AndroidPicker is a Java library that provides a collection of picker dialogs for Android applications, including date, time, single-option, cascading, address, number, calendar, color, file, and image pickers.
The library solves the problem of implementing various selection interfaces in Android apps by offering pre-built picker components that can be invoked as dialogs. Each picker type uses a wheel-based scrolling interface optimized for touch interaction. The library is modular, allowing developers to include only the picker types they need rather than importing the entire collection. Customization is supported through style configuration, XML layout integration, and the ability to override default assets like address data or dialog animations.
Developers should adopt this tool if they need multiple picker types across their application and prefer a unified, wheel-based interaction pattern. The library suits projects targeting Android with requirements for date selection, address picking, or numeric input dialogs. The project underwent a significant restructuring at version 3.0.0 that improved performance and XML layout compatibility, though this introduced API changes that require careful consideration when upgrading from earlier versions. Archived branches preserve support for older Android Support libraries and AndroidX versions for teams unable to migrate immediately.
The original maintainer ceased active Android development and explicitly stated they cannot contribute code going forward, though they remain open to community contributions via pull requests. The project is considered stable but now depends on community participation for maintenance and bug fixes. The README emphasizes that running the demo application and examining source code are the primary learning resources for both common and advanced usage patterns.
