LoadIndicators

Overview

Neat 2D and 3D load indicators/spinners to use in your app. The library converts pre made spritesheets to an AnimationDrawable to returns a Loader object than extends from ImageView. A very simple idea that can liven up your app.

Have a look at my example app to see them in action:

Usage

In order to use the library you can add the Loader widget to your layout xml file like that:

<com.loadindicators.adrianlesniak.library.LoaderView
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:id="@+id/imageLoader"
  app:loaderType="pacman"
  app:loaderFrameDelay="40"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

There are two custom attributes loaderType and loaderFrameDelay. loaderFrameDelay basically (as the name suggests :) delays each frame letting you control the speed of the animation. The default value is 50 which in my opinion gives the best effect. This attribute is optional.

loaderType allows yout to specify what animation you would like to display. Ate the moment all available are animations are:

flip flop intersect map marker mini balls pacman pulse radar ring race running snake searching skype snake spin fade spinning gear time machine windows 8

Another way to embed the Laoder view is through code. Simple instantiate a LaoderView object like this:

LoaderView loader = new LoaderView(Context, LaoderType);

The latter parameter is an enum type with all available loaders.

or like this:

LaoderView loader = new LoaderView(Context);

and call a

setLoader(LoaderType)

or

setLaoderWithDelay(LoaderType, int)

and optionally

setDelay(int)

I hope you will find the library useful for yourself. I am looking forward to getting feedback from you and if anyone want to participate in developing the library further, do not hesitate to contact me.

Do not forget to check you my example app on Play Store :)

My future tasks will be to:

  • upload the library to Maven
  • app different colors of the loaders

P.S. The example app uses to Google Analytics which track "I Like buttons clicks" in order for me to track app engagament and favourite loaders so I can plan for future additions of new loaders.

Big thanks for http://preloaders.net/ for providing spritesheets for the loaders and for Android Arsenal to help me advertise this library.

Simple events bus (publish–subscribe) implementation based on regular Android BroadcastReceivers mechanism.

The recommended pattern for Android's equivalent to cron jobs and Windows scheduled tasks is to use AlarmManager. This works well when coupled with an IntentService, as the service will do its work on a background thread and shut down when there is no more work to do.

There's one small problem: IntentService does nothing to keep the device awake. If the alarm was a WAKEUP variant, the phone will only stay awake on its own while the BroadcastReceiver handling the alarm is in its onReceive() method. Otherwise, the phone may fall back asleep.

WakefulIntentService attempts to combat this by combining the ease of IntentService with a partial WakeLock.
