ssd1306

SSD1306 display driver for Android Things

This driver supports OLED screen peripherals built on the SSD1306 chip.

NOTE: these drivers are not production-ready. They are offered as sample implementations of Android Things user space drivers for common peripherals as part of the Developer Preview release. There is no guarantee of correctness, completeness or robustness.

How to use the driver

Gradle dependency

To use the ssd1306 driver, simply add the line below to your project's build.gradle, where <version> matches the last version of the driver available on jcenter.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.things.contrib:driver-ssd1306:<version>'
}

Sample usage

import com.google.android.things.contrib.driver.ssd1306.Ssd1306;

// Access the display:

Ssd1306 mDisplay;

try {
    mDisplay = new Ssd1306(i2cBusName);
} catch (IOException e) {
    // couldn't configure the display...
}

// Draw on the screen:

try {
    for (int i = 0; i < mDisplay.getLcdWidth(); i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < mDisplay.getLcdHeight(); j++) {
            // checkerboard
            mDisplay.setPixel(i, j, (i % 2) == (j % 2));
        }
    }
    mDisplay.show(); // render the pixel data

    // You can also use BitmapHelper to render a bitmap instead of setting pixels manually
} catch (IOException e) {
    // error setting display
}

// Close the display when finished:

try {
    mDisplay.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    // error closing display
}
