Usage

It is recommended to check the sample project to get a complete understanding of all the features offered by the library.

The library offers a huge amount of customization options and leverages the Builder pattern for ease of use. You will find details of each of these features described below.

Basics

Flashbar attaches a full-height, full-width view (FlashbarContainerView) to the decor view of the Activity and places a full width, dynamic height view(FlashbarView) inside it. These classes are internal classes and are not exposed for public use.

Here's an example of showing a basic flashbar,

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .message("Congratulations! You have reached 5K points")
        .build();

You can specify the duration (in millis) for which you want the flashbar to be displayed. The default duration is infinite, i.e. it won't dismiss automatically if you do not specify any duration. You can also use these constants, DURATION_SHORT or DURATION_LONG for convenience.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .duration(500)
        .message("This is a flashbar with duration")
        .build();

Gravity

You can show the flashbar either at the top or at the bottom of the screen using the gravity property. By default, it is shown at the bottom.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .message("Nice work! You've successfully done something that makes you great.")
        .build();

Or,

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .message("Flashbar is shown at the bottom")
        .build();

Title

You can show an optional title in the flashbar. You can also customize the color, size, typeface and appearance of it.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Success!")
        .message("Daily whatsapp status updated successfully")
        .build();

You can change the color using titleColor(), size using titleSizeInSp(), titleSizeInPx(), typeface using titleTypeface() and appearance using titleAppearance(). Also, look out for other variants of this methods.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Success!")
        .message("Daily whatsapp status updated successfully")
        .titleColorRes(R.color.white)
        .titleSizeInSp(12f)
        .titleAppearance(R.style.CustomTextStyle)
        .titleTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "ShineBright.ttf"))
        .build();

Message

You can show an optional message in the flashbar. You can also customize the color, size and appearance of it.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Hello World!")
 .message("This is a short message. But your message can be of any length and the view will dynamically adjust itself.")
        .build();

You can change the color using messageColor(), size using messageSizeInSp(), messageSizeInPx(), typeface using messageTypeface() and appearance using messageAppearance(). Also, look out for other variants of this methods.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .message("This is a short message")
        .messageColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.white))
        .messageSizeInSp(16f)
        .messageTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(assets, "BeautifulAndOpenHearted.ttf"))
        .build();

Overlay

The overlay creates a dim effect over the entire screen bringing more focus on the flashbar and its content. It is automatically added/removed along with the flashbar.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Notifications aren't allowed")
        .message("To get notification about added transcations, you need to allow them in the settings.")
        .showOverlay()
        .build();

You can also customize the overlay color using overlayColor() and also make the overlay block any click/touch events using overlayBlockable().

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .message("You can show a modal overlay to give a dim effect in the entire screen.")
        .showOverlay()
        .overlayColorRes(R.color.modal)
        .overlayBlockable()
        .build();

Actions

There are two types of action buttons available - positive and negative (placed at the bottom).

You can also customize its appearance in a lot of ways,

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Alisa Williams")
        .message("Yeah, i'm up to it! Wanna grab something to eat today or you're bu...")
        .primaryActionText("Reply")
        .primaryActionTextColorRes(R.color.colorAccent)
        .build();

You can also listen to its tap/click events through the OnActionTapListener,

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Alisa Williams")
        .message("Yeah, i'm up to it! Wanna grab something to eat today or you're bu...")
        .primaryActionText("Reply")
        .primaryActionTextSizeInSp(20f)
        .primaryActionTextColorRes(R.color.colorAccent)
        .primaryActionTapListener(object : Flashbar.OnActionTapListener {
            override fun onActionTapped(bar: Flashbar) {
                bar.dismiss()
            }
        })
        .build();

Positive/Negative

You can customize the positive and negative buttons in the same way as the primary button. These buttons appear at the bottom part of the view. You can show the positive, or negative or both the buttons. You can also listen to the tap events in the same way as before.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Can we notify you ?")
        .message("Please allow us to send you notification")
 .icon(R.drawable.email)
 .showIcon()
        .positiveActionText("Allow")
        .negativeActionText("No, other time")
        .positiveActionTapListener(object : Flashbar.OnActionTapListener {
            override fun onActionTapped(bar: Flashbar) {
                bar.dismiss()
            }
        })
        .negativeActionTapListener(object : Flashbar.OnActionTapListener {
            override fun onActionTapped(bar: Flashbar) {
                bar.dismiss()
            }
        })
        .build();

Icon

You can show an icon on the left side of the view using showIcon() which will show the default icon.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Congratulations!")
        .message("Congratulations! You have reached 5K points")
        .icon(R.drawable.trophy)        
        .showIcon()
 .enableSwipeToDismiss()      //By default this feature is disabled
        .build();

Animations

You can customize the enter/exit animation of the flashbar. You can also add custom animations to the icon for drawing attention towards it. The library provides a fluent API-styled animation framework to customize these animations.

Enter/Exit

You can start animating the bar using FlashAnim.with(this).animateBar(). You can change the duration of the animation using duration(), apply custom interpolators using interpolator() or choose from a set of interpolators available, add alpha transition using alpha(), etc.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Stay up-to-date!")
        .message("This way, you and your friends will see messages instantly on your phones.")
 .enableSwipeToDismiss()         //By default this feature is disabled 
        .icon(R.drawable.notification)
 .showIcon()
 .positiveActionText("Enable Notification")
        .negativeActionText("Not Now")
        .positiveActionTapListener(new Flashbar.OnActionTapListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onActionTapped(@NotNull Flashbar bar) {
                        bar.dismiss();
                    }
                })
        .negativeActionTapListener(new Flashbar.OnActionTapListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onActionTapped(@NotNull Flashbar bar) {
                        bar.dismiss();
                    }
                })
                
        .enterAnimation(FlashAnim.with(this)
                .animateBar()
                .duration(750)
                .alpha()
                .overshoot())
        .exitAnimation(FlashAnim.with(this)
                .animateBar()
                .duration(400)
                .accelerateDecelerate())
        .build();

Note - You can configure the animations with your desired specifications in the builder and pass it on. You can not call build() on these animations as it is reserved to be used internally from inside the library only.

Icon

You can start animating the icon using FlashAnim.with(this).animateIcon(). You can change the duration of the animation using duration(), apply custom interpolators using interpolator() or choose from a set of interpolators available, add pulsating effect using pulse() and alpha transition using alpha(), etc.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .title("Alisha liked your Tweet")
        .message("THE BIGGEST RISK IS NOT TAKING THE RISK")
        .showIcon()
        .icon(R.drawable.heart)
        .iconAnimation(FlashAnim.with(this)
                .animateIcon()
                .pulse()
                .alpha()
                .duration(750)
                .accelerate())
        .build();

Event Listeners

You can listen to events like when the flashbar is showing, or dismissing. You can also listen to progress updates when the flashbar is being shown or dismissed to perform animations on other views if needed.

You can also listen to tap events inside or outside the bar.

Show

You can listen to events on OnBarShowListener like onShowing, onShowProgress and onShown. The progress ranges from from 0.0 to 1.0. But in some special cases (like with bounce interpolator) it can go below 0.0 or above 1.0.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .message("You can listen to events when the flashbar is shown")
        .barShowListener(object : Flashbar.OnBarShowListener {
            override fun onShowing(bar: Flashbar) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is showing")
            }

            override fun onShowProgress(bar: Flashbar, progress: Float) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is showing with progress: $progress")
            }

            override fun onShown(bar: Flashbar) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is shown")
            }
        })
        .build();

Dismiss

You can listen to events on OnBarDismissListener like onDismissing, onDismissProgress and onDismissed. The progress ranges from from 0.0 to 1.0. But in some special cases (like with bounce interpolator) it can go below 0.0 or above 1.0.

You can also specifically get to know the reason behind the bar dismiss action - TIMEOUT, MANUAL, TAP_OUTSIDE and SWIPE.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .duration(500)
        .message("You can listen to events when the flashbar is dismissed")
        .barDismissListener(object : Flashbar.OnBarDismissListener {
            override fun onDismissing(bar: Flashbar, isSwiped: Boolean) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is dismissing with $isSwiped")
            }

            override fun onDismissProgress(bar: Flashbar, progress: Float) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is dismissing with progress $progress")
            }

            override fun onDismissed(bar: Flashbar, event: Flashbar.DismissEvent) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Flashbar is dismissed with event $event")
            }
        })
        .build();

Taps

You can listen to tap events inside or outside of the bar.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .message("You can listen to tap events inside or outside te bar.")
        .listenBarTaps(object : Flashbar.OnTapListener {
            override fun onTap(flashbar: Flashbar) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Bar tapped")
            }
        })
        .listenOutsideTaps(object : Flashbar.OnTapListener {
            override fun onTap(flashbar: Flashbar) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Outside tapped")
            }
        })
        .build();

Miscellaneous

A quick look at some of the miscellaneous features available in flashbar.

Swipe-to-dismiss

You can enable this feature to dismiss the flashbar by swiping it left/right. By default this feature is disabled. You can also know if the bar was dismissed by a swipe from the DismissEvent as SWIPE.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.TOP)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .message("You can swipe the flasbar to dismiss it.")
        .enableSwipeToDismiss()
        .build(); 

Vibration

The flashbar can produce a short vibration to seek the attention of the user when it is shown, dismissed or both.

new Flashbar.Builder(this)
        .gravity(Flashbar.Gravity.BOTTOM)
        .title("Hello World!")
        .message("You can swipe the flashbar to dismiss it.")
        .vibrateOn(Flashbar.Vibration.SHOW, Flashbar.Vibration.DISMISS)
        .build();
