Save custom selections in presets

[bizzguy]

Here's the use case

• select a custom color (it appears as checked in presets)
• go back to color picker (custom color is shown checked in upper left)
• pick a different color
• go back to color picker (custom color is gone)

I'd like custom colors to stay in the presets (bumping off the least used color).

Is something like this possible?

This would be neat. You could do this by setting the presets yourself.

Example:

import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;
import android.support.annotation.ColorInt;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import com.jaredrummler.android.colorpicker.ColorPickerDialog;
import com.jaredrummler.android.colorpicker.ColorPickerDialogListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.LinkedHashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Set;

public class PresetsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ColorPickerDialogListener {

  private SharedPreferences preferences;
  private int selectedColor;

  @Override protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
  }

  @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    menu.add(0, Menu.FIRST, 0, "Show Dialog");
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
  }

  @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    if (item.getItemId() == Menu.FIRST) {
      showColorPickerDialog();
      return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }

  @Override public void onColorSelected(int dialogId, @ColorInt int color) {
    selectedColor = color;

    if (!arrayContains(ColorPickerDialog.MATERIAL_COLORS, color)) {
      // add the custom color to shared preferences so we can use it in the presets later
      Set<String> presets = preferences.getStringSet("custom_colors", null);
      if (presets == null) {
        presets = new LinkedHashSet<>();
      }
      presets.add(toHex(color));
      preferences.edit().putStringSet("custom_colors", presets).apply();
    }
  }

  @Override public void onDialogDismissed(int dialogId) {

  }

  private void showColorPickerDialog() {
    // colors used in presets
    int[] colors = ColorPickerDialog.MATERIAL_COLORS;

    // replace any custom colors
    Set<String> customColors = preferences.getStringSet("custom_colors", null);
    if (customColors != null) {
      int index = 0;

      // reverse order
      List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(customColors);
      Collections.sort(list, Collections.<String>reverseOrder());
      customColors = new LinkedHashSet<>(list);

      for (String hex : customColors) {
        colors[index++] = Color.parseColor(hex);
        if (index >= colors.length) break;
      }
    }

    // show the dialog
    ColorPickerDialog.newBuilder().setPresets(colors).setShowAlphaSlider(true).setColor(selectedColor).show(this);
  }

  private String toHex(int color) {
    if (Color.alpha(color) != 255) {
      return "#" + Integer.toHexString(color).toUpperCase(Locale.US);
    } else {
      return "#" + String.format("%06X", 0xFFFFFF & color).toUpperCase(Locale.US);
    }
  }

  private boolean arrayContains(int[] array, int value) {
    if (array != null) {
      int length = array.length;
      for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        if (array[i] == value) {
          return true;
        }
      }
    }
    return false;
  }
}

My example will replace the first colors. I'm sure it could be improved on. I am always accepting pull requests if you want to add this feature to the library.
