The Mailbox-like Swipe gesture library for Android
SwipeActionAdapter is a library that provides a simple API to create Mailbox-like action when swiping in a ListView. The idea is to make it simple enough to implement while still providing sufficient options to allow you to integrate it with the design of your application.
Support for Android 4.0 and up. It might work on lower API versions, but I haven't tested it and I don't intend to make any effort in that direction.
Feel free to fork or issue pull requests on github. Issues can be reported on the github issue tracker.
There are multiple options to add SwipeActionAdapter to your project:
Grade
Add it as a dependency to your
build.gradle
java dependencies { compile 'com.wdullaer:swipeactionadapter:2.0.0' }
Jar File
Download the jar file and add it to your project
Build from source
If you would like to get the most recent code in a jar, clone the project and run
./gradlew jarfrom the root folder. This will build a
swipeactionadapter.jarin
library/build/libs/.
You may also add the library as an Android Library to your project. All the library files live in
library.
The library also uses some Java 8 features, which Android Studio will need to transpile. This requires the following stanza in your app's
build.gradle. See https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support.html for more information on Java 8 support in Android.
groovy android { ... // Configure only for each module that uses Java 8 // language features (either in its source code or // through dependencies). compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } }
If you'd rather just start with a working example, clone the project and take a look.
For a basic implementation, you'll need to
The majority of this libraries functionality is provided through an adapter which wraps around the content
Adapterof your
ListView. You will need to set the SwipeActionAdapter to your ListView and because we need to set some properties of the ListView, you will also need to give a reference of the
ListViewto the
SwipeActionAdapter. This is typically done in your
Activity's or
FragmentsonCreate/onActivityCreated callbacks.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);// Create an Adapter for your content String[] content = new String[20]; for (int i=0;i<20;i++) content[i] = "Row "+(i+1); ArrayAdapter<string> stringAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>( this, R.layout.row_bg, R.id.text, new ArrayList<string>(Arrays.asList(content)) ); // Wrap your content in a SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter = new SwipeActionAdapter(stringAdapter); // Pass a reference of your ListView to the SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter.setListView(getListView()); // Set the SwipeActionAdapter as the Adapter for your ListView setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
I'm just supplying an empty layout with a background for each direction. You should have a layout for at least
SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_LEFTand
SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_RIGHT. The other directions are optional. It is important that the background layouts scale properly vertically. The
onCreatecallback from the previous section now becomes:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);// Create an Adapter for your content String[] content = new String[20]; for (int i=0;i<20;i++) content[i] = "Row "+(i+1); ArrayAdapter<string> stringAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>( this, R.layout.row_bg, R.id.text, new ArrayList<string>(Arrays.asList(content)) ); // Wrap your content in a SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter = new SwipeActionAdapter(stringAdapter); // Pass a reference of your ListView to the SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter.setListView(getListView()); // Set the SwipeActionAdapter as the Adapter for your ListView setListAdapter(mAdapter); // Set backgrounds for the swipe directions mAdapter.addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_FAR_LEFT,R.layout.row_bg_left_far) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_LEFT,R.layout.row_bg_left) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_FAR_RIGHT,R.layout.row_bg_right_far) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_RIGHT,R.layout.row_bg_right);
}
Layout code
The final thing to do is listen to swipe gestures. This is done by implementing the
SwipeActionListener. This interface has three methods: *
boolean hasActions(int position, SwipeDirection direction): return true if you want this item to be swipeable in this direction *
boolean shouldDismiss(int position, SwipeDirection direction): return true if you want the item to be dismissed, return false if it should stay visible. This method runs on the interface thread so if you want to trigger any heavy actions here, put them on an
ASyncThread*
void onSwipe(int[] position, SwipeDirection[] direction): triggered when all animations on the swiped items have finished. You will receive an array of all swiped items, sorted in descending order with their corresponding directions.
You should pass a reference of your
SwipeActionListenerto the
SwipeActionAdapter
Here's the final implementation of our example's
onCreatemethod: ```java protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Create an Adapter for your content String[] content = new String[20]; for (int i=0;i<20;i++) content[i] = "Row "+(i+1); ArrayAdapter stringAdapter = new ArrayAdapter( this, R.layout.row_bg, R.id.text, new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(content)) );// Wrap your content in a SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter = new SwipeActionAdapter(stringAdapter);
// Pass a reference of your ListView to the SwipeActionAdapter mAdapter.setListView(getListView());
// Set the SwipeActionAdapter as the Adapter for your ListView setListAdapter(mAdapter);
// Set backgrounds for the swipe directions mAdapter.addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_FAR_LEFT,R.layout.row_bg_left_far) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_LEFT,R.layout.row_bg_left) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_FAR_RIGHT,R.layout.row_bg_right_far) .addBackground(SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_RIGHT,R.layout.row_bg_right);
// Listen to swipes mAdapter.setSwipeActionListener(new SwipeActionListener(){ @Override public boolean hasActions(int position, SwipeDirection direction){ if(direction.isLeft()) return true; // Change this to false to disable left swipes if(direction.isRight()) return true; return false; }
@Override public boolean shouldDismiss(int position, SwipeDirection direction){ // Only dismiss an item when swiping normal left return direction == SwipeDirection.DIRECTION_NORMAL_LEFT; } @Override public void onSwipe(int[] positionList, SwipeDirection[] directionList){ for(int i=0;i<positionlist.length int direction="directionList[i];" position="positionList[i];" string dir="" switch case swipedirection.direction_far_left: break swipedirection.direction_normal_left: swipedirection.direction_far_right: swipedirection.direction_normal_right: alertdialog.builder builder="new" builder.settitle dialog swiped right toast.maketext this swipe action triggered on madapter.getitem toast.length_short madapter.notifydatasetchanged public void onswipestarted listview swipedirection user is swiping onswipeended stopped finger from the screen>
} ```
Additional Options
setFadeOut(boolean fadeOut)
Setting this to true will cause the ListView item to slowly fade out as it is being swiped.
setFixedBackgrounds(boolean fixedBackgrounds)
Setting this to true will make the backgrounds static behind the ListView item instead of sliding in from the side.
setDimBackgrounds(boolean dimBackgrounds)
Setting this to true will make the backgrounds appear dimmed before the normal swipe threshold is reached.
setNormalSwipeFraction(float normalSwipeFraction)
Allows you to set the fraction of the view width that must be swiped before it is counted as a normal swipe. The float must be between 0 and 1. 0 makes every swipe register, 1 effectively disables swipe.
setFarSwipeFraction(float farSwipeFraction)
Allows you to set the fraction of the view width that must be swiped before it is counted as a far swipe. The float must be between 0 and 1. 0 makes every swipe a far swipe, 1 effectively disables a far swipe.
onSwipeStarted and onSwipeEnded
You can use these events to execute code once the user starts or stops swiping in a listItem. This can be used to fix issues relating to other libraries hijacking touch events (for example; a SwipeRefreshLayout). ``` @Override public void onSwipeStarted(ListView listView, int position, SwipeDirection direction) { }
@Override public void onSwipeEnded(ListView listView, int position, SwipeDirection direction) { } ```
