Gravity View for Android

Gravity View is an Android adaptation of Facebook instant articles. The concept behind the library is to utilize the motion sensors of an Android device and allow the end user to explore the product by rotating his device. It uses gyroscope motion sensor readings to scroll the image.

Requirements

  • Android 3.0 or higher

Usage

Gradle dependency

dependencies {
    compile 'co.gofynd.library:gravity-view:1.0'
}

Sample Code:

Inside Layout XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <HorizontalScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:scrollbars="none">
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/bg"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

Inside Activity or Fragment:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        gravityView = GravityView.getInstance(this)
                .setImage(bg, R.drawable.landingbg)
                .center();
    }
    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        gravityView.registerListener();
    }
    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        gravityView.unRegisterListener();
    }

Check if device is supported:

boolean is_supported = gravityView.deviceSupported();

Roadmap

  • Multiple image support
  • Support for Non-Gyroscope devices using Accelerometer sensor
