Titanic for Android

This library is DEPRECATED, as I don't have time to mainatin it anymore. But feel free to go through the code and copy that into your project, it still does its job.

Titanic is an Android experiment reproducing this effect.

How to use

Add a TitanicTextView to your layout:

<com.romainpiel.titanic.TitanicTextView
  android:id="@+id/titanic_tv"
  android:text="@string/loading"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:textColor="#212121"
  android:textSize="70sp"/>

To start the animation:

titanic = new Titanic();
 titanic.start(myTitanicTextView);

You may want to keep track of the titanic instance after the animation is started if you want to stop it.

To stop it:

titanic.cancel();

How does it work?

Quick version

Titanic is a simple illusion obtained by applying an animated translation on the TextView TextPaint Shader's matrix.

Less quick version

What is a Shader?

A Shader is a class defining spans of colors. It is installed in a Paint. It's usually following a certain strategy, so you have LinearGradient shaders, RadialGradient shaders BitmapShader shaders, etc...

Shader attributes:

  • tile mode: how the shader color spans should be repeated on the x and y axis.
  • local matrix: can be used to apply transformations on the shader

Why are you bugging me with these notions?

Well because it is exaclty what we are using in this experiment.

In TitanicTextView, we create a BitmapShader containing a wave bitmap.

We set the tile mode to:

  • x: TileMode.REPEAT. The bitmap is repeated on the x-axis
  • y: Tilemode.CLAMP. The edge colors are repeated outside the bitmap on the y-axis

We have a maskX and a maskY variable that will define the position of the shader. So at every onDraw() we will take in account these values and translate the shader's local matrix at the right position.

We also have a variable offsetY to make the value maskY usable. So when maskY is equal to 0, the wave is at the center of the view.

How is it animating?

The animation is based on Android Animator API. I am not going to go through that part. Go read the documentation if you need some explanations.

In this experiment there are 2 animations.

  • One is moving the wave horizontally from 0 to 200 (the width of the wave bitmap).
  • The second one is moving the wave vertically from the bottom half to the top half.

To animate these translations, all we need is to apply an animator on maskX and maskY. The position of the shader's matrix will be updated automatically in onDraw().

I want more examples

Glad you said that. Go check out Shimmer-android. It's based on the same concept with a LinearGradient shader.

API Calling Flow is a Android library which can help you to simplify handling different conditions while calling an API (Web Service) in Android.

Features

  • Internal Network State Checking.
  • On screen Setting's shortcuts to enable Wi-FI or Mobile Data.
  • Hide unloaded screen during API call and show progress bar with white or transparent background.
  • "Try Again" same API after enabling Network connection.
  • Call API only if the Network connection is enabled.
  • Remove progress bar after successfully loading data on screen.
  • Show full-screen errors to users while hiding unloaded screen from user for better user experience.

Repository that showcases 3 different Android app architectures, all with Java and Kotlin versions: "Standard Android", MVP and MVVM. The exact same app is built 6 times following the different patterns.

The IOSDialog is a library, which allows to use an dialog and spinner elements as in IOS.

This is clock animated view.

This library can be used to set advanced settings for wifi such as manual proxy and static ip configurations through your app. This code works in Android 5.0, it also works in 6.0 but you cannot update a network that you have not created yourself (due to android new rules).
