Defining a custom theme

In order to alter at least one of the colors mentioned above, you need to define a custom theme which uses DocutainSDK.Theme.Default as parent.

The following is an example which alters all currently available colors.

<style name="DocutainSDKTestApp.DocutainSDKTheme" parent="DocutainSDK.Theme.Default">
<item name="docutain_colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="docutain_colorSecondary">@color/colorSecondary</item>
<item name="docutain_colorOnSecondary">@color/colorOnSecondary</item>
<item name="docutain_colorScanButtonsLayoutBackground">@color/colorScanButtonsLayoutBackground</item>
<item name="docutain_colorScanButtonsForeground">@color/colorScanButtonsForeground</item>
<item name="docutain_colorScanPolygon">@color/colorScanPolygon</item>
<item name="docutain_colorBottomBarBackground">@color/colorBottomBarBackground</item>
<item name="docutain_colorBottomBarForeground">@color/colorBottomBarForeground</item>
<item name="docutain_colorTopBarBackground">@color/colorTopBarBackground</item>
<item name="docutain_colorTopBarForeground">@color/colorTopBarForeground</item>
</style>

To tell the Docutain SDK to use your custom theme, set the theme attribute of the DocumentScannerConfiguration.

import de.docutain.sdk.ui.ScanResult

val documentScanResult = registerForActivityResult(ScanResult()) { result -> }

...

myButton.setOnClickListener {
val scanConfig = DocumentScannerConfiguration()
scanConfig.theme = R.style.your_custom_theme
documentScanResult.launch(scanConfig)
}

Dark Mode

The Docutain Scanner SDK for Android also supports dark mode theming. The process is the same, just define different colors for the night version of your theme. The SDK decides which color to use depending on the device's sytem setting and it will change at runtime, if the device's display mode changes.

Document Scan Onboarding

If a user opens the scan page for the first time, an onboarding dialog appears. The displayed image can be customized by setting the onboardingImageSource of the DocumentScannerConfiguration.

import de.docutain.sdk.ui.ScanResult

val documentScanResult = registerForActivityResult(ScanResult()) { result -> }

...

myButton.setOnClickListener {
val scanConfig = DocumentScannerConfiguration()
scanConfig.onboardingImageSource = R.drawable.your_custom_image_source
documentScanResult.launch(scanConfig)
}
caution

If you are using a custom image, you are responsible to test wether the dialog layout is fine.
