PasscodeView is an Android Library to easily and securely authenticate the user with the PIN code or using the fingerprint scanner.

Why❓

  • Secure authentication is the key factor in many application (e.g. financial applications). Many application uses PIN-based authentication.

  • But Android System doesn't provide any easy to set the view for PIN-based authentication which can tightly integrate and take advantage of fingerprint API introduced in newer versions of android. This limitation led me to work on this project.

  • With the use of PasscodeView, you can easily integrate PIN & Fingerprint based authentication in your application.

Features:

This library provides an easy and secure PIN and Pattern based authentication view, which

  • It provides access to built-in fingerprint-based authentication if the device supports fingerprint hardware. This handles all the complexities of integrating the fingerprint API with your application.
  • It provides error feedback when PIN or pattern entered is wrong.
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • Supports dynamic PIN sizes for PIN-based authentication. That means you don't have to provide a number of PIN digits at runtime.
  • Supports custom authentication logic for PIN and Pattern. That means you can send the PIN or pattern to the server for authentication too.
  • It is highly customizable. So that you can match it with your application them. It provides you control over,
    • color and shape of each key. πŸ‘‰ Guide
    • localized name of each key in pin keyboard. πŸ‘‰ Guide
    • size of every single key.
    • color and shape of indicators to display a number of digits in the PIN.πŸ‘‰ Guide
    • color and shape of pattern indicators.
    • tactile feedback for key press and authentication success/failure events.

How to use this library?

  • Gradle Dependency:

    • Add below lines to app/build.gradle file of your project.
    dependencies {
        compile 'com.kevalpatel2106:passcodeview:2.0.0'
    }
    
    • To integrate using maven visit this page.

PIN based authentication:

  • Add PinView in your layout file.

    <com.kevalpatel.passcodeview.PinView
            android:id="@+id/pin_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_below="@id/imageView"
            app:dividerColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
            app:fingerprintDefaultText="Scan your finger to unlock application"
            app:fingerprintEnable="true"
            app:fingerprintTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
            app:fingerprintTextSize="@dimen/finger_print_text_size"
            app:titleTextColor="@android:color/white"/>
  • Get the instance of the view in your activity/fragment.

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      //....          
      PinView pinView = (PinView) findViewById(R.id.pin_view);
      //...
    }
  • Set the authenticator which will tell if your pin is correct or not.

    • The library provides inbuilt PasscodeViewPinAuthenticator. This authenticator will match the pin entered by the user with the correct PIN provided.
    • You can write your custom authenticator to customize the authentication logic.
       //Set the authenticator.
       //REQUIRED
       final int[] correctPin = new int[]{1, 2, 3,4}; 
       pinView.setPinAuthenticator(new PasscodeViewPinAuthenticator(correctPin));
  • Set the PIN length.

    • If you know the number of digits in the PIN you can set it.
    • But if you don't know the size of the PIN in advance you can set it to PinView.DYNAMIC_PIN_LENGTH. By default, if you don't set the size PinView will consider it dynamic PIN length.
      pinView.setPinLength(PinView.DYNAMIC_PIN_LENGTH);
  • Set the shape of the key you want to use.

    • There are three built-in key shapes. You can also generate your own key by extending Key class.
      • Round key
      • Rectangle key
      • Square key
    • You can create your custom key using this guide. πŸ‘‰ Custom key wiki
    • Here is the example for the round keys.
     //Build the desired key shape and pass the theme parameters.
     //REQUIRED
     pinView.setKey(new RoundKey.Builder(pinView)
             .setKeyPadding(R.dimen.key_padding)
             .setKeyStrokeColorResource(R.color.colorAccent)
             .setKeyStrokeWidth(R.dimen.key_stroke_width)
             .setKeyTextColorResource(R.color.colorAccent)
             .setKeyTextSize(R.dimen.key_text_size));

  • Set the shape of the pin indicators you want to use.

    • There are three built in key shapes.
      • Round indicator
      • Dot indicator
      • Circle indicator
    • If you want to create custom indicator with the custom shape, see How to create custom indicator?.
    • Here is the example for the round indicator.
        //Build the desired indicator shape and pass the theme attributes.

                .setIndicatorStrokeColorResource(R.color.colorAccent)
                .setIndicatorStrokeWidth(R.dimen.indicator_stroke_width));
  • Set key names.

    • Set the texts to display on different keys. This is an optional step. If you don't set the key names, by default PINView will display English locale digits.
    • If you want to learn more about key name localization visit here.
        //Set the name of the keys based on your locale.
        //OPTIONAL. If not passed key names will be displayed based on english locale.

  • Set callback listener to get callbacks when the user is authenticated or authentication fails.

        pinView.setAuthenticationListener(new AuthenticationListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAuthenticationSuccessful() {
                //User authenticated successfully.
                //Navigate to next screens.
            }
    
            @Override
            public void onAuthenticationFailed() {
                //Calls whenever authentication is failed or user is unauthorized.
                //Do something if you want to handle unauthorized user.
            }  
        });

       //Set the correct pin code.
       //Display row and column number of the pattern point sequence.
       //REQUIRED
       final PatternPoint[] correctPattern = new PatternPoint[]{
               new PatternPoint(0, 0),
               new PatternPoint(1, 0),
