BackStack

More information for BackStack can be found here

BackStack is a light weight back navigation library for view groups on Android. It provides an easy and effortless way of navigating between different screens by taking care of back navigation and view persistence. BackStack is designed to be used under a view group based navigation system, a movement began by square in 2014.

Using view groups come with some inherent obstacles. They don't come with back navigation and view tree persistence built in. BackStack aims to overcome these limitations of view groups and make them a viable choice for use in-place of fragments or activities. BackStack is built around the concept of a view creator, a contextless object that does what it's name says, creates views. Each view creator is associated with a particular view group. View creators don't hold state about what they create or who told them to create what. By doing this, each view group can be inflated independent of each other regardless of the order or conditions they were first created in. BackStack stores a stack of view creators in chronological order. The view creator at the top of the stack will inflate the view that is actually shown to the user. Using this stack, BackStack can return to any previous views. View creators are contextless, and therefore they can also be persisted through activity restarts without leaking.

Using BackStack

Adding BackStack

Using gradle:

build.gradle (Project)

allprojects{

  repositories{

jcenter()

maven{

 url 'https://jitpack.io'

}

  
}
 
}

build.gradle (Module)

dependencies{

  compile 'com.github.kevinwang5658:backstack:v2.3' 
}

Initialization

To initialize BackStack add the following code to onCreate().

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

BackStackManager backStackManager;

@Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

...

 BackStack.install(this);

backStackManager = BackStack.getBackStackManager();

  
}

@Override
  public void onBackPressed() {

if (!backStackManager.goBack()) {

 super.onBackPressed();

}

  
}
 
}

Creating a Simple Back Stack

public static final String TAG = "TAG";  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  BackStack.install(this);

  backStackManager = BackStack.getBackStackManager();

//This is the container you want to be the root of your back stack
  root = findViewById(R.id.root);

LinearBackStack linearBackStack = backStackManager.createLinearBackStack("TAG", root, (layoutInflater, container) -> {

//This is our first view group in the stack

CustomViewGroup cvg = new CustomViewGroup(layoutInflater.getContext());

 //Make sure that the view is added to container by the end of this block

container.addView(cvg);

 //Return the view group that was newly inflated

return cvg;
  
}
);
 
}

Adding Subsequent View Groups

setOnClickListener(v -> {

  //All back stacks can be retrieved anywhere using their tag
  LinearBackStack linearBackStack = (LinearBackStack) BackStack.getStack(MainActivity.TAG);

  linearBackStack.add((layoutInflater, container) -> {

//if attach to root is true layoutInflater.inflate() returns the container instead

ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) layoutInflater

  .inflate(R.layout.added_view, container, false);

container.addView(viewGroup);

return viewGroup;
  
}
);
 
}
);

Resources

A library for display a few images in one MultiImageView like avatar of group chat.

This library fits your GridView with its contents to a given size.

Displays a round or squared popup and attaches it to a View, like a callout. Uses the Builder pattern for maximum ease. The popup can automatically hide and can persist when the value is updated.

SlideUp is a small library that allows you to add sweet slide effect to any view.

Simple library for making quick notifications. After initialization with config, all notifications will be displayed with same icon, light and vibrations unless you state different for specific notification. Every type of notification has same configurable options including vibrations, light settings, icon etc.

A View on which you can freely draw, customizing paint width, alpha and color, and take a screenshot of the content. Useful for note apps, signatures or free hand writing.
