AsciiPanelView

Port of AsciiPanel library to Android View on Kotlin

Usage

To include this library to your project add dependency in build.gradle file:

dependencies {

  implementation 'com.prokkypew:asciipanelview:1.0' 
}
 

Documentation

Simply add AsciiPanelView to your layout.
There are few XML attributes that may help you configuring the view:

<com.prokkypew.asciipanelview.AsciiPanelView

android:id="@+id/panelView"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

app:panelWidth="64"

//Panel width in symbols. Default is 64

app:panelHeight="27"

  //Panel height in symbols. Default is 27

app:defaultCharColor="#ffffff"

 //Character color. Default is Color.BLACK

app:defaultBackgroundColor="#000000"
 //Characted background color. Default is Color.WHITE

app:fontFamily="font.ttf"/>

 //Name of your custom font file in /assets folder 

More documentation available at https://prokky.github.io/AsciiPanelView/

Example

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), AsciiPanelView.OnCharClickedListener {

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

findViewById<AsciiPanelView>(R.id.panel)

  .writeChar('g', 2, 2, Color.RED, Color.YELLOW)

  .setCursorPosition(14, 15)

  .writeCharWithColor('p', Color.RED, Color.YELLOW)

  .writeString("We", 16, 17, Color.RED, Color.YELLOW)

  .writeCenter("Center TEXT String", 5, Color.YELLOW, Color.CYAN)

  .onCharClickedListener = this
  
}

override fun onCharClicked(x: Int?, y: Int?, char: AsciiPanelView.ColoredChar) {

Log.d("char", "char clicked:" + x + ":" + y + " = " + char.char)

panel.clearRect(' ', 0, 1, panel.panelWidth, 1)

  .writeCenter("x:" + x + " y:" + y + " char:" + char.char, 1)
  
}
 
}

More complicated examples of library usage you can find in another project of mine: Infinite Cavy Story
