Android PickerView

Announcing our first open source library.
Why develop this library?
I found existing Pickers to be quite limiting.
DatePicker and TimePicker
They can be found in the official Pickers documentation.
The name already gives it away. They only work with either date or time data.
Hacking the NumberPicker
The official NumberPicker can be hacked to display custom strings instead. To do this you have to use the setDisplayedValues method.
However, styling is practically impossible.
Existing Libraries
I haven't been able to find a library which fulfills all my criteria. Either they were:
- not very well maintained
- very iOS-looking
- not comptatible with lower android versions
- not customizable
What does our PickerView do better?
- minSdk 14 (Android 4.0)
- works vertically AND horizontally
- beautiful color fading
- support for text and images
Example usages
Minimal configuration
<ch.swissdev.pickerview.PickerView
app:orientation="vertical" />
With fading color
<ch.swissdev.pickerview.PickerView
app:fadeColor="@android:color/black"
app:orientation="vertical" />
With highlighting color
<ch.swissdev.pickerview.PickerView
app:selectedItemColor="#6200EE"
app:fadeColor="@android:color/black"
app:orientation="vertical" />
Oriented horizontally
<ch.swissdev.pickerview.PickerView
app:selectedItemColor="#6200EE"
app:fadeColor="@android:color/black"
app:orientation="horizontal" />
With images
<ch.swissdev.pickerview.PickerView
app:applyColorFilterToImageViews="true"
app:selectedItemColor="#6200EE"
app:fadeColor="#03DAC5"
app:orientation="horizontal" />
