android-md-core

AppCompat and Google Support Design are really awesome but they also have some limitations. Theming android app is not an easy task, especially keeping consistent UI on both Lollipop and Non-Lollipop devices is even harder. If you've tried CardView, Spinner, Theme, you know what I mean. So, I propose android-md-core - Material bootstrap for Android development like Bootstrap or Foundation for web.

I am working hard to predefine element styles as many as I can. If you find that it still doesn't meet your need, don't hesitate to send me a request. I love to work with you to solve problems. Send a request HERE

Installation

compile "me.henrytao:mdcore:<latest-version>" 
  • android-md-core is an UI library and pretty much depended on AppCompat and Support Design. So that, versioning is quite the same with those libraries from Google.
  • android-md-core is deployed to jCenter. Make sure you have jcenter() in your project gradle.

Usages

STEP 1. Setup BaseActivity

public abstract class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 @Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  // This method should be called before calling super
  MdCore.init(this);

  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

}
 
}

STEP 2. Setup theme using either MdTheme.Light or MdTheme.Dark

<style name="AppTheme" parent="MdTheme.Light">  </style>  <style name="AppTheme.Dark" parent="MdTheme.Dark">  </style>

Demo

Please note that the app on the Play store is not always the latest version.

Concepts

android-md-core is designed base on some priciples:

  • Widely support: based on appcompat and google support design for sure.
  • Simplicity: used attribute-based theme system rather than value-based theme system. This increases the flexibility to have multiple theme in one app.
  • Ease to use: predefined style for most of base elements. So that, you can use easily like Bootstrap or Foundation for web.
  • Consistency: consistent UI for both Lollipop and Non-Lollipop devices.
  • Modern: keep up to date with Google Material Design.

Resources

Loading view with pretty animation.

ExpandableView is a View showing only a content and when clicked on it, it displays more content in a fashion way. You can add views or viewgroups but remember that it will only display the content in a LinearLayout with vertical orientation.

Add views to a FlowLayout and each view is put to the right of the previous one and wraps to a new row when the current row is full.

The Android implementation of Replace. The content of the layout can be any view, such as ListView, RecyclerView, ScrollView, etc.

ShareLoginLib is a tool to help Android developers to share content (image, text or music) to WeChat, Weibo and QQ.

A nice tab to navigate between the different pages of a ViewPager. It supports badge, blur, and cross-fade effect.
