Examples, tutorials and applications for the LVGL embedded GUI library

Overview

⚠️ This library is now obsolete. Please use https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/tree/master/demos instead. ⚠️

Demos for LVGL

Add the examples to your projects

  1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lv_demos.git.
  2. The lv_demos directory should be next to the lvgl directory in your project.

Similarly to lv_conf.h there is a configuration file for the examples too. It is called lv_demo_conf.h.

  1. Copy lv_demos/lv_demo_conf_template.h next to lv_demos directory
  2. Rename it to lv_demo_conf.h
  3. Change the first #if 0 to #if 1 to enable the file's content
  4. Enable or Disable demos

Demos

Widgets

Shows how the widgets look like out of the box using the built-in material theme.   See in lv_demo_widgets folder.

Basic demo to show the widgets of LVGL

Music player

The music player demo shows what kind of modern, smartphone-like user interfaces can be created on LVGL. It works the best with display with 480x272 or 272x480 resolution.

See in lv_demo_music folder.

Music player demo with LVGL

Keypad and encoder

LVGL allows you to control the widgets with a keypad and/or encoder without a touchpad. This demo shows how to handle buttons, drop-down lists, rollers, sliders, switches, and text inputs without touchpad. Learn more about the touchpad-less usage of LVGL here.

See in lv_demo_keypad_encoder folder.

Keypad and encoder navigation in LVGL embedded GUI library

Benchmark

A demo to measure the performance of LVGL or to compare different settings. See in lv_demo_benchmark folder. Benchmark demo with LVGL embedded GUI library

Stress

A stress test for LVGL. It contains a lot of object creation, deletion, animations, style usage, and so on. It can be used if there is any memory corruption during heavy usage or any memory leaks. See in lv_demo_stress folder. Stress tes tfor LVGL

Comments
  • Rework the examples repo

    Rework the examples repo

    This repo should be reworked to make people easier to get started.

    My vision is the following

    Simple examples

    Add very simple examples. It would be nice to use these examples in the documentation too (add lv_examples as a submodule to docs). I was collecting the recurring questions which could be answered with examples:

    • [x] mbox: modal (@embeddedt, lv_ex_mbox_2)
    • [x] slider: move the slider and set a label's text (@embeddedt, lv_ex_slider_2)
    • [ ] button: styling
    • [x] image: recolor (@embeddedt, lv_ex_img_2)
    • [ ] label: styling
    • [x] label: text shadow (@embeddedt, lv_ex_label_2)
    • [x] text area: password and one line mode (@embeddedt, lv_ex_ta_2)
    • [ ] text area: finish on Enter
    • [ ] text area: format text (e.g automatically add dots for IP address)
    • [ ] image: slide show animation
    • [ ] image: mosaic wallpaper
    • [x] display driver test (aded in FAQ)

    Ready to use / easy to modify applications

    • [x] Android like menu LINK
    • [ ] Car dashboard
    • [ ] File browser
    • [ ] Home automatization
    • [ ] Audio players
    • [ ] WiFi connect
    • [ ] All in one example to show LittlevGL's features Example

    External libraries

    Create a separate repo for examples when external libraries are used:

    • [x] PNG decoder
    • [ ] JPG decoder
    • [ ] Video player
    • [x] QR code
    • [x] FatFS and Windows/Unix fs integration. Here I've already started something
    • [x] FreeType

    Blog post

    Create blog posts about longer, more complex topics

    • [ ] responsive: fit, auto realign, layout, LV_DPI
    • [ ] optimizations for monocrome: round, pixel_wr
    • [ ] OSD menu
    • [x] FAQ: added to the documentation's welcome page instead

    Tutorials

    • lv_tutorial should be removed as it makes the examples and documentation fragile

    Tests

    • lv_tests are not designed for the users, so they can go to a separate repo: lv_tets

    Feedback is very welcome

  • Mpy examples

    Mpy examples

    These are my micropython examples. I tried to do a "word by word" translation from the C originals. The examples using images may not run yet on the simulator. However, I prepared examples with the extension ...sim.py for which a conversion to a program running on the simulator should be easy. Only the filename of the binary file must be changed to the URL of the binary image. Please check

    Error with live examples

    @embeddedt I've released v7.6.1 but now the live examples are not working. It shows 404 error instead of the examples and I can't find the html files anywhere.

