PinLockView

PinLockView

A clean, minimalistic, easy-to-use and highly customizable pin lock custom view for Android.

Specs

This library allows you to implement a pin lock mechanism in your app easily and quickly. There are plenty of customization options available to change the look-and-feel of this view to match your app's theme.

You can also use it as a dial pad to dial numbers. There are several other use cases of this library and is not restricted to only pin locking.

Download

This library is available in jCenter which is the default Maven repository used in Android Studio.

Gradle

dependencies {
    // other dependencies here
    
    implementation 'com.andrognito.pinlockview:pinlockview:2.1.0'
}

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.andrognito.pinlockview</groupId>
  <artifactId>pinlockview</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Usage

We recommend you to check the sample app to get a complete understanding of the library. The step-by-step implementation guide is as follows.

Step 1

Place the view in your XML layout file.

    <com.andrognito.pinlockview.PinLockView
        android:id="@+id/pin_lock_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Step 2

Reference the view in code and add a listener to it.

    mPinLockView = (PinLockView) findViewById(R.id.pin_lock_view);
    mPinLockView.setPinLockListener(mPinLockListener);

Implement the listener interface as follows,

private PinLockListener mPinLockListener = new PinLockListener() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(String pin) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Pin complete: " + pin);
     }

    @Override
    public void onEmpty() {
        Log.d(TAG, "Pin empty");
    }

    @Override
    public void onPinChange(int pinLength, String intermediatePin) {
         Log.d(TAG, "Pin changed, new length " + pinLength + " with intermediate pin " + intermediatePin);
    }
};

And that's it! Your PinLockView is ready to rock.

But the good thing is that the PinLockView comes with a whole lot of customization options which you can use to customize the view in any way you want.

Customization

IndicatorDots (Addon)

PinLockView comes bundled with an addon view, IndicatorDots which can be optionally attached with the PinLockView to indicate pin changes visually to the user.

This view has been decoupled from the PinLockView so that you can optionally add it, if necessary. Suppose you are implementing a dial pad, then you will certainly not need this IndicatorView.

Add the view to you XML layout, generally placed above your PinLockView,

 <com.andrognito.pinlockview.IndicatorDots
        android:id="@+id/indicator_dots"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

then find a reference to the view and attach it to the parent PinLockView,

mIndicatorDots = (IndicatorDots) findViewById(R.id.indicator_dots);
mPinLockView.attachIndicatorDots(mIndicatorDots);

You MUST attach it to the PinLockView, otherwise it will be simply ignored.

Theming

There are several theming options available through XML attributes which you can use to completely change the look-and-feel of this view to match the theme of your app.
