Material Design has changed the way users interact with the apps.
Reveal is a new animation introduced in Android L that animates the view’s clipping boundaries. Reveal animations provide users visual continuity when you show or hide a group of UI elements. This animation is often times used in conjunction with a floating action button.
The ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal() method enables you to animate a clipping circle to reveal or hide a view.
Here is how it is done.
Layout
<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?> < android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" android:fitsSystemWindows = "true" tools:context = "circular_reveal_demo1.coderzheaven.com.circularrevealdemo.MainActivity" > < android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:theme = "@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" > < android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar android:id = "@+id/toolbar" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "?attr/actionBarSize" android:background = "?attr/colorPrimary" app:popupTheme = "@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" /> </ android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout > < RelativeLayout android:id = "@+id/content_main" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" android:paddingBottom = "@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft = "@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight = "@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop = "@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:visibility = "visible" app:layout_behavior = "@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" tools:showIn = "@layout/activity_main" > < TextView android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:text = "Material Design Cicular Reveal Animation Demo" /> < ImageView android:id = "@+id/img" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" android:layout_margin = "20dp" android:background = "@drawable/android" android:visibility = "gone" /> </ RelativeLayout > < android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton android:id = "@+id/fab" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" android:layout_gravity = "bottom|end" android:layout_margin = "@dimen/fab_margin" app:srcCompat = "@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info" /> </ android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout > |
We the user taps on the floating button, the image with appear with a circular reveal animation.
Now we will look at the Activity source code.
MainActivity
package com.coderzheaven.circularrevealdemo; import android.animation.Animator; import android.animation.AnimatorListenerAdapter; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewAnimationUtils; import android.widget.ImageView; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { ImageView view; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super .onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); view = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.img); FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab); fab.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (view.getVisibility() == View.INVISIBLE) doCircularReveal(); else doExitReveal(); } }); } private void doCircularReveal() { // get the center for the clipping circle int centerX = (view.getLeft() + view.getRight()) / 2 ; int centerY = (view.getTop() + view.getBottom()) / 2 ; int startRadius = 0 ; // get the final radius for the clipping circle int endRadius = Math.max(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight()); // create the animator for this view (the start radius is zero) Animator anim = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, centerX, centerY, startRadius, endRadius); anim.setDuration( 1000 ); // make the view invisible when the animation is done anim.addListener( new AnimatorListenerAdapter() { @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) { super .onAnimationEnd(animation); } }); view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); anim.start(); } void doExitReveal() { // get the center for the clipping circle int centerX = (view.getLeft() + view.getRight()) / 2 ; int centerY = (view.getTop() + view.getBottom()) / 2 ; // get the initial radius for the clipping circle int initialRadius = view.getWidth(); // create the animation (the final radius is zero) Animator anim = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(view, centerX, centerY, initialRadius, 0 ); anim.setDuration( 1000 ); // make the view invisible when the animation is done anim.addListener( new AnimatorListenerAdapter() { @Override public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) { super .onAnimationEnd(animation); view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); } }); // start the animation anim.start(); } } |
All Done. Check out the video above to see how it works.
