Android Signature Pad

Android Signature Pad is an Android library for drawing smooth signatures. It uses variable width Bézier curve interpolation based on Smoother Signatures post by Square.

Features

• Bézier implementation for a smoother line
• Variable point size based on velocity
• Customizable pen color and size
• Bitmap and SVG support
• Data Binding

Installation

Latest version of the library can be found on Maven Central.

For Gradle users

Open your build.gradle and make sure that Maven Central repository is declared into repositories section:

   repositories {
       mavenCentral()
   }

Then, include the library as dependency:

compile 'com.github.gcacace:signature-pad:1.3.1'

For Maven users

Add this dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.gcacace</groupId>
  <artifactId>signature-pad</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.1</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

Please see the /SignaturePad-Example app for a more detailed code example of how to use the library.

1. Add the SignaturePad view to the layout you want to show.

 <com.github.gcacace.signaturepad.views.SignaturePad
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
     android:id="@+id/signature_pad"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     app:penColor="@android:color/black"
     />

2. Configure attributes.

• penMinWidth - The minimum width of the stroke (default: 3dp).
• penMaxWidth - The maximum width of the stroke (default: 7dp).
• penColor - The color of the stroke (default: Color.BLACK).
• velocityFilterWeight - Weight used to modify new velocity based on the previous velocity (default: 0.9).
• clearOnDoubleClick - Double click to clear pad (default: false)

3. Configure signature events listener

An OnSignedListener can be set on the view:

mSignaturePad = (SignaturePad) findViewById(R.id.signature_pad);
mSignaturePad.setOnSignedListener(new SignaturePad.OnSignedListener() {

     @Override
     public void onStartSigning() {
         //Event triggered when the pad is touched
     }

    @Override
    public void onSigned() {
        //Event triggered when the pad is signed
    }

    @Override
    public void onClear() {
        //Event triggered when the pad is cleared
    }
});

4. Get signature data

• getSignatureBitmap() - A signature bitmap with a white background.
• getTransparentSignatureBitmap() - A signature bitmap with a transparent background.
• getSignatureSvg() - A signature Scalable Vector Graphics document.

Data Binding

The SignaturePad view has custom Data Binding attribute setters for all the listener events:

 <com.github.gcacace.signaturepad.views.SignaturePad
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:bind="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
     android:id="@+id/signature_pad"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     bind:onStartSigning="@{activity.onStartSigning}"
     bind:onSigned="@{activity.onSigned}"
     bind:onClear="@{activity.onClear}" />
