MiStoryView

MiStoryView is a simple configurable library to integrate stories features into your social media android application.

Preview

Key features

• Set a list of image URLs in MiStoryView.
• Customize duration for the particular story (in milliseconds).
• Set any of the predefined animations, while swiping between multiple stories.
• Move to the back and forth story by tapping on the right and left parts of an image.
• Hold story by just simply touch on it.
• Move to the whole next story or exit full story view, if a user is at the last item of the story.
• Move to the whole previous story or exit the full story view, if a user is at the first item of the story.
• Story indicator color changes once it is seen.

Usage

Dependencies

• Step 1: Add the JitPack repository in your project build.gradle file bash allprojects { repositories { ... maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } } }

or

If Android studio version is Arctic Fox or upper then add it in your settings.gradle:

 dependencyResolutionManagement {
            repositories {
                ...
                maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
            }
       }

• Step 2: Add the dependency in your app module build.gradle file bash dependencies { ... implementation 'com.github.Mindinventory:MIStoryView:0.0.1' }

Implementation

• Step 1 : Provide a list of stories. (Note : Use MiUserStoryModel class only to provide list of stories)

  class MainViewModel : ViewModel() {
          val mListOfUsers: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel> = ArrayList()
  
          init {
                  mListOfUsers.add(MiUserStoryModel("1", "Johny Curtis", ArrayList()).also {
                          it.userStoryList.add(
                                  MiStoryModel(
                                  "https://i.picsum.photos/id/0/5616/3744.jpg?hmac=3GAAioiQziMGEtLbfrdbcoenXoWAW-zlyEAMkfEdBzQ",
                                  "Johny Depp",
                                  "10:08 PM"
                                  )
                          )
                          it.userStoryList.add(
                                  MiStoryModel(
                                  "https://i.picsum.photos/id/1/5616/3744.jpg?hmac=kKHwwU8s46oNettHKwJ24qOlIAsWN9d2TtsXDoCWWsQ",
                                  "Johny Depp",
                                  "07:50 AM"
                                  )
                          )
                  })
          }
  
          fun updateListOfUser(mListOfUsers: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel>) {
                  this.mListOfUsers.clear()
                  this.mListOfUsers.addAll(mListOfUsers)
          }        
  
  }
  

• Step 2 : Inflate recyclerview in your layout file.

  <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
          android:id="@+id/rvStory"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:clipToPadding="false"
          android:orientation="vertical"
          android:padding="@dimen/dp_8"
          app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
          app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
          app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
          app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
          tools:listitem="@layout/item_user_story" />
  

• Step 3 : Create a recyclerview row item, which consists MiStoryView class.

  // See row item of sample app.
  

• Step 4 : Create an adapter object and a resultAPI launcher to launch story detail view from your activity.

  class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
          // This is necessary snippet to listen the changes of seen stories data,
          // when user come back to the origin activity.
  
          private val launcher =
                  registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) {
                  try {
                          if (it.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                                  val list = arrayListOf<MiUserStoryModel>()
  
                                  it.data?.hasExtra(MiStoryDisplayActivity.MI_LIST_OF_STORY)
                                  ?.let { hasMiStoryList ->
                                       if (hasMiStoryList) {
                                          it.data?.getParcelableArrayListExtra<MiUserStoryModel>(
                                          MiStoryDisplayActivity.MI_LIST_OF_STORY
                                          )?.let { listOfUserStories ->
                                                  list.addAll(listOfUserStories)
                                          }
                                       }
                                  }
  
                                  if (!mViewModel.mListOfUsers.containsAll(list)) {
                                       storyAdapter.setUserStoryData(list)
                                       mViewModel.updateListOfUser(list)
                                  }
                          }
                  } catch (e: Exception) {
                          e.printStackTrace()
                  }
          }
  
          // onCreateView here and invoke initView() method in it.
  
          private fun initView() {
                  // Initialize your adapter here.
                  // Provide launcher and list of stories from viewmodel for example
                  // in constructor of that adapter.
  
                  with(mBinding.rvStory) {
                      ...
                      storyAdapter = StoryAdapter(mViewModel.mListOfUsers, { launcher }, { [email protected] })
                      adapter = storyAdapter
                  }
          }
  }
  

• Step 5 : Create a recyclerview adapter. Must implement touch event of root view and dispatch that event to MiStoryView to launch Story detail view.

  class StoryAdapter(
          private val launcher: ActivityResultLauncher<Intent>,
          private val launcherCallBack: () -> ActivityResultLauncher<Intent>,
          private val activityCallBack: () -> AppCompatActivity
  ) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
          override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
                  // inflate your row item layout here
          }
  
          @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
          override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
                  if (holder is StoryViewHolder) {
                          holder.mBinding.apply {
                                  // Dispatch touch event of root view
                                  // to MiStoryView to open full screen
                                  // story preview view.
                                  root.setOnTouchListener { view, motionEvent ->
                                          msvStory.dispatchTouchEvent(motionEvent)
                                          true
                                  }
  
                                  msvStory.apply {
                                          setActivity(activityCallBack.invoke())
                                          setLauncher(launcherCallBack.invoke())
                                          if (listOfUseStory.isNotEmpty()) {
                                                  setImageUrls(listOfUseStory, holder.adapterPosition)
                                          }
                                  }
                                  tvUserName.text = mDataList[holder.adapterPosition].userName
                          }
                  }
          }
  
          // Other override methods here
          // Define viewholder class here
  
          fun setUserStoryData(mDataList: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel>) {
              this.listOfUseStory.clear()
              this.listOfUseStory = mDataList
              notifyDataSetChanged()
          }
  }
