Very nice indeed @DonManfred,
I've played about with your library and I've managed to create this little working example. I've just added a few labels and a couple of panels and hey presto, I hope that users like it. Anyway I've attached the source to this post, hopefully B4A developers will find this library useful

Resources folder has now been added to Color Picker.zip file

Please note:
Some of the code in my example (like the labels) are not actually necessary, they are just there for because, because, because hmm

Enjoy...

I have been playing with this lib for hours and can not get past the compiling when i do

dim cp as colorpicker
cp.initialize("")

I get android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0 when it executes

Anyone??

 

[DonManfred]

Anyone??

Try this Example please

 

[tmf]

Thanks man! (or lady)

I was missing #AdditionalRes: ..\Resources and the actual \Resources directory, its not in the first ZIP I downloaded....

 

[DonManfred]

Thanks man! (or lady)

>Regards Manfred

I dont know any Lady with name Manfred ;-)

I was missing #AdditionalRes: ..\Resources and the actual \Resources directory, its not in the first ZIP I downloaded....

I saw that Peter has forgotten to add the Resources for this Project to his Example.
That´s the reason i uploaded my original Example. But it is not as nice to view like Peters Example

I can see this picker going in many directions, would be nice to be nice halo, just a full circle.... at least for me, and it would be nice to pass the old color to the picker and have it position to that.... so far so good!

 

[DonManfred]

at least for me, and it would be nice to pass the old color to the picker and have it position to that

In the next release you will be able to set the "starting color" with

cp.Color = Colors.Red

 

[tmf]

I will wait need.... also everytime the colorpicker is shown the old last color position on halo is shown, can not get it to start fresh.....

R.

 

[DonManfred]

I will wait need

I have updated Post #1 and added download for v1.0.4

also everytime the colorpicker is shown the old last color position on halo is shown, can not get it to start fresh

i´m not sure if i understand correctly. Can you plese describe more detailed?

 

[DonManfred]

    cp.Color = Colors.Red
    cp.NewCenterColor = Colors.Red
    cp.OldCenterColor = Colors.Red

 

[tmf]

cool!

I was going cp.initialize("cp") multiple times and it was basically leaving the last position of the "knob" so each time the colorpicker become visible it had more and more knobs, which only one moved

 

[tmf]

1.0.4 works so far! would be nice to have control on the line thickness of the halo and maybe the diameter of the "knob"

Question:

You have a function the gets the ARGB, it seems to be working with colors.argb() where do you need to break them out into the array?

Richard.

 

[DonManfred]

where do you need to break them out into the array?

If you need the ARGB values instead of just a color int then you can use this sub to get the ARGB values from the int value

Sub GetARGB(Color As Int) As Int()
    Dim res(4) As Int
    res(0) = Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(Bit.And(Color, 0xff000000), 24)
    res(1) = Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(Bit.And(Color, 0xff0000), 16)
    res(2) = Bit.UnsignedShiftRight(Bit.And(Color, 0xff00), 8)
    res(3) = Bit.And(Color, 0xff)
    Return res
End Sub

@DonManfred
Nice one Man!

 

[Peter Simpson]

I finally upgraded my 'Tix Clock' widget color picker and it's looking good.

Thank you @DonManfred for this great library...

Hello Manfred,

this really looks neat, thanks for this wrapper!
I found your view while I was looking for a view for controlling RGB-LEDs on a remote Arduino.
However I noticed a little bug in it that is fatal for my intent of usage.
The setting of the value bar is not taken into aspect when changing the color in the color picker.
All the other bars are considered, but not the value bar.

I'd like to use the value bar for dimming the RGB-LEDs which works fine, but as soon as I change the color they are set to full brightness.
Dont know if this is a mistake in your wrapper or in the Github project, but a fix would be very appreciated.

regards Markus

Hi @KnipsFips,

Would be great to see the example you have created for dimming RGB LED's any chance of sharing.

Big thanks

Dans

hi,
thanks for the lib !
Any help how to preset the sat, opacity... sliders?
