Features

• Allow Custom View as a Hover View
• Built-in Blur Effect on Backgroud
• Config for Animation Duration
• Provide onStartHover() and onStopHover() for flexibility

Limitation

• Root View Must Be FrameLayout(Because Hover View will add as a child in FrameLayout)

Setup

Gradle (jCenter)

  dependencies {
    compile 'com.nantaphop:hoverTouchView:0.1'
  }

Enable Renderscript for blur effect

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        renderscriptTargetApi 20
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true
    }
}

Usage

This library work as a util class that call setOnTouchListener(...) to the view that you want user to hold a finger to see more information. Basically, I provided HoverTouchAble interface that you have to implement on your Custom View Class that act as a hover area such as Thumbnail, List Item, Cover Image

public interface HoverTouchAble{
    public View getHoverView(); // return view that appear when user hold touch on this view
    public int getHoverAnimateDuration(); // return duration(ms) for show/hide Hover View Animation
    public void onStartHover(); // Callback when user start hover this view
    public void onStopHover(); // Callback when user stop hover this view
}

Then use helper class to initial hover view

MyThumbnail pic1 = (MyThumbnail) findViewById(R.id.pic1);
HoverTouchHelper.make(root, pic1);

Example

Custom Image View as Thumbnail

public class MyThumbnail extends ImageView implements HoverTouchAble {
  ...
  
    @Override
    public View getHoverView() {
        return new MyThumbnailExpand(getContext(), getDrawable(), "Description Text For Photo");
    }

    @Override
    public int getHoverAnimateDuration() {
        return 300;
    }

    @Override
    public void onStartHover() {
        Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Start Hover", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onStopHover() {
        Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Stop Hover", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Create Your Custom View that show when user hover

public class MyThumbnailExpand extends LinearLayout {
  ...
  public MyThumbnailExpand(Context context, Drawable drawable, String text) {
        super(context);
        this.drawable = drawable;
        this.text = text;
        init();
    }
    
  private void init(){
        inflate(getContext(), R.layout.view_my_thumbnail_expand, this);
        ImageView img = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);
        TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        img.setImageDrawable(this.drawable);
        text.setText(this.text);

  }
}

Your Hover Able View must place in FrameLayout

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/root"
    ... >
    ...
    <com.nantaphop.hovertouchviewexample.widget.MyThumbnail
            android:id="@+id/pic1"
            android:layout_width="128dp"
            android:layout_height="128dp"
            android:src="@drawable/pic1" />
    ...
</FrameLayout>

Then, Use HoverTouchHelper to initial your hover view

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    MyThumbnail pic1 = (MyThumbnail) findViewById(R.id.pic1);
    MyThumbnail pic2 = (MyThumbnail) findViewById(R.id.pic2);
    MyThumbnail pic3 = (MyThumbnail) findViewById(R.id.pic3);
    MyThumbnail pic4 = (MyThumbnail) findViewById(R.id.pic4);
    HoverTouchHelper.make(root, pic1);
    HoverTouchHelper.make(root, pic2);
    HoverTouchHelper.make(root, pic3);
    HoverTouchHelper.make(root, pic4);
}
