[![Jitpack](https://jitpack.io/v/skydoves/ColorPickerPreference.svg)](https://jitpack.io/#skydoves/ColorPickerPreference)

#### Gradle
Add below codes to your **root** `build.gradle` file (not your module build.gradle file).
```gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
```
And add a dependency code to your **module**'s `build.gradle` file.
```gradle
dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.skydoves:colorpickerpreference:2.0.6"
}
```

## Usage
Add following XML namespace inside your XML layout file.

```gradle
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
```

### ColorPickerView in XML layout
We can use `ColorPickerView` without any customized attributes. 
This `ColorPickerView` will be initialized with the default HSV color palette and default selector.
```gradle
<com.skydoves.colorpickerview.ColorPickerView
 android:id="@+id/colorPickerView"
 android:layout_width="300dp"
 android:layout_height="300dp" />
```

### Attribute descriptions
We can customize the palette image and selector or various options using the below attributes.
```gradle
app:palette="@drawable/palette" // sets a custom palette image.
app:selector="@drawable/wheel" // sets a custom selector image.
app:selector_size="32dp" // sets a width & height size of the selector.
app:alpha_selector="0.8" // sets an alpha of thr selector.
app:alpha_flag="0.8" // sets an alpha of the flag.
app:actionMode="last" // sets action mode 'always' or 'last'.
app:preferenceName="MyColorPicker" // sets a preference name.
app:debounceDuration="200" // sets a debounce duration of the invoking color listener.
```

### ColorListener
`ColorListener` is invoked when tapped by a user or selected a position by a function.
```java
colorPickerView.setColorListener(new ColorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onColorSelected(int color, boolean fromUser) {
        LinearLayout linearLayout = findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
        linearLayout.setBackgroundColor(color);
    }
});
```

### ColorEnvelope
`ColorEnvelope` is a wrapper class of color models for providing more variety of color models. 
We can get HSV color value, Hex string code, ARGB value from the `ColorEnvelope`.
```java
colorEnvelope.getColor() // returns a integer color.
colorEnvelope.getHexCode() // returns a hex code string.
colorEnvelope.getArgb() // returns a argb integer array.
```

### ColorEnvelope Listener
`ColorEnvelopeListener` extends `ColorListener` and it provides `ColorEnvelope` as a parameter.
```java
colorPickerView.setColorListener(new ColorEnvelopeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onColorSelected(ColorEnvelope envelope, boolean fromUser) {
        linearLayout.setBackgroundColor(envelope.getColor());
        textView.setText("#" + envelope.getHexCode());
    }
});
```

### Palette
If we do not set any customized palette, the default palette drawable is the `ColorHsvPalette`. 
We can move and select a point on the palette using a specific color using the below methods.
```java
colorPickerView.selectByHsvColor(color);
colorPickerView.selectByHsvColorRes(R.color.colorPrimary);
```
We can change the default palette as a desired image drawable using the below method. 
But if we change the palette using another drawable, we can not use the `selectByHsvColor` method.
```java
colorPickerView.setPaletteDrawable(drawable);
```
If we want to change back to the default palette, we can change it using the below method.
```java
colorPickerView.setHsvPaletteDrawable();
```

### ActionMode
`ActionMode` is an option restrict to invoke the `ColorListener` by user actions.
```java
colorPickerView.setActionMode(ActionMode.LAST); // ColorListener will be invoked when the finger is released.
```

### Debounce
Only emits color values to the listener if a particular timespan has passed without it emitting using `debounceDuration` attribute.
We can set the `debounceDuration` on our xml layout file.
```xml
app:debounceDuration="150"  
```
Or we can set it programmatically.
```java
colorPickerView.setDebounceDuration(150);
```

### Create using builder
This is how to create `ColorPickerView`'s instance using `ColorPickerView.Builder` class.
```java
ColorPickerView colorPickerView = new ColorPickerView.Builder(context)
      .setColorListener(colorListener)
      .setPreferenceName("MyColorPicker");
      .setActionMode(ActionMode.LAST)
      .setAlphaSlideBar(alphaSlideBar)
      .setBrightnessSlideBar(brightnessSlideBar)
      .setFlagView(new CustomFlag(context, R.layout.layout_flag))
      .setPaletteDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.palette))
      .setSelectorDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.selector))
      .build();
```

### Restore and save
This is how to restore the state of `ColorPickerView`. 
`setPreferenceName()` method restores all of the saved states (selector, color) automatically.

```java
colorPickerView.setPreferenceName("MyColorPicker");
```

This is how to save the states of `ColorPickerView`. 
`setLifecycleOwner()` method saves all of the states automatically when the lifecycleOwner is destroy.
```java
colorPickerView.setLifecycleOwner(this);
```
Or we can save the states manually using the below method.
```java
ColorPickerPreferenceManager.getInstance(this).saveColorPickerData(colorPickerView);
```

