What is a country code picker

CCP is an Android UI Component that allows users to select a country, country code, country name, flag, and many more in one tab. international phone📱📱 code and it also gives for searching CCP. There is also a country code picker spinner.

It is used mostly when we build an app that works in many countries.

After implementation, on the left side, you will country flag 🚩, on the right side you will see the country code and in the middle, you will see the country short name.

I have used country code picker(CCP) in many apps it’s too easy to implement in the app. To implement it we need dependency and Code Piker View

  1. Create a new Project.

2 . Add dependency in App >Gradle Scripts> build.gradle

Now SDK version has been updated

compileSdk 33
targetSdk 33

So kindly use

implementation 'com.hbb20:ccp:2.5.1'

Pest this dependency ( implementation ‘com.hbb20:ccp:2.5.1’ ) in the App label in buid.gradle file like below this

3. After or implementing this dependency clock on Sync Now you can see it in the above image.

4. In the .xml file

<com.hbb20.CountryCodePicker
android:id="@+id/countyCodePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

OR in Full design code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:text="Welcome to CCP"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp">

<com.hbb20.CountryCodePicker
android:id="@+id/countyCodePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter Phone"
android:inputType="phone" />

</LinearLayout>

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/flag_imageView"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>

5. Now if you want to use country code then set click event in your Activity/ Fragment or in any kt file in which you are using your XML

package com.famous.coader.countrycodepicker

import android.annotation.SuppressLint
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.ImageView
import android.widget.Toast
import com.hbb20.CountryCodePicker

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
@SuppressLint("MissingInflatedId")
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

//finding elements using findViewById
val countryCodePicker = findViewById<CountryCodePicker>(R.id.countyCodePicker)
val countryFlag = findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.flag_imageView)

// set click event using setOnCountryChangeListener for countryName, countryCode, countryCodeName, countryFlagImage and more
countryCodePicker.setOnCountryChangeListener {

val countryName = countryCodePicker.selectedCountryName
val countryCode = countryCodePicker.selectedCountryCode
val countryCodeName = countryCodePicker.selectedCountryNameCode
val countryCodeWithPlus = countryCodePicker.selectedCountryCodeWithPlus
val countryFlagImage = countryCodePicker.selectedCountryFlagResourceId

// set selected flag in image view
countryFlag.setImageResource(countryFlagImage)

Toast.makeText(this, "$countryName, $countryCode, $countryCodeName, $countryCodeWithPlus", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()

}
}
}
