ExtendView
Have you ever wanted a more sophisticated <include /> on your XML files?
You don't need to create a custom ViewGroup anymore!
To use with gradle: compile "com.mauriciogiordano:extendview:1.0.2"
Example
viewgroup_container.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#eee">
<!-- A top border -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1px"
android:background="#ccc" />
<!-- Our container that will hold our content -->
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#fefefe">
</FrameLayout>
<!-- A bottom border -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1px"
android:background="#ccc" />
<!-- A shadow -->
<View android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:background="@drawable/tab_shadow"/> </LinearLayout>And finally, inside our layout we can use the container:
fragment_information.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/majorLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.mauriciogiordano.extendview.ExtendView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:padding="50dp"
custom:view_group_layout="@layout/viewgroup_container"
custom:container_id="@id/container">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Hello World" />
</com.mauriciogiordano.extendview.ExtendView>
</LinearLayout>Result
viewgroup_container.xml view:
fragment_information.xml view:
