PagedGrid

Custom android view composed by multiple page grids with custom content and layout

Description

A PagedGrid is a ViewPager which pages are GridLayout with equal distributed rows and columns.This project is an Android library, written in Kotlin, that helps you create a PagedGrid component and manage its pages and cell views.

This module provides a component with no added features, but a simple way to rapidly create particular Android views reducing the complexity, for example control panels, launchers and tables.

PagedGrid

A PagedGrid is a ViewPager which pages are GridLayout with equal distributed rows and columns. This project is an Android library, written in Kotlin, that helps you create a PagedGrid component and manage its pages and cell views.

Motivation

This module provides a component with no added features, but a simple way to rapidly create particular Android views reducing the complexity, for example control panels, launchers and tables.

Getting started

Add the module as dependency using the latest version number, specified above.

Add the JitPack repository to your build file

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

Add the dependency using the latest version number, specified above.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.arabello:PagedGrid:x.x.x'
}

It is possible to build the latest commit on the master branch, using the tag master-SNAPSHOT

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.arabello:PagedGrid:master-SNAPSHOT'
}

Usage

Notation: (ColumnIndex, RowIndex) [ColumnIndex, RowIndex]

Add the custom view to your layout

<io.matteopellegrino.pagedgrid.PagedGridView
    android:id="@+id/pagedGridView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Assign an instance of GridAdapter to the PagedGrid

val gridAdapter = GridAdapter(arrayOf())
pagedGridView.adapter = gridAdapter

Create an EmptyGrid page, specifying the number of columns and rows

val page1 = EmptyGrid(4, 5)

The page (grid) is a matrix of Element interface. DrawableIcon and BitmapIcon are ready to use implementation of Element. Add an element to the page using column and rows indexes.

page1[0, 2] = DrawableIcon("Photo Filter", R.drawable.ic_photo_filter_black_24dp)
page1[2, 2] = DrawableIcon("Portrait", R.drawable.ic_portrait_black_24dp)

You can create your own element just extending AbstractElement.

page1[1, 1] = object : AbstractElement() {
    override fun inflateView(parent: ViewGroup): View {
        val layout = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.custom, null)
        val img = layout.findViewById(R.id.img)
        val txt = layout.findViewById(R.id.txt)
        img.scaleType = ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP
        img.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, R.mipmap.img_4))
        txt.setText(R.string.mytext)
        return layout
    }
}

Once pages are ready, add them (or assign) to the adapter and notify the changes.

gridAdapter.pages += page1
gridAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()

The method setOnInflateViewListener allows you to access the cell View when created, extremely useful for attaching Android events. You can easily iterate over pages and cells (elements) as showed below.

gridAdapter.pages.forEach { page ->
    page.forEachIndexed { x, y, elem ->

        elem.setOnInflateViewListener { view ->
            view.setOnClickListener {
                Toast.makeText(baseContext, "View on ($x, $y) clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
    }
}

For further details and specific uses case, please see the sample app

Personalization

Here the personalization properties (first value as default)

 <io.matteopellegrino.pagedgrid.PagedGridView
        app:animationEnabled="true|false"
        app:orientation="portrait|landscape"
        app:pageIndicatorUnselected="@android:color/gray"
        app:pageIndicatorSelected="@android:color/black" />

Animation

When the content of a page change and it is currently displayed, the component animates the transition to the new content as showed below.

Landscape

The landscape mode is supported, but it is severely rigid. The component is rotated clockwise only and the scroll becomes vertical. In this way

the coordinate of each element related to a page remain the same considering the top-left corner as the origin (0,0)
