Elevate User Interaction with SimpleNumberPicker Library

SimpleNumberPicker simplifies numerical input in Android applications, offering a customizable, user-friendly interface for value selection.

In the vast realm of Android development, user interaction is a cornerstone for creating intuitive and enjoyable applications. The open-source project SimpleNumberPicker, brought to life by Stefan Haustein, is a splendid manifestation of such endeavors. Harnessing the power of Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, this library introduces a simplistic yet effective numerical selection functionality to Android applications.

Below are the highlights of the SimpleNumberPicker library:

  1. Range Configuration: Set the numerical range to fit the application's needs.
  2. Step Increment: Adjust the step increments to control the pace of value changes.
  3. Min and Max Value Setting: Define the boundaries with minimum and maximum value settings.
  4. Value Change Callback: Trigger actions with the value change callback, enhancing interactive feedback.

Kickstarting with SimpleNumberPicker is a straightforward task. Include the following dependency in your Android project:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.stefanhaustein:simplenumberpicker:1.2.0'
}

The snippet below demonstrates the ease of implementing SimpleNumberPicker:

// Instantiate the number picker
val numberPicker = SimpleNumberPicker(requireContext())

// Configure the numerical range
numberPicker.min = 0
numberPicker.max = 100

// Set the step increment
numberPicker.step = 10

// Setup the value change callback
numberPicker.onValueChanged = {
    // Actions on value change
}

// Display the number picker
numberPicker.show()

Upon running this snippet, a dialog featuring a number picker emerges. Users can either drag the slider to select a number or tap the numerical buttons for direct input.

Moreover, SimpleNumberPicker extends its utility with style customization. Modify the style attribute to tailor the background color, text color, and font weight of the number picker:

// Customizing the style
numberPicker.style = SimpleNumberPickerStyle(
    background = Color.Yellow,
    textColor = Color.Black,
    fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,
)

SimpleNumberPicker is not merely a library; it's a conduit for enriching user interaction, effortlessly integrating numerical selection functionality within your Android applications.
