Convert Rect to RectF

Question

Whats the best way to convert a Rect variable to a RectF one? I am unable to cast it.

RectF rect = (RectF) currentRect; //produces an error

Answer 1

RectF rect = new RectF(currentRect);

Answer 2

As "new" shouldn't be done in onDraw,

// As class fields,
Rect rect = new Rect();
RectF rectF = new RectF();

...
onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    ...
    rectF.set(rect);
    ...
}
