Android Float Picker Widget

Float Picker Widget is an open source Android based widget for picking a number using plus and minus buttons, no typing required. Widget supports whole numbers, decimals, positive values, and negative values. Configuration options include increment size, number of decimal places, minimum value, maximum value, etc. When user holds down button, the widget will continue incrementing the value and accelerate.

Could be used for picking specific scientific values (pH, temperature), AM/FM radio stations, quantity of items to purchase in lots.

 

Usage:

1) Setup Layout:

<com.laurencegellert.androidwidgets.FloatPickerWidget
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
	android:gravity="left"
	minimum_value="88.9f"
	maximum_value="105.9f"
	default_value="99.1f"
	increment_amount="0.1f"
	decimal_places="1"
	android:id="@+id/FloatPicker2" />

2) Add listener to activity:

public class DemoActivity extends Activity {

  private float p1_value;

  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	setContentView(R.layout.main);

        FloatPickerWidget fpw1 = (FloatPickerWidget) findViewById(R.id.FloatPicker1);
        ChangeListener listener1 = new ChangeListener();
        fpw1.onValueChange(listener1);
  }

  private class ChangeListener implements FloatPickerWidget.ChangeListener {

	@Override
	public void onValueChange(FloatPickerWidget fpw, float value) {
		// in your app, do something interesting with the value when this fires
		p1_value = value;
		Log.i("Demo App", "Value of the first picker was changed to: " + value);
		return;
	}

  }
}
