find any link between the two angles): Position 1: x:100 y:100 x1:50 y1:50 Angle: 45 Position 2: x:92 y:85 x1:24 y1:16 Angle: 44.58 Position 3: x:44 y: 16 x1:106 y1:132 Angle: 28.12 Edit: Thanks everyone who answered and helped me figure out that was wrong! Sorry the title and the question was confusing.
