My Custom Android View "StarsViewKMB"

StarsViewKMB

This view created by me, allows to set and display stars rates as showing below:

You can enable or disable trackball/touch changes, you can change star type to (leaf, dollar, star), you can allow to cancel (the red icon), you can get and set stars values between 0 and 10, -1 value it's in the cancel case.
Currently do not have the option to resize the pictures, has only two sizes of images. Big (to edit with trackball or touch) and small to display the star value.
