Android support v7 palette demo

Description: In this post I'm gonna show you how to use android's support library v7 palette for extracting color from bitmap. Its can have variety of use-cases like making the background of the profile image somewhat similar to profile image or changing the whole UI as per the bitmap into the screen. Really Awesome !!!

Github project here

Lets get started.



Step 1: Add this into build.gradle.

compile 'com.android.support:palette-v7:+'


Step 2: Pass the bitmap into palette to get List<Palette.Swatch> as shown below.

Palette.from(bitmap).generate(new Palette.PaletteAsyncListener() {
    @Override    public void onGenerated(Palette palette) {
        swatchesList = palette.getSwatches();

        }
    }
});




Step 3: Here we have used CountDownTimer to display the RGB of the bitmap into the background of parent layout after the interval of 1sec. As shown below

mainContainer.setBackground(AppUtils.createGradient(swatch.getRgb()));




Steps 4: Lets combine everything :-)


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements INotifyTimer {

    private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getName();

    private List<Palette.Swatch> swatchesList;
    private CountDownTimerPalette countDownTimer;

    private int size ;

    private RelativeLayout mainContainer;
    private ImageView circularImageView;

    @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        init();

        extractColorFromBitmap();
    }

    private void init() {
        mainContainer = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainContainer);
        circularImageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.circularImageView);
    }

    private void extractColorFromBitmap() {

        Bitmap bitmap = AppUtils.getCircleBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(MainActivity.this.getResources(), R.mipmap.capture_palette));
        circularImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

        Palette.from(bitmap).generate(new Palette.PaletteAsyncListener() {
            @Override            public void onGenerated(Palette palette) {
                swatchesList = palette.getSwatches();

                if (swatchesList != null && swatchesList.size() > 0) {
                    countDownTimer = new CountDownTimerPalette(1000 * swatchesList.size(), 1000, MainActivity.this);
                    countDownTimer.start();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override    public void onTick(int tick) {

        Palette.Swatch swatch = swatchesList.get(tick - 1);
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
            mainContainer.setBackground(AppUtils.createGradient(swatch.getRgb()));
        }else {
            mainContainer.setBackgroundDrawable(AppUtils.createGradient(swatch.getRgb()));
        }

    }

    @Override    public void onFinish() {
        countDownTimer.start();
    }


    @Override    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();

        if (countDownTimer != null){
            countDownTimer.cancel();
        }
    }

}
