Android View Hover

In my opinion, jumping to a new activity to show your menu is a kind of wasting time and life.

So,

I think, we need a hover view, to show menu, to show messages.

Usage

Step0

Set up RenderScript

• Eclipse, please visit official tutorial.
• Android Studio, add

  
   renderscriptTargetApi 19
  
   renderscriptSupportMode true

  in build.gradle defaultConfig, here is a sample

Step1

Gradle

dependencies {
  compile "com.android.support:support-v4:20.+"  compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0'  compile 'com.daimajia.easing:library:1.0.0@aar'  compile 'com.daimajia.androidanimations:library:1.1.2@aar'  compile 'com.daimajia.androidviewhover:library:1.0.4@aar' 
}

Maven

 <dependency>

<groupId>com.nineoldandroids</groupId>

<artifactId>library</artifactId>

<version>2.4.0</version>  </dependency>  <dependency>

<groupId>com.daimajia.androidanimation</groupId>

• SupportLibrary v4
• NineOldAndroids-2.4.0
• AndroidViewAnimations-1.1.2
• AndroidEasingFunctions-1.0.0
• AndroidViewHover-1.0.3

Step2

1. Create an original view, and make sure it was wrapped by BlurLayout

   for example:

    <com.daimajia.androidviewhover.BlurLayout
    android:id="@+id/sample"
   
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
   
    <ImageView
   
     android:layout_centerInParent="true"
   
     android:scaleType="fitXY"
   
     android:src="@drawable/kid"
   
     android:layout_width="match_parent"/>  </com.daimajia.androidviewhover.BlurLayout>

   Note: BlurLayout is entended from RelativeLayout. You can use the RelativeLayout rules to layout your view.

2. Create a hover view, there is no rules to obey. Just please remember that this view will be stretched as large as the original view you have created.

3. Bind a hover view to BlurLayout

    BlurLayout sampleLayout = (BlurLayout)findViewById(R.id.sample);
     View hover = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.hover, null);
     sampleLayout.setHoverView(hover);
   

   and don't forget that you can add various animations just in one line code. For example:

    //View (R.id.heart) appear animation.  sampleLayout.addChildAppearAnimator(hover, R.id.heart, Techniques.FlipInX);
     //View (R.id.heart) disappear animation.  sampleLayout.addChildDisappearAnimator(hover, R.id.heart, Techniques.FlipOutX);
   

You can view the samples in my preset examples.

Animations

This project provides a lot of animations you can choose. Animations are from my another open-source project AndroidViewAnimations. And you can aslo using easing funcitons to make your animations more real. Please enjoy it.
