MetaBalls-LIB-Android

Various UI components that simulate a liquid(metaball) effect.

Did you mean meatball?

Nope -> metaball! This is a popular effect often used to simulate fluids. Try searching for metaball on Dribbble and you'll find countless concepts mostly made in After Effects. This library contains 3 different Widgets: MetaballMenu, MetaBallProgressBar and MetaBallPageIndicator.

Download

Via Gradle

compile 'no.danielzeller:metaballslib:1.0.1'

or Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>no.danielzeller</groupId>
  <artifactId>metaballslib</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.1</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Metaball Circular Menu

From XML:

<no.danielzeller.metaballslib.menu.CircularMenu
        android:id="@+id/metaBallMenu"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        app:radius="90dp"
        app:angle_between_menu_items = "45"
        app:delay_between_items_animation="40"
        app:open_animation_duration = "1300"
        app:close_animation_duration = "1000" 
        app:open_interpolator_resource="@anim/overshoot_interpolator"
        app:close_interpolator_resource="@anim/overshoot_interpolator"
        app:position_gravity = "center"
        app:main_button_icon = "@drawable/ic_share_black_24dp"
        app:main_button_color = "@color/pastel_pink"
        app:main_button_icon_color = "@color/white"
        />

Then you need to setup an Adapter for the menu

       metaBallMenu.adapter = myAdapter

Adapter example:

class MetaBallMenuAdapter(val menuItems: List<MenuItem>) : MetaBallAdapter {

    override fun menuItemIconTint(index: Int): Int {
        return menuItems[index].drawableTint
    }

    override fun menuItemBackgroundColor(index: Int): Int {
        return menuItems[index].backgroundColor
    }

    override fun menuItemIcon(index: Int): Drawable? {
        return menuItems[index].drawable
    }

    override fun itemsCount(): Int {
        return menuItems.count()
    }
}

class MenuItem(val backgroundColor: Int, val drawable: Drawable, val drawableTint: Int)

Metaball Directional Menu

 <no.danielzeller.metaballslib.menu.DirectionalMenu
        android:id="@+id/metaBallMenu"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" 

        app:expand_direction="horizontal"
        app:main_button_color="@color/metal"
        app:main_button_icon="@drawable/ic_share_black_24dp"
        app:main_button_icon_color="@color/white"
        app:open_animation_duration="1300"
        app:close_animation_duration="1300"
        app:delay_between_items_animation="80"
        app:open_interpolator_resource="@anim/overshoot_interpolator"
        app:close_interpolator_resource="@anim/overshoot_interpolator"
        app:position_gravity="bottom_left" />

Metaball Page Indicator

   <no.danielzeller.metaballslib.MetaBallPageIndicator
        android:id="@+id/metaBallPageIndicator"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="80dp"
       
        app:dot_colors_override_array_id="@array/viewpager_page_indicator_colors"
        app:selected_dot_color="@color/white"
        app:dot_size="30dp"
        app:dot_margin="10dp"
        app:selected_indicator_is_drop_drawable="true"/>

Then you need to attach the ViewPager to the MetaBallPageIndicator

 metaBallPageIndicator.attachToViewPager(bottomViewPager)

Metaball Progress Bar

      <no.danielzeller.metaballslib.progressbar.MBProgressBar
          android:id="@+id/mbProgressBar"
          android:layout_width="80dp"
          android:layout_height="80dp"
  
          app:progressbar_type="circular"
          app:colors_array_id="@array/gradient_green"
          app:rotate="true" />

ProgressBar Type

Set app:progressbar_type to one of the following: circular, blobs, dots, eight, square or long_path for a different look.
