sigcap

This library is intended to help capture signatures with an easily-configurable style.

Installation

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile('com.guardanis:sigcap:3+')
    compile('com.guardanis:sigcap-androidx:3+')
}

Usage

The basic component is the SignatureInputView which delegates the touch/draw handling to respective SignatureTouchController/SignatureRenderer instances. All the default styling values can be overriden at the resource-level, at the implementation level with the styled attributes, or by applying a custom SignatureRenderer instance.

If you want to implement the undo action outside the default dialog, you'd have to manually call SignatureInputView.undoLastSignaturePath().

Calling SignatureInputView.saveSignature() will render the signature Path instances into a Bitmap and return it wrapped inside a SignatureResponse. You can configure result rendering options (like baseline visibility) by supplying custom SignatureRequest options before saving.

If you want to save the response to a file, you can call SignatureResponse.saveToFileCache which will return a Future to the File the signature's Bitmap was stored in. Make sure to delete the signature file once you're done with it.

In a dialog: SignatureDialogBuilder

This helper class is all you need to integrate sigcap, with text and colors easily overridden through the resources (same as the default resources mentioned above).

If all you want to do is show a Dialog and you don't care about orientation changes or state, just create a SignatureEventListener and pass it to your SignatureDialogBuilder instance:

SignatureEventListener eventListener = new SignatureEventListener() {
    
    @Override
    public void onSignatureEntered(SignatureResponse response) {
        Bitmap signatureImage = response.getResult();
                                                           
        // Alternatively store the Bitmap response in a File
        File savedFile = response.saveToFileCache()
            .get();
    }
                                                   
    @Override
    public void onSignatureInputError(Throwable e) {
        if (e instanceof NoSignatureException) {
            // They clicked confirm without entering anything
        }
        else if (e instanceof CanceledSignatureInputException) {
            // They clicked cancel
        }
        else {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Signature error", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
        }
     }                                                  
};

new SignatureDialogBuilder()
    .showStatelessAlertDialog(this, eventListener);

Or you can create a SignatureDialogFragment:

String tag = "fragment_tag";

// Display the `SignatureDialogFragment`
new SignatureDialogBuilder()
    .showDialogFragment(this, tag, eventListener);

// Find the `SignatureDialogFragment` and set the `SignatureEventListener`
// If your `Activity` or calling `Fragment` does not implement `SignatureEventListener`, you
// will need to manually reset the `SignatureEventListener` when restoring.
SignatureDialogFragment fragment = (SignatureDialogFragment) getFragmentManager()
    .findFragmentByTag(tag);

if (fragment != null) {
    fragment.setSignatureEventListener(eventListener);
}

Or, using the sigcap-androidx components, you can create an AppCompatSignatureDialogFragment:

// Display the `AppCompatSignatureDialogFragment`
SignatureDialogBuilder()
    .showAppCompatDialogFragment(supportFragmentManager, tag, eventListener)
    
// Find the `AppCompatSignatureDialogFragment` and set the `SignatureEventListener`
// If your `Activity` or calling `Fragment` does not implement `SignatureEventListener`, you
// will need to manually reset the `SignatureEventListener` when restoring.
supportFragmentManager.findAppCompatSignatureDialogFragment(tag)
    ?.setSignatureEventListener(eventListener)

In a custom layout

You can also include the SignatureInputView directly in your layout:

<com.guardanis.sigcap.SignatureInputView
    android:id="@+id/sig__input_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/sig__default_dialog_input_view_height"
    android:background="@color/sig__default_background"/>

Getting the drawn signature

First, check that there actually is some form of signature-input. If there is, save the signature to a SignatureResponse you can use:

SignatureInputView sigInputView = (SignatureInputView) findViewById(R.id.sig__input_view);

if (sigInputView.isSignatureInputAvailable()) {
    SignatureResponse response = sigInputView.saveSignature();
    // Do something with the SignatureResponse...
    // Bitmap responseBitmap = response.getResult();
    // Future<File> = response.saveToFileCache();
}

Handling the undo-last-path action

The SignatureInputView does not contain the View from the dialogs that triggers the undo-last-path action. When using the SignatureInputView directly in your layout, you will instead need to implement a custom undo action that calls SignatureInputView.undoLastSignaturePath() yourself, if you desire that behavior:

SignatureInputView sigInputView = (SignatureInputView) findViewById(R.id.sig__input_view);
sigInputView.undoLastSignaturePath();
