SnackbarBuilder

The Android Design Support library introduced the Snackbar. SnackbarBuilder provides a builder pattern that not only makes Snackbars easier to create, but it also provides some extra customisations.

One of the main annoyances with the Snackbar is that it has a dark background, but takes the default text color from your theme, which is often dark as well. This makes the messages hard to read and requires you to retrieve the TextView yourself and change the text color. SnackbarBuilder defaults the text color to white and then allows you to choose your own colour if you wish.

Download

Download via Gradle:

compile 'com.github.andrewlord1990:snackbarbuilder:0.9.0'

The library is available on Bintray (JCenter).

repositories {

jcenter() 
}

Main Features

  • A builder pattern to create Snackbars.
  • Customise message and action text color with global theme attributes and on a per-Snackbar basis.
  • Dismiss callbacks with separate methods for each type of dismiss event.
  • Theme attribute for the default view ID in an activity to attach Snackbars to, so you don't need to provide the parent view each time you wish to show one.
  • Set the default duration to use through a theme attribute.
  • Append text, which allows you to have multiple text colours.
  • Add an icon to the Snackbar if you wish.
  • A ToastBuilder to create Toast messages, with a builder pattern and global theme attributes.

Usage

Create

It is really easy to build and customise snackbars.

Snackbar snackbar = new SnackbarBuilder(this)

 .message("message")

 .actionText("Action")

 .snackbarCallback(new MySnackbarCallback())

 .build()

 .show();

Check out the sample project to see examples of how the library can be used.

Callback

Simply implement the interface for the callback you are interested in and call the appropriate method on the SnackbarBuilder. It is as simple as that!

  • Shown = showCallback(SnackbarShowCallback callback)
  • Dismissed = dismissCallback(SnackbarDismissCallback callback)
  • Dismissed (action pressed) = actionDismissCallback(SnackbarActionDismissCallback callback)
  • Dismissed (swiped away) = swipeDismissCallback(SnackbarSwipeDismissCallback callback)
  • Dismissed (timeout) = timeoutDismissCallback(SnackbarTimeoutDismissCallback callback)
  • Dismissed (manual dismiss call) = manualDismissCallback(SnackbarManualDismissCallback callback)
  • Dismissed (another Snackbar shown) = consecutiveDismissCallback(SnackbarConsecutiveDismissCallback callback)
  new SnackbarBuilder(this)

 .message("Message")

 .actionText("Action")

 .showCallback(new MyShowCallback())

 .actionDismissCallback(new MyActionDismissCallback())

 .timeoutDismissCallback(new MyTimeoutDismissCallback())

 .build()

 .show();

Alternatively, if you would rather handle all the callbacks with a single class, then you can do that too. Simply extend the SnackbarCallback class and override only the methods you are interested in. Rather than needing to check the dismissEvent integer in the Snackbar.Callback class, there is a separate method to override for each dismiss type. There is also a method that accepts the standard Snackbar.Callback.

ToastBuilder

Makes it very easy to create and customise Toast messages.

new ToastBuilder(this)
  .message("message")
  .messageTextColor(Color.BLUE)
  .duration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
  .gravity(Gravity.TOP)
  .build()
  .show();

The builder allows you to change the text color of the displayed message. If you wish to change the background you can provide a custom view for the Toast. By providing the ID of a TextView within this view, you can set the message on it through the builder method message(String).

Theme

You can provide defaults to the SnackbarBuilder and the ToastBuilder through theme attributes.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>

<item name="snackbarBuilderStyle">@style/SampleSnackbarStyle</item>
  <item name="toastBuilderStyle">@style/SampleToastStyle</item> </style>  <style name="SampleSnackbarStyle">
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_parentViewId">@id/coordinator</item>
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_duration">shortTime</item>
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_messageTextColor">@color/messageText</item>
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_actionTextColor">@color/colorAccent</item>
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_iconMargin">8dp</item>
  <item name="snackbarBuilder_actionAllCaps">false</item> </style>  <style name="SampleToastStyle">
  <item name="toastBuilder_messageTextColor">@color/snackbarbuilder_default_message</item>
  <item name="toastBuilder_duration">shortTime</item> </style>

There are some base SnackbarBuilder and ToastBuilder styles included in the library. You can use these as a parent style if you would like to. These styles can be useful to se all the theme attributes you have access to.

<style name="SampleSnackbarStyle" parent="SnackbarBuilder">
  ... </style>  <style name="SampleToastStyle" parent="ToastBuilder">
  ... </style>

Java tool for mocking HTTP server behaviours for testing HTTP client code.

Fixd is an HTTP server fixture for testing web clients. Unlike a mock web server, it is backed by a fully functional HTTP server, bound to a port of your choosing. Its fluent interface allows you to quickly and easily script responses to client requests. Its clear, declarative interface also makes the setup portion of your unit tests easy to read and understand.

MockServer is a mock HTTP server that enables easy mocking of any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS (i.e. services, web sites, etc).
