Actual Number Picker

What is this?

Actual Number Picker is an Android custom-built View for choosing numbers. It's simple, elegant, fits in a small-height constraint box and it can be completely customized in XML. You can easily swipe it right and left, or click on arrow controls to increase/decrease the current value.

Requirements

  • Android 3.0 or later (Minimum SDK level 11)
  • Android Studio (to compile and use)
  • Eclipse is not supported

Getting Started

  1. Download Android Studio
  2. Launch Android Studio
  3. Start your new project
  4. Open your project's main Gradle file, in root directory (/build.gradle)
  5. Make sure you are using jcenter() in the repository block (mavenCentral() should work too)
  6. Open your app module Gradle file, for example /app/build.gradle
  7. In dependencies block, add the following line: compile 'me.angrybyte.picker:picker:1.3.1'
  8. Click Tools/Android/Sync Project with Gradle Files or click on the Sync icon in the top toolbar
  9. Click Run/Run 'app' to see if it's resolved correctly

This will run the app on your device. You may need to download a newer version of Gradle, which will be available in the Android Studio UI if compile fails.

Sample usage

First, define the View in your layout file (of course, you don't need to add all the app attributes, I just added them for demo).

<me.angrybyte.numberpicker.view.ActualNumberPicker
    android:id="@+id/actual_picker"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="48dp"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
    android:background="#FFFF3040"
    app:bar_color="@android:color/white"
    app:bar_width="1dp"
    app:bars_count="26"
    app:controls_color="@android:color/white"
    app:draw_over_controls="true"
    app:draw_over_text="false"
    app:fast_controls_color="@android:color/darker_gray"
    app:highlight_color="#FFFF3040"
    app:max_value="100"
    app:min_value="0"
    app:selection_color="#A0FF3040"
    app:show_bars="true"
    app:show_controls="true"
    app:show_fast_controls="true"
    app:show_highlight="true"
    app:show_text="false"
    app:text_color="@android:color/white"
    app:text_size="16sp"
    app:value="50" />

Then, from Java (your Activity or Fragment), you can easily get the view and attach the listener.

public class DemoActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnValueChangeListener {

    private static final String TAG = DemoActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    private ActualNumberPicker mPicker;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_demo);
        mPicker = (ActualNumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.actual_picker);
        mPicker.setListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onValueChanged(int oldValue, int newValue) {
        float percent = (float) newValue / (float) (mPicker.getMaxValue() - mPicker.getMinValue());
        Log.d(TAG, "Currently the picker is at " + percent + " percent.");
    }

}

Note: onValueChanged() event will always get fired on the UI thread.
