README
GlassActionBar
GlassActionBar is an Android library which implements a glass-like effect for the action bar.
The three most commonly used action bar implementations are supported: stock (API >13), ActionBarCompat and ActionBarSherlock.
The code of this library is based on techniques outlined by Nicolas Pomepuy in a recent blog post.
Try out the sample application:
Or browse the source code of the sample application for a complete example of use.
Including in your project
The library is pushed to Maven Central as a AAR, so you just need to add the following dependency to your build.gradle
.
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar:0.3.0'
}
Or if your project doesn't use the stock action bar, but one of the compatibility implementations, you would use the following:
dependencies {
// Use the following if your project uses ActionBarCompat
compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar-abc:0.3.0'
// Or the following if your project uses ActionBarSherlock
compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar-abs:0.3.0'
}
Usage
Using the library is really simple, just look at the source code of the provided samples:
