ExpandableBottomBar

A new way to improve navigation in your app

Its really easy integrate to your project

take it, faster, faster

Important: library was migrated from JCenter to MavenCentral

It means that it may be necessary to add mavenCentral repository to your repositories list

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // your repositories

        mavenCentral()
    }
}

• Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.st235</groupId>
  <artifactId>expandablebottombar</artifactId>
  <version>X.X</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

• Gradle

implementation 'com.github.st235:expandablebottombar:X.X'

• Ivy

<dependency org='com.github.st235' name='expandablebottombar' rev='X.X'>
  <artifact name='expandablebottombar' ext='pom' ></artifact>
</dependency>

P.S.: Check out latest version code in badge at the top of this page.

Usage

Really simple as I wrote earlier

Firstly, you should declare your view in xml file

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
        android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        app:exb_backgroundCornerRadius="25dp"
        app:exb_backgroundColor="#2e2e2e"
        app:exb_itemInactiveColor="#fff"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

Then you should add menu items to your navigation menu To access menu call bottomBar.menu on your navigation view

        val bottomBar: ExpandableBottomBar = findViewById(R.id.expandable_bottom_bar)
        val menu = bottomBar.menu

        menu.add(
            MenuItemDescriptor.Builder(
                this,
                R.id.icon_home,
                R.drawable.ic_home,
                R.string.text, 
                Color.GRAY
            )
                .build()
        )

        bottomBar.onItemSelectedListener = { view, menuItem ->
            /**
             * handle menu item clicks here,
             * but clicks on already selected item will not affect this callback
             */
        }
        
        bottomBar.onItemReselectedListener = { view, menuItem ->
            /**
             * handle here all the click in already selected items
             */
        }

Xml menu declaration

If your menu is constantly, you may specify it from xml

Firstly, you should declare menu items in xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/home"
        android:title="@string/text"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_home"
        app:exb_color="#FF8888" />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/settings"
        android:title="@string/text4"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings"
        app:exb_color="@color/colorSettings" />

    <item
        android:id="@+id/bookmarks"
        android:title="@string/text3"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_bookmarks"
        app:exb_color="#fa2" />
</menu>

each item tag has following attributes:

Just like any Android menu 😉

Then you should reference this xml file at the view attributes

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
        android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        app:exb_backgroundCornerRadius="25dp"
        app:exb_itemInactiveColor="#fff"
        app:exb_items="@menu/bottom_bar"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />

Xml attributes

Notification badges

    /**
     * Returns notification object
     */
    val menu = bottomBar.menu
    val notification = menu.findItemById(i.itemId).notification() // itemId is R.id.action_id

   notification.show() // shows simple dot-notification
   notification.show("string literal") // shows notification with counter. Counter could not exceed the 4 symbols length

  notification.clear() // removes notification badge from menu item

Navigation Components support

Usually Drawer or BottomNavigationView attached to navigation controller with NavigationUI.setupWithNavController(view, navController), but this system is not applicable to customview components. That's why ExpandableBottomBar offers it's own ExpandableBottomBarNavigationUI

To attach ExpandableBottomBar to your navigation components you should use the same approach

    ExpandableBottomBarNavigationUI.setupWithNavController(bottomNavigation, navigationController)

Coordinator Layout support

Do you waiting for Coordinator Layout support - and it is already here! Fabs and Snackbars aligned by bottom bar! Hooray 🎉

Available without registration and SMS, starting from 0.8 version. Seriously, everything is already working out of the box - nothing needs to be done.

But... if you need to support hiding the menu by list/grid scroll - then you are really lucky!

This functionality is very simple to implement. You need to redeclare custom Coordinator Layout Behavoir to ExpandableBottomBarScrollableBehavior.

    <github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.ExpandableBottomBar
            android:id="@+id/expandable_bottom_bar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            app:layout_behavior="github.com.st235.lib_expandablebottombar.behavior.ExpandableBottomBarScrollableBehavior"
            app:items="@menu/bottom_bar" />

Really easy ;D

After integration this behavior should looks like:
