Features

  • Bézier implementation for a smoother line
  • Variable point size based on velocity
  • Customizable pen color and size

##Installation

Latest version of the library can be found on Maven Central.

For Gradle users

Open your build.gradle and make sure that Maven Central repository is declared into repositories section:

   repositories {
       mavenCentral()
   }

Then, include the library as dependency:

compile 'com.github.gcacace:signature-pad:1.0.3'

For Maven users

Add this dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.gcacace</groupId>
  <artifactId>signature-pad</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.3</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

##Usage

Please see the /SignaturePad-Example app for a more detailed code example of how to use the library.

  1. Add the SignaturePad view to the layout you want to show. 
    

    2. 



<com.github.gcacace.signaturepad.views.SignaturePad
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/signature_pad"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:penColor="@android:color/black"
/>
```
2. Configure attributes.


    

  • minWidth - The minimum width of the stroke (default: 3dp).
    • 

  • maxWidth - The maximum width of the stroke (default: 7dp).
    • 

  • penColor - The color of the stroke (default: Color.BLACK).
    • 

  • velocityFilterWeight - Weight used to modify new velocity based on the previous velocity (default: 0.9).
    • 



    

  1. Configure signature events listener
    2. 



An OnSignedListener can be set on the view:


mSignaturePad = (SignaturePad) findViewById(R.id.signature_pad);
mSignaturePad.setOnSignedListener(new SignaturePad.OnSignedListener() {
   @Override
   public void onSigned() {
       //Event triggered when the pad is signed
   }

   @Override
   public void onClear() {
       //Event triggered when the pad is cleared
   }
});


    

  1. Get signature Bitmap
    2. 



    

  • getSignatureBitmap() - A signature bitmap with a white background.
    • 

  • getTransparentSignatureBitmap() - A signature bitmap with a transparent background.
    •
