Is there already a material-icon or material widget in wear os compose to show monk skin tone scale? (https://blog.google/products/search/monk-skin-tone-scale/)

Not that I am aware of - when you say "to show monk skin tone scale" what are you looking for exactly (presumably not just an indication of what skin tone is identified as the predominant one.

[Yingding Wang]

Maybe something like a color picker (https://github.com/QuadFlask/colorpicker), I can initialise a color picker with the monk skin tone palette and then allow user to choose what skin tone is the predominant one. 🙂 Would the team be willing to make a wear compose color picker? We can hit two birds with one shot.

It would be possible to make a LazyColumn with all the color icon as selections, and use a set of chips to show all the skin tones. I am just wondering if there is a better way to do so on wear screen.

or a ScalingLazyColumn with maybe 3 tones per line in chips or buttons maybe - I am sure out UX team would have suggestions

speaking of color pickers, a very long time ago I made this one 🙂 https://github.com/BoD/android-wear-color-picker

That looks awesome, wasn't expecting the spinning wheel.

[yschimke]

Are you tempted to write a compose wrapper (AndroidView) for it? Update the buttons to material? Many users?

[yschimke]

Agree the scaling lazy colum could work for the monk colours. What is the other data to enter on the same screen? If any?

[Yingding Wang]

@bod That is you 🙂 I used your color picker. Is it possible to upgrade the color picker to compose wear 🙂 I am just kindly asking. Thanks for the great work.

@yschimke the other data for monk skin tone scale, might be the body parts, where you can associate the skin tone with. It would be nice to have a possibility to input

data class SkinTone(val bodyPart: String, val skinTone: Int)

this is just my first thought. It would be great to have the list of value tuple show maybe in a set of chips as display

[Yingding Wang]

Or maybe also some percentage values for the presence of one tone in total sense, so that we can aggregate different tone to some value.

Thanks for the kind words 😊 Ideally I would love to make a new modern version of the picker lib but to be honest I have too many projects and not enough time 😅

[bod]

OTOH if it ain't broke, don't fix it 😁
