SheetMusicView

This is a simple library to help incorporate sheet music quickly into your android application. It is compatible with all API versions 8 and higher.

Example

The following picture shows SheetMusicView in action:

Usage

Currently, the fastest way to include the view into your project is to include it into one of your layout XML files. The MusicBarView represents the seven lines that make up an empty music bar, and every single note that you want to insert into this bar is called a NoteView. Make sure to include every NoteView nested inside of a MusicBarView. An example of this can be seen by the following code snippet:

<com.nitishp.sheetmusic.MusicBarView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/view">
    <com.nitishp.sheetmusic.NoteView
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		app:noteValue="LOWER_B"
		app:noteDuration="HALF"/>
	<com.nitishp.sheetmusic.NoteView
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		app:noteValue="LOWER_C"
		app:noteDuration="HALF"/>
	<com.nitishp.sheetmusic.NoteView
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		app:noteValue="HIGHER_E"
		app:noteDuration="FOURTH"/>
	<com.nitishp.sheetmusic.NoteView
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		app:noteValue="HIGHER_B"
		app:noteDuration="FOURTH"/>
	<com.nitishp.sheetmusic.NoteView
		android:layout_width="wrap_content"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		app:noteValue="HIGHER_C"
		app:noteDuration="FOURTH"/>
</com.nitishp.sheetmusic.MusicBarView>

Contributing

This is a library that I hope to grow into something that is in a lot better of a state than it is currently in. Some of the features that I hope to add include:

The ability to drag and drop notes into the view.
Making the view look more like a bar and possibly include treble and clef symbols.
Add easier support dynamically for changing the value of a note in code
Any other feature that you think would be useful for any user in the future!

This is also the first Android library that I have ever written. If you find some style mistakes or other inefficiencies, please feel free to make a pull request or inform me on how I can make this library better!
