hi,

for a project i'm working on i created small (~230 lines of java code) color picker dialog.

if you are newbie to Drawables you will learn (i hope so) how to create custom (and animated!!!) Drawables and how to use LayerDrawable

any comments, as always, welcome

hi,

i was thinking about adding alpha channel selector, but have no idea how to display result color...

any ideas?

Your dialog looks great. One idea for showing the alpha is to cut your color output display in half. On the top half show a fully opaque output of the color like you are currently doing, but on the bottom half draw the color with alpha over a colorful logo or perhaps country flag, so that users can see the effect of the alpha.

good idea, i'll try to make it customizable in dialog's ctor

stay tuned...

thanks

ok, done that.

now one can select color with/without alpha channel

in attached archive i left .apk in bin folder so you can run it without eclipse build

thanks

That's great !

hi,

improved animation smoothness quite much, using custom Animation class

as before, attached tar.gz contains .apk in bin folder so you can run it out-of-the-box

thanks

hi,

as i don't have access to real device, could anyone test it on their phone?

please get .apk from my recent submission post i.e.:

thanks

So, I guess nobody has tested this for you?

I have, and it works fine. Although I'm not sure of your icon choices for the alpha channel test. I'm pretty sure the standard for adjusting transparency is to have half of the picture display that checkered pattern everybody uses.

Sort of like what's seen in this link. I think if you filled the entire bottom box with that graphic it would be perfect.

Anyway, as it is... Would it be all right if I used it in my application?

thanks for trying it on real device
about the icon for alpha channel: its configurable from Dialog's constructor so you can put any icon you want

and yes, you can do everything you want with that code :)

very cool!

Awesome dude.... what im looking for... thx alot.
