How to use

Configuring your project dependencies

Add the library dependency in your build.gradle file.

groovy

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.txusballesteros:bubbles:1.2.1'
}

Adding your first Bubble

Compose your Bubble layout, for example using a Xml layout file. Remember that the first view of your Bubble layout has to be a BubbleLayout view.

xml

<com.txusballesteros.bubbles.BubbleLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/avatar"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@drawable/profile_decorator"
        android:src="@drawable/profile"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"/>

</com.txusballesteros.bubbles.BubbleLayout>

Create your BubblesManager instance.

java

private BubblesManager bubblesManager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     bubblesManager = new BubblesManager.Builder(this)
                                        .build();
     bubblesManager.initialize();
    ...
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    bubblesManager.recycle();
    ...
}

Attach your Bubble to the window.

java

BubbleLayout bubbleView = (BubbleLayout)LayoutInflater
                                    .from(MainActivity.this).inflate(R.layout.bubble_layout, null);
bubblesManager.addBubble(bubbleView, 60, 20);

Configuring your Bubbles Trash

If you want to have a trash to remove on screen bubbles, you can configure the layout of that.

Define your trash layout Xml.

xml

<ImageView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:src="@mipmap/bubble_trash_background"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal" />

Configure the trash layout with your BubblesManager builder.

java

private BubblesManager bubblesManager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     bubblesManager = new BubblesManager.Builder(this)
                                        .setTrashLayout(R.layout.bubble_trash_layout)
                                        .build();
     bubblesManager.initialize();
    ...
}
