The easiest way to create a dashed or striped background on Android

TheDashedView library allows you to create views with a dashed (or striped) background. Below are some examples of views created with this library. You can click on any example to see its code.

There is also a demo app for this library which allows you to see the look and feel of theDashedView on your own device:

If you don't have this already, add it to yourroot build.gradle file:

allprojects {    repositories {        ...        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }    }}

Then you can add the dependency to yourapp build.gradle file:

dependencies {    ...    implementation 'com.github.MackHartley:DashedView:1.0.0'}

Once that's finished you can declare aDashedView via XML:

<com.mackhartley.dashedview.DashedView    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    app:dvDashAngle="45"    app:dvDashColor="#777"    app:dvDashWidth="4dp"    app:dvSpaceBetweenDashes="4dp"    app:dvViewCornerRadius="0dp" />

The table below explains the 5 XML attributes you can set on theDashedView class:

TheDashedView also has a public method that allows you to set custom coloring for individual dashes:

interface DashColorGenerator {    @ColorInt fun getPaintColor(curIndex: Int, numDashes: Int): Int}

To see an example of theDashColorGenerator clickhere.

Click on any example to see it's code (You also need to look atMainActivity which sets custom dash coloring)