    BTW, if the html files are added into the gh-pages branch how can we manage more branches (other than the master)?

    Compilation error

    When compiling the examples with the Makefile I get an error:

  • How to run hello world?

    How to run hello world?

    I've a basic script, based on lv_examples/lv_tutorial/1_hello_world:

    /* gui.c */
    #include "lvgl/lvgl.h"
    
    int main()
    {	 	 
        return 0;
    }
    
    void gui(void)
    {
        lv_obj_t * scr = lv_disp_get_scr_act(NULL); /* just one line from the example */
    }
    

    I compile it with gcc gui.c and get the following error:

    /tmp/cca5tFm7.o: In function `gui':
    gui.c:(.text+0x2c): undefined reference to `lv_disp_get_scr_act'
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    

    Where does lv_disp_get_scr_act() come from and what am I missing?

    Thanks in advance!

    Would a PR to update to v8.3.1 of lvgl be considered?

    Updated lvgl from v8.1 to 8.3.1 and seeing errors due to changes in lv_obj_draw_part_dsc_t, I think a property was renamed.

    I think I can fix it, would a PR to correct be something you'd consider accepting upstream?

  • update to work with Arduino

    update to work with Arduino

    I made the lv_demo_widgetsfrom lv_examples buildable with the Arduino IDE for an ESP32 board and a 480x320 display. I also update the lvgl library. Most changes were done by text replacements:

    1. replace #if defined(LV_LVGL_H_INCLUDE_SIMPLE) with #if defined(LV_LVGL_H_INCLUDE_SIMPLE) || defined( ARDUINO )

    2. replace #include <lv_examples/lv_demo.h> with #ifdef ARDUINO #include <lv_demo.h> #else #include <lv_examples/lv_demo.h> #endif

    3. replace e == with e->code ==

  • keyboard tutorial crashes when Yes or No is pressed

    keyboard tutorial crashes when Yes or No is pressed

    This seems to be related to deleting the mbox in mbox_action.

    I'm running this under mbed but not multi-threading. I'm using the NUCLEO-F446RE dev board with this display connected in 16-bit parallel. lv_tic_inc and lv_task_handler are called from the main loop context, not from a timer. I can get it to not crash if I hide the mbox instead of deleting it in mbox_action.

    In mbox_action, if I call

    lv_obj_set_hidden(lv_obj_get_parent(mbox), true); 
    

    instead of

    lv_obj_del(lv_obj_get_parent(mbox));
    

    The app does not crash. If I create a variable to save the mbox on creation

    static lv_obj_t * mbox = NULL;
    

    Then I can change enable_action to delete the 'old' mbox and create a new one. This works fine.

    static lv_res_t enable_action(lv_obj_t * btn)
    {
       /*If the butto nsi released the show message box to be sure about the Enable*/
       if(lv_btn_get_state(btn) == LV_BTN_STATE_REL) {
          if (mbox != NULL) {
             printf("mbox existed previously, deleting prior to creating new.\r\n");
             lv_obj_del(lv_obj_get_parent(mbox));    /*Delete the black background. (it will delete the mbox too)*/
          }
    ...
          /*Create a message box*/
          //lv_obj_t * mbox = lv_mbox_create(bg, NULL);
          mbox = lv_mbox_create(bg, NULL);
    

    Based on the crash report and the memory map, it seems to be crashing in memcpy after the object is deleted.

    Is it possible that somehow a touch is trying to be delivered to the deleted mbox and deleting it later is ok?

    With benchmark or keypad demo, sometimes I see wrong pixel/lines, see pictures below. What's that? Do I have possibly a bug with my display driver code?
