Samples

Features

Path Animation

Path animation is a feature that allows you to set some positions for the piece animation.

boardView.movePiece(posList);

Where posList is a instance of List<BoardView.Pos>.

QuickStart

    <com.mfratane.boardview.BoardView
        android:id="@+id/checkers_board"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:clickAnabled="true"
        app:tileMarkingEnabled="true"
        app:darkTileImage="@drawable/casa"
        app:lightTileImage="@drawable/base_g"
        app:markedTileColor="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
        app:invalidPosClickColor="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
        app:tileMarkingAnimation="IterativeFading"/>

app:tileMarkingEnabled="true" With this enabled, public void onClickTile will only be called when a click is perfomed in a marked tile. This is very useful to pre-handle invalid positions.

final BoardView boardView = (BoardView) findViewById(R.id.checkers_board);

boardView.setBoardListener(new BoardView.BoardListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClickPiece(BoardView.Pos pos) {
        /*
         A piece was clicked.
         Here you can mark the valid tiles for this piece movement.
         */

        /*
         Example
         */
        //Get all valid positions for the piece clicked.
        List<Position> validPositions = myChessRule.getValidPositions(pos.getI(), pos.getJ());

        //Marks all valid tiles.
        for(Position position : validPositions){
            boardView.markTile(position.getX(), position.getY());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onClickTile(BoardView.Pos posPiece, BoardView.Pos posTile) {

        /*
        If tileMarkingEnabled == true, this method will only be called when the tile is marked,
        otherwise this movement can be invalid for your rules, so you have to verify in your ruuning chess/chekers
        rule if this movement is valid
         */
         
         
        /*
        if tileMarkingEnabled == false
        */
        try{
            //Move on your rule.
            myChessRule.move(posPiece.getI(), posPiece.getJ(), posTile.getI(), posTile.getJ());
            //Move on the board.
            boardView.movePiece(posPiece, posTile);
        }catch(InvalidMovementException e){
            //TODO
            //Warn user.
            //Invalid movement, do nothing.
        }
        
        /*
        if tileMarkingEnabled == true
        */
        boardView.movePiece(posPiece, posTile);
    }
});

Attributes

TileMarkingEnabled

It handles click events in invalid positions. If you are marking valid positions for the next move and if tileMarkingEnabled is true, then onClickTile won't be called if the click was on a unmarked position.

TileMarkingAnimation

The animation that will occur in tile marking. There is two animations available:

InvalidPosClickColor

Color that will be displayed over a tile when a click on a invalid(unmarked) pos occurs.

MarkedTileColor

Color that will be displayed over a tile when it is marked.

LightTileImage

Image displayed as a light tile.

DarkTileImage

Image displayed as a dark tile.

ClickAnabled

If it is true disables all clicks on the board.
