ActionsContentView is an standalone library implements actions/content swiping view.
The library doesn't use any specific code introduced in new Android SDK versions. This allows develop an application with an action/content swiping view for every version of Android from 2.2 and up.
Some advantages of this library:
There is one limitation:
Here is an example of ActionsContentView as an element of an XML layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
...
<shared.ui.actionscontentview.ActionsContentView
android:id="@+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@id/divider"
app:actions_layout="@layout/actions"
app:actions_spacing="0dp"
app:content_layout="@layout/content"
app:shadow_drawable="@drawable/shadow"
app:shadow_width="8dip"
app:spacing="64dip"
app:spacing_type="right_offset" />
...
</RelativeLayout>
Try out the example application on the Android Play Store: ActionsContentView Example.
To enable horizontal scrolling at content view, you should set swipe from bezel mode. It is easy to do this by adding next row to XML layout:
<shared.ui.actionscontentview.ActionsContentView
...
app:swiping_type="edge"
...
/>
or by next line(s) of code:
viewActionsContentView.setSwipingType(ActionsContentView.SWIPING_EDGE);
To create parallax effect we should create a translate animation and use it as the effect for the actions layout. Here are steps to get it done:
Create
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:fromXDelta="0"
android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_decelerate_interpolator"
android:toXDelta="-200" />
Add the next line to the XML layout of ActionsContentView:
<shared.ui.actionscontentview.ActionsContentView
...
app:effect_actions="@anim/actions"
...
/>
Parallax demo can be seen here.
Please follow next instruction to import library project into your Eclipse workspace:
If you have got error like this one: "Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties" use next steps to resolve it:
Do this for all Android projects or workspace setting and problem should be resolved.
