Simple color picker

I'm trying to show a simple color picker so that the user can select the color of a few texts... But every color picker I've found so far seems too complicated for my means. I wouldn't mind coding it myself if at least I had some idea of how.

Could anyone provide me with code for some simple color picker? Or point me in a direction for further research into how to code it?

I'm trying to achieve something like this: enter image description here

Solution

  • Try this:

    In xml use:

    <SeekBar
   android:id="@+id/seekbar_font"
   android:layout_width="300dip"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_margin="10px"
   android:max="100"
   android:progress="50"></SeekBar>

    In activity:

    LinearGradient test = new LinearGradient(0.f, 0.f, 300.f, 0.0f,
              new int[] { 0xFF000000, 0xFF0000FF, 0xFF00FF00, 0xFF00FFFF,
              0xFFFF0000, 0xFFFF00FF, 0xFFFFFF00, 0xFFFFFFFF}, 
              null, TileMode.CLAMP);
        ShapeDrawable shape = new ShapeDrawable(new RectShape());
        shape.getPaint().setShader(test);

        SeekBar seekBarFont = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.seekbar_font);
        seekBarFont.setProgressDrawable( (Drawable)shape );