### Manipulate and clear
We can manipulate and clear the saved states using `ColorPickerPreferenceManager`.
```java
ColorPickerPreferenceManager manager = ColorPickerPreferenceManager.getInstance(this);
manager.setColor("MyColorPicker", Color.RED); // manipulates the saved color data.
manager.setSelectorPosition("MyColorPicker", new Point(120, 120)); // manipulates the saved selector's position data.
manager.clearSavedAllData(); // clears all of the states.
manager.clearSavedColor("MyColorPicker"); // clears only saved color data. 
manager.restoreColorPickerData(colorPickerView); // restores the saved states manually.
```

### Palette from Gallery
Here is how to get a bitmap drawable from the gallery image and set it to the palette. 
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/52941911-313dc000-33ad-11e9-8264-6d78f4ad613a.jpg" align="left" width="35%">

Declare below permission on your `AndroidManifest.xml` file.
```gradle
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
```
The below codes will start the Gallery and we can choose the desired image.
```java
Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, REQUEST_CODE_GALLERY);
```
In the `onActivityResult`, we can get a bitmap drawable from the gallery and set it as the palette. And We can change the palette image of the `ColorPickerView` using the `setPaletteDrawable` method.
```java
try {
 final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
 final InputStream imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(imageUri);
 final Bitmap selectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
 Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), selectedImage);
 colorPickerView.setPaletteDrawable(drawable);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}
```

### ColorPickerPreference
ColorPickerPreference is used in PreferenceScreen and shows ColorPickerDialog if be clicked.
```xml
<com.skydoves.colorpickerpreference.ColorPickerPreference
 android:key="@string/ToolbarColorPickerPreference"
 android:title="Toolbar Color"
 android:summary="changes toolbar color"
 app:preference_attachAlphaSlideBar="false" // attach an alpha slide bar or not.
 app:preference_attachBrightnessSlideBar="true" // attach a brightness slide bar or not.
 app:preference_colorBox_radius="26dp" // radius of the color box. we can make it circular using this.
 app:preference_dialog_negative="@string/cancel" // string for closing the dialog.
 app:preference_dialog_positive="@string/confirm" // string for confirming the dialog.
 app:preference_dialog_title="Toolbar ColorPickerDialog" // title string to the dialog.
 app:preference_palette="@drawable/palettebar" // a palette drawable to the ColorPickerView.
 app:preference_selector="@drawable/wheel" // a selector drawable to the ColorPickerView.
```

#### customizing
If you want to customizing ColorPickerDialog in ColorPickerPreference, you could get ColorPickerDialog.Builder 
using `getColorPickerDialogBuilder()` method.
```java
ColorPickerPreference colorPickerPreference_toolbar = (ColorPickerPreference) findPreference(getActivity().getString(R.string.ToolbarColorPickerPreference));
ColorPickerDialog.Builder builder_toolbar = colorPickerPreference_toolbar.getColorPickerDialogBuilder();
builder_toolbar.setFlagView(new CustomFlag(getActivity(), R.layout.layout_flag));
```

## AlphaSlideBar
AlphaSlideBar changes the transparency of the selected color. 
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/90913596-6ea66200-e417-11ea-893a-467e93189c2b.gif" align="left" width="31%">

`AlphaSlideBar` in XML layout
```gradle
<com.skydoves.colorpickerview.sliders.AlphaSlideBar
 android:id="@+id/alphaSlideBar"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 app:selector_AlphaSlideBar="@drawable/wheel" // sets a customized selector drawable.
 app:borderColor_AlphaSlideBar="@android:color/darker_gray" // sets a color of the border.
 app:borderSize_AlphaSlideBar="5"/> // sets a size of the border.
```
We can attach and connect the `AlphaSlideBar` to our `ColorPickerView` using `attachAlphaSlider` method.

```java
AlphaSlideBar alphaSlideBar = findViewById(R.id.alphaSlideBar);
colorPickerView.attachAlphaSlider(alphaSlideBar);
```
We can make it vertically using the below attributes.
```gradle
android:layout_width="280dp" // width must set a specific width size.
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:rotation="90"
```

## BrightnessSlideBar
BrightnessSlideBar changes the brightness of the selected color. 
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/90913583-6c440800-e417-11ea-8645-c5f6d1bf97df.gif" align="left" width="31%">

`BrightnessSlideBar` in XML layout
```gradle
<com.skydoves.colorpickerview.sliders.BrightnessSlideBar
 android:id="@+id/brightnessSlide"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 app:selector_BrightnessSlider="@drawable/wheel" // sets a customized selector drawable.
 app:borderColor_BrightnessSlider="@android:color/darker_gray" // sets a color of the border.
 app:borderSize_BrightnessSlider="5"/> // sets a size of the border.
```
We can attach and connect the `BrightnessSlideBar` to our `ColorPickerView` using `attachBrightnessSlider` method.

```java
BrightnessSlideBar brightnessSlideBar = findViewById(R.id.brightnessSlide);
colorPickerView.attachBrightnessSlider(brightnessSlideBar);
```
We can make it vertically using the below attributes.
```gradle
android:layout_width="280dp" // width must set a specific width size.
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:rotation="90"
```

