ShowcaseView-v2

ShowcaseView library updated to v2.

Changes in the new version:

Showcase Example 1	Showcase Example 2	Showcase Example 3	Showcase Example 4

Sequence Demo

This ShowcaseView library can be used to showcase any specific part of the UI or can even be used during OnBoarding of a user to give a short intro about different widgets visible on the screen. You may add any number of views (ImageView, TextView, FrameLayout, etc displaying images, videos, GIF, text etc) to describe the showcasing view.

Gradle

Add the jitpack repo to your your project's build.gradle at the end of repositories

/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add this dependency to your module's build.gradle.

/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.naci:showcaseview-v2:$latest_version'
}

Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the /app folder

Single Usage Example

Initialise the ShowcaseView as follows:

val showcaseView = ShowcaseView.Builder(this)
            .setTargetView(targetView)
            .setBackgroundOverlayColor(Color.GRAY)
            .setRingColor(Color.BLUE)
            .setShowCircles(true)
            .setHideOnTouchOutside(false)
            .setShowcaseShape(ShowcaseView.SHAPE_CIRCLE)
            .setRingWidth(
                TypedValue.applyDimension(
                    TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
                    2f,
                    resources.displayMetrics
                )
            )
            .setDelay(500)
            .setDistanceBetweenShowcaseCircles(10)
            .setShowcaseListener(object :
                IShowcaseListener {
                override fun onShowcaseDisplayed(showcaseView: ShowcaseView) {
                    //TODO : do something..
                }

                override fun onShowcaseDismissed(showcaseView: ShowcaseView) {
                    //TODO : do something..
                }

                override fun onShowcaseSkipped(showcaseView: ShowcaseView) {
                    //TODO : do something..
                }
            })
            .addCustomView(R.layout.layout_showcase_body, Gravity.CENTER)
            .build()

showcaseView.show()

showcaseView!!.setClickListenerOnView(
    R.id.btn,
    View.OnClickListener {
        // showcaseView!!.showcaseSkipped() // Use this when skip button clicked 
        showcaseView!!.hide() 
    }
)

To hide the showcaseView just call:

showcaseView.hide()

Properties

Name	Description	Default Value
setTargetView	Sets the view which needs to be showcased (This method must be called inorder to use showcaseview)	NA
setBackgroundOverlayColor	Sets the color of the overlay to be shown	0
setRingColor	Set color of the focus highlight rings	0
setRingWidth	Set width of the focus highlight rings	10f
setShowcaseShape	Set shape of showcase focus : SHAPE_SKEW or SHAPE_CIRCLE	SHAPE_CIRCLE
setHideOnTouchOutside	Set whether hide or not on touch showcase area	false
setDistanceBetweenShowcaseCircles	Set distance value between 2 highlight circles	48
setDelay	Delay in ms for Showcaseview to be shown	0
setShowCircles	Set whether or not show the highlight circles fır SHAPE_CIRCLE	true
setShowcaseListener	Set listener to listen showcase states : onShowcaseDisplayed, onShowcaseDismissed, onShowcaseSkipped	NA
setClickListenerOnView	Sets clicklistener on the components of the customView(s) added	NA
addCustomView	Sets the custom description view/layout to describe the showcaseView. Also, sets a gravity for the view (TOP, LEFT, RIGHT, BOTTOM) around the showcasing view	NA
setShowcaseMargin	Sets the custom description view margin from the showcaseView in the direction of the gravity defined, if any. If no gravity defined, then no point in using this method.	12f

Sequence

Prepare ShowcaseView's first then call,

val sequence = ShowcaseSequence(this)
sequence.addSequenceItem(showcaseView1!!)
sequence.addSequenceItem(showcaseView2!!)
sequence.addSequenceItem(showcaseView3!!)
sequence.addSequenceItem(showcaseView4!!)
sequence.start()

Sequence will handle to show all showcases one by one with animation

If you want to show the sequel only for one time then create it with sequenceID as showed below,

val sequence = ShowcaseSequence(this, "sequenceID")
sequence.addSequenceItem(showcaseView1!!)
...
sequence.start()

Note: Sequence will be end if u call showcaseView!!.showcaseSkipped() method

Things to keep in mind

Call the showcaseViewBuilder.show() only after adding all the customViews.
setRingWidth(float width) and other margin setters take pixels as parameters. So make sure to send into density independent pixels (dp) value to support multiple screen sizes (See the sample code snippet above for reference)
Once showcaseViewBuilder.hide() is called, all the click listeners get deregistered
Thus, you will have to set them back if showing it again. Better to register all the click listeners in a single method which can be called when showing the showcaseView.

Note : There is an unused MainActivity.java file in sample app which is written in Java
