QuiltViewLibrary
QuiltView displays views of different sizes in a scrollable grid.
Dependencies
This library depends on gridlayout_v7 (git@github.com:jacobmoncur/gridlayout_v7.git)
Setup
The QuiltView can be defined by XML:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.jake.quiltviewsample"
android:id="@+id/FrameLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.jake.quiltview.QuiltView
android:id="@+id/quilt"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dip"
app:scrollOrientation="horizontal|vertical" >
</com.jake.quiltview.QuiltView>
</FrameLayout>
Or programmatically
boolean isVertical = true|false; //defines which direction the QuiltView will scroll: true = Vertical, false = Horizontal
QuiltView quiltView = new QuiltView(context, isVertical); //(QuiltView) findViewById(R.id.quilt);
Adding Children
Children must be added to the QuiltView programmatically as an ArrayList of ImageViews:
ArrayList<ImageView> images = new ArrayList<ImageView>();
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++){
ImageView image = new ImageView(this.getApplicationContext());
image.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.bg);
images.add(image);
}
quiltView.addPatchImages(images);
Or an ArrayList of Views
ArrayList<View> views = new ArrayList<View>();
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++){
FrameLayout patch = new FrameLayout(this.getApplicationContext());
views.add(patch);
}
quiltView.addPatchViews(views);
Goals for this view
- Have no empty patches
- Be sudo-random (lays out the children differently each time)
- Looks awesome!
TODO
- Custom Adapter to allow view recycling
- Be able to define children in XML
- Adapt better to different screen sizes
