Yet another open source color picker for Android. So, why should you use this color picker? It is highly customizable and easy to use. You can simply add the ColorPreference to your preferences and a beautiful color picker dialog will be displayed without additional code. The color picker supports alpha and allows you to set your own presets.
The original ColorPickerView was written by Daniel Nilsson.
Add the ColorPreference to your preference XML:
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<PreferenceCategory>
<com.jaredrummler.android.colorpicker.ColorPreference
android:defaultValue="@color/color_default"
android:key="default_color"
android:summary="@string/color_default_summary"
android:title="@string/color_default_title"/>
...
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>Note: Using AndroidX's PreferenceFragmentCompat? Then use com.jaredrummler.android.colorpicker.ColorPreferenceCompat
You can add attributes to customize the ColorPreference:
| name | type | documentation |
|---|---|---|
| cpv_dialogType | enum | "custom" to show the color picker, "preset" to show pre-defined colors |
| cpv_showAlphaSlider | boolean | Show a slider for changing the alpha of a color (adding transparency) |
| cpv_colorShape | enum | "square" or "circle" for the shape of the color preview |
| cpv_colorPresets | reference | An int-array of pre-defined colors to show in the dialog |
| cpv_dialogTitle | reference | The string resource id for the dialog title. By default the title is "Select a Color" |
| cpv_dialogPresetsActionText | reference | The string resource id for the dialog button that has "Presets" by default |
| cpv_dialogSelectActionText | reference | The string resource id for the dialog button that has "Select" by default |
| cpv_dialogCustomActionText | reference | The string resource id for the dialog button that has "Custom" by default |
| cpv_dialogTransparencyActionText | reference | The string resource id for the dialog button that has "Transparency" by default |
| cpv_showColorShades | boolean | true to show different shades of the selected color |
| cpv_allowPresets | boolean | true to add a button to toggle to the custom color picker |
| cpv_allowCustom | boolean | true to add a button to toggle to the presets color picker |
| cpv_showDialog | boolean | true to let the ColorPreference handle showing the dialog |
You can also show a ColorPickerDialog without using the ColorPreference:
ColorPickerDialog.newBuilder().setColor(color).show(activity);All the attributes above can also be applied to the ColorPickerDialog. The activity that shows the dialog must
implement ColorPickerDialogListener to get a callback when a color is selected.
