Gradle:
implementation 'com.raed.drawingview:drawingview:1.3.0'
Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.raed.drawingview</groupId>
<artifactId>drawingview</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
Add the following to your layout file:
<com.raed.drawingview.DrawingView
android:id="@+id/drawing_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:brush="pencil"
app:brush_size="1"
app:brush_color="#2187bb"
app:drawing_background_color="#dddddd"
/>
brush_size value should be between 0 and 1, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
You can use the BrushSettings to:
- Change the brush size
- Change the brush color
- Change the selected brush
//Obtain BrushSettings from your DrawingView
BrushSettings brushSettings = mDrawingView.getBrushSettings();
//Change the selected brush
brushSettings.setSelectedBrush(Brushes.PENCIL);
//Set the size for the pencil, pass a value between 0 and 1
brushSettings.setSelectedBrushSize(0.3f);
//Change the color for all brushes
brushSettings.setColor(0xFF000000);
Undo and redo are disabled by default. You can enable them by calling:
mDrawingView.setUndoAndRedoEnable(true);
And here is an example of a complete implementation:
mDrawingView.setUndoAndRedoEnable(true);
mUndoButton.setOnClickListener(view -> {
mDrawingView.undo();
mUndoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isUndoStackEmpty());
mRedoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isRedoStackEmpty());
});
mRedoButton.setOnClickListener(view -> {
mDrawingView.redo();
mUndoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isUndoStackEmpty());
mRedoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isRedoStackEmpty());
});
//Whenever the user draw somthing this method will be invoked.
mDrawingView.setOnDrawListener(view -> {
mUndoButton.setEnabled(true);
mRedoButton.setEnabled(false);
});
And remember to update your undo button when you call clear() or setBackgroundImage():
mDrawingView.setBackgroundImage(bitmap);
mUndoButton.setEnable(false);
mRedoButton.setEnable(false);
mDrawingView.clear();
mUndoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isUndoStackEmpty());
mRedoButton.setEnabled(!mDrawingView.isRedoStackEmpty());
You can draw on top of an image by calling the following method, but please remember that calling this method clears any previous drawing:
Bitmap photo = ...
mDrawingView.setBackgroundImage(photo);
If the image is larger than the view it will be scaled down.
In most casses you want to use this method to get your drawing:
Bitmap bitmap = mDrawingView.exportDrawing();
But if you are only intersted in the drawing without the background color and image you can use:
Bitmap bitmap = mDrawingView.exportDrawingWithoutBackground();
When the DrawingView is in the Zoom Mode it does not draw anything, touch events are used to zoom and move the drawing. The following code shows you how to enter and exit the Zoom Mode
zoomModeButton.setOnClickListener(v -> {
if (mDrawingView.isInZoomMode()) {
mDrawingView.exitZoomMode();
zoomModeButton.setText(R.string.enter_zoom_mode);
}else{
mDrawingView.enterZoomMode();
zoomModeButton.setText(R.string.exit_zoom_mode);
}
});
You can use the BrushView to show a preview of the selected brush. Add the following to your layout file:
<com.raed.drawingview.BrushView
android:id="@+id/brush_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"/>
And in your java code:
mBrushView.setDrawingView(mDrawingView);
You can control the min and max size of a brush. For example:
DrawingView drawingView = findViewById(R.id.drawing_view);
BrushSettings brushSettings = drawingView.getBrushSettings();
brushSettings.setBrushMinAndMaxSizeInPixel(
Brushes.PENCIL, //brush ID
50, //min size
100 //max size
);
//the size will be -> 50 + 0.5 * (100 - 50) = 75 pixel
brushSettings.setBrushSize(Brushes.PENCIL, 0.5f);