## ColorPickerDialog
![dialog0](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/45362890-0d619b80-b611-11e8-857b-e12f82978b53.jpg) 
![dialog1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/45362892-0d619b80-b611-11e8-9cc5-25518a9d392a.jpg)

`ColorPickerDialog` can be used just like an AlertDialog and it provides colors by tapping from any drawable.

```java
new ColorPickerDialog.Builder(this)
      .setTitle("ColorPicker Dialog")
      .setPreferenceName("MyColorPickerDialog")
      .setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.confirm),
          new ColorEnvelopeListener() {
              @Override
              public void onColorSelected(ColorEnvelope envelope, boolean fromUser) {
                  setLayoutColor(envelope);
              }
          })
       .setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.cancel),
          new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
              @Override
              public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                  dialogInterface.dismiss();
              }
           })
      .attachAlphaSlideBar(true) // the default value is true.
      .attachBrightnessSlideBar(true)  // the default value is true.
      .setBottomSpace(12) // set a bottom space between the last slidebar and buttons.
      .show();
```

we can get an instance of `ColorPickerView` from the `ColorPickerView.Builder` and we can customize it. 
```java
ColorPickerView colorPickerView = builder.getColorPickerView();
colorPickerView.setFlagView(new CustomFlag(this, R.layout.layout_flag)); // sets a custom flagView
builder.show(); // shows the dialog
```

## FlagView
We can implement showing a `FlagView` above and below on the selector. 
This library provides `BubbleFlagView` by default as we can see the [previews](https://github.com/skydoves/ColorPickerView#colorpickerview). 
Here is the example code for implementing it.

```java
BubbleFlag bubbleFlag = new BubbleFlag(this);
bubbleFlag.setFlagMode(FlagMode.FADE);
colorPickerView.setFlagView(bubbleFlag);
```

We can also fully customize the `FlagView` like below. 
![flag0](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/45364191-75fe4780-b614-11e8-81a5-04690a4392db.jpg) 
![flag1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/45364194-75fe4780-b614-11e8-844c-136d14c91560.jpg)

First, We need a customized layout like below.
```gradle
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="100dp"
 android:layout_height="40dp"
 android:background="@drawable/flag"
 android:orientation="horizontal">

<TextView
 android:id="@+id/flag_color_code"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_marginTop="6dp"
 android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
 android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
 android:textSize="14dp"
 android:textColor="@android:color/white"
 android:maxLines="1"
 android:ellipsize="end"
 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
 tools:text="#ffffff"/>
</LinearLayout>
```

Second, we need to create a class that extends `FlagView`. Here is an example code.
```java
public class CustomFlag extends FlagView {

private TextView textView;
    private AlphaTileView alphaTileView;

public CustomFlag(Context context, int layout) {
        super(context, layout);
        textView = findViewById(R.id.flag_color_code);
        alphaTileView = findViewById(R.id.flag_color_layout);
    }

@Override
    public void onRefresh(ColorEnvelope colorEnvelope) {
        textView.setText("#" + colorEnvelope.getHexCode());
        alphaTileView.setPaintColor(colorEnvelope.getColor());
    }
}
```

And last, set the `FlagView` to the `ColorPickerView` using the `setFlagView` method.

```java
colorPickerView.setFlagView(new CustomFlag(this, R.layout.layout_flag));
```

### FlagMode
`FlagMode` is an option to decides the visibility action of the `FlagView`.
```java
colorPickerView.setFlagMode(FlagMode.ALWAYS); // showing always by tapping and dragging.
colorPickerView.setFlagMode(FlagMode.LAST); // showing only when finger released.
```

## AlphaTileView
![alphatileview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24237865/45364416-09377d00-b615-11e8-9707-b83f55053480.jpg) 
`AlphaTileView` visualizes ARGB colors over the view. 
If we need to represent ARGB colors on the general view, it will not be showing accurately. Because a color will be mixed with the parent view's background color. so if we need to represent ARGB colors accurately, we can use the `AlphaTileView`.

```gradle
<com.skydoves.colorpickerview.AlphaTileView
 android:id="@+id/alphaTileView"
 android:layout_width="55dp"
 android:layout_height="55dp"
 app:tileSize="20" // the size of the repeating tile
 app:tileEvenColor="@color/tile_even" // the color of even tiles
 app:tileOddColor="@color/tile_odd"/> // the color of odd tiles
```
