LoopBar Infinite Scrolling for Android

Navigation part is also a important role for user point of view and now a days navigation panel is pretty boring and trivial. Thats why i introduce you our new component named LoopBar in which idea was to make the navigation menu right at fingerprints, in a tab bar. What's more the view has a few specific features that make it stand out from the crowd of similar ones. So, try out the LoopBar library in your app and you’ll see the difference.

Customers comfort should be priority that is why they provided the ability to place the bar either horizontally or vertically. Thus, it is possible to not only customize the application look but also choose the most efficient user experience.

Installation

by gradle :

dependencies {
    compile "com.cleveroad:loopbar:1.1.3"
}

or just download source code given below and import module "LoopBar-widget" to be able to modify the sources

Features

View consist from two parts:

A list of your selectable groups
Selected view

View can work in three scroll modes: infinite, finite and auto mode. Names of first two speak for itself. In auto mode the list of groups will be infinite if all adapter items didn't fit on screen in other case it will be a static list. Selected view by request could overlay layout on screen on which it placed. Widget has horizontal and vertical layouts and also start or end gravity of selected view.

Usage

   <com.cleveroad.loopbar.widget.LoopBarView

        android:id="@+id/endlessView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:enls_placeholderId="@id/placeHolder"
        app:enls_orientation="horizontal"
        app:enls_selectionGravity="start"
        app:enls_selectionMargin="10dp"
        app:enls_overlaySize="5dp"
        app:enls_selectionInAnimation="@animator/enls_scale_restore"
        app:enls_selectionOutAnimation="@animator/enls_scale_small"
        app:enls_selectionBackground="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
        app:enls_menu="@menu/loopbar"
        app:enls_scrollMode="auto"
        />

enls_overlaySize & enls_placeholderId are used for overlay feature. Placeholder must be the view lying under the LoopBar. And it's used for setting bounds In layout when selected view has overlay. LoopBar will set width or height for this view by itself (depending of LoopBar orientation), it will be the same as LoopBar has.
Without this placeholder the bounds of LoopBar will be limited by selected view (with overlay). And thanks to placeholder the bounds will be limited only by list of groups. You can see an example of overlay usage in sample.

attribute name	description
enls_overlaySize	a size of selected view overlaying
enls_placeholderId	an id of view on which you should use layout:above or other attributes of RelativeLayouts, because LoopBarView will have increased height in this case. See more in sample
enls_selectionGravity	a gravity of selection view. Can be vertical or horizontal. Default horizontal
enls_selectionMargin	a margin of selectionView from bounds of view. Default `5dp`
enls_selectionInAnimation	an animation of appearing an icon inside selection view
enls_selectionOutAnimation	an animation of hiding an icon inside selection view
enls_selectionBackground	selection background. Default `#ff0099cc`
enls_menu	an id of menu which will be used for getting title and icon items
enls_scrollMode	Scrolling mode. Can be `infinite`, `finite`, `auto`. Default `infinite`
android:background	View have yellow background by default. Use standart `android:background` attribute to change it. Default `#ffc829`

To initialize items in widget and work with it you should setup adapter to it and add item click mListener:

LoopBarView loopBarView = findViewById(...);
categoriesAdapter = new SimpleCategoriesAdapter(MockedItemsFactory.getCategoryItems(getContext()));
loopBarView.setCategoriesAdapter(categoriesAdapter);
loopBarView.addOnItemClickListener(this);

Here SimpleCategoriesAdapter is used which required collection of ICategoryItem objects (to draw default view with icon and text).
Also you can setup adapter through:

ViewPager

Just set a viewPager into your LoopBar. If you want to show category icons, your ViewPager adapter must implement ILoopBarPagerAdapter interface (see example ViewPagerLoopBarFragment), otherwise the icons will not be shown:

    loopBarView.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

To customize wrapped RecyclerView (control animations, decorators or add RecyclerView.OnScrollListener) you are able to use following methods:

method name	description
`setItemAnimator(RecyclerView.ItemAnimator animator)`	Sets the `ItemAnimator` to wrapped RecyclerView
`isAnimating()`	Returns true if wrapped RecyclerView is currently running some animations
`addItemDecoration(RecyclerView.ItemDecoration decor)`	Add an `ItemDecoration` to wrapped RecyclerView
`addItemDecoration(RecyclerView.ItemDecoration decor, int index)`	Add an `ItemDecoration` to wrapped RecyclerView
`removeItemDecoration(RecyclerView.ItemDecoration decor)`	Remove an `ItemDecoration` from wrapped RecyclerView
`invalidateItemDecorations()`	Invalidates all `ItemDecoration`s in wrapped RecyclerView
`addOnScrollListener(RecyclerView.OnScrollListener listener)`	Add a `OnScrollListener` to wrapped RecyclerView
`removeOnScrollListener(RecyclerView.OnScrollListener listener)`	Remove a `OnScrollListener` from wrapped RecyclerView
`clearOnScrollListeners()`	Remove all secondary `OnScrollListener` from wrapped RecyclerView
