One way to present a set of actions to a user is with bottom sheets, a sheet of paper that slides up from the bottom edge of the screen. Bottom sheets offer flexibility in the display of clear and simple actions that do not need explanation.

This library works on android 2.1+
- Download this library, import to your IDE (eclipse...) as a library project.
- Using Gradle
compile 'com.cocosw:bottomsheet:1.+@aar'
- Using Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>com.cocosw</groupId>
<artifactId>bottomsheet</artifactId>
<version>1.x</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>
- Compile you project with android sdk v21+
- Define actions in menu xml (only id/title/icon attribution been supported right now)
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@+id/share" android:title="@string/share" android:icon="@drawable/perm_group_messages"/>
<item android:id="@+id/upload" android:title="@string/upload" android:icon="@drawable/perm_group_system_clock"/>
<item android:id="@+id/call" android:title="@string/call" android:icon="@drawable/perm_group_phone_calls"/>
<divider/>
<item android:id="@+id/help" android:title="@string/help" android:icon="@drawable/perm_group_system_tools"/>
</menu>
- Call it just like you calling a dialog
new BottomSheet.Builder(this).title("title").sheet(R.menu.list).listener(new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case R.id.help:
q.toast("Help me!");
break;
}
}
}).show();
- You can also add action items in builder.
- Invoke darkTheme() to show build-in dark theme
- Or define your style in your application, and call bottomsheet by using new BottomSheet.Builder(this,R.style.BottomSheet_StyleDialog)....
<style name="BottomSheet.StyleDialog" parent="BottomSheet.Dialog">
<item name="android:backgroundDimAmount">0.5</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/BottomSheet.Animation</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#DDffffff</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#8Affffff</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#42ffffff</item>
<item name="bs_dialogBackground">@color/abc_search_url_text_normal</item>
<item name="bs_dividerColor">@color/abc_search_url_text_pressed</item>
<item name="bs_numColumns">4</item>
<item name="bs_listStyle">@style/BottomSheet.StyleList</item>
</style>
- Or set bottomesheet style in your activity theme
<style name="StyleTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="bottomSheetStyle">@style/BottomSheet.StyleDialog</item>
</style>
- Feel free to fork it
