FabricView -

A new canvas drawing library for Android. The library was born as part of a project in SD Hacks (www.sdhacks.io) on October 3rd. It is currently under construction and will be refactored and polished in the coming weeks! Stay tuned.

Why? From Doodling on the screen and unleashing the user's creativity to capturing his signature for authentication purposes... The limit is your imagination.

How to use? As easy as 1, 2, 3!

Please note this is an alpha build, not feature complete, and can be buggy. If you find any bugs, report them to us here!

1. Add JitPack to your build.gradle at the end of repositories

   allprojects {
       repositories {
           jcenter()
           maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
           ...
       }
   }
   

2. Add FabricView to your dependencies

       dependencies {
               compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
               compile 'com.github.antwankakki:FabricView:latest'
               ...
       }
   

3. Add the following to your layout xml file

     <com.agsw.FabricView.FabricView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:id="@+id/faricView"
         android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
         android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
