WE SHARE OUR KNOW-HOW.

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" />

This is particularly useful if you are using someone elses account. Just add the query parameter `hl`. For example: `hl=en`.
