JavaNoober/BackgroundLibrary
BackgroundLibrary
BackgroundLibrary is an Android UI styling framework and programmatic drawable generator. It provides a system for defining user interface components, backgrounds, and state-to-visual mappings through layout attributes and fluent code builders.
The library enables the creation of complex background shapes, gradients, and strokes programmatically, removing the need for static XML resource files. It includes a view state manager that maps user interaction events, such as pressed or focused states, to specific visual changes in colors or strokes at runtime.
The framework covers a broad range of visual capabilities, including frame-by-frame component animations and the configuration of ripple effects for touch feedback. It also provides utilities for custom shape definition, component style assignment, and the sequencing of drawables with defined frame durations.
Features
- Runtime Shape Generators - Provides a runtime engine for programmatically generating geometric backgrounds, gradients, and strokes.
- Runtime Drawable Generators - Generates complex background shapes, gradients, and state-list colors programmatically at runtime.
- Declarative UI Libraries - Constructs interface components and animations using declarative configuration instead of imperative boilerplate.
- Declarative Visualization States - Implements a declarative schema to map interaction events to visual property updates like colors and strokes.
- State-List Drawables - Implements a visual feedback system that maps component interaction states to specific drawable resources for automatic updates.
- Fluent Drawable Builders - Employs a fluent builder interface to construct complex drawable objects without XML resource files.
- Programmatic Shape Definitions - Provides a programmatic engine to create complex backgrounds with gradients, strokes, and rounded corners without static XML files.
- Shape Customization - Defines backgrounds with specific geometries, corner radii, and gradients using programmatic attributes.
- State-Driven View Management - Implements a state-driven system to manage visual effects and property changes during user interactions.
- Visual State Mappings - Maps user interaction events, such as pressed or focused states, to specific visual changes in colors or strokes at runtime.
- Android Styling Frameworks - Provides a framework for defining shapes, gradients, and state-based backgrounds directly in Android layout files.
- Visual State Management - Defines how interface elements switch between predefined visual styles based on interaction states like pressed or focused.
- Frame-By-Frame Animation - Builds frame-by-frame animations and visual transitions through programmatic configuration or layout attributes.
- Animation Frame Sequencers - Sequences drawables with defined frame durations to produce programmatic UI animations.
- Android View Boilerplate Reductions - Reduces boilerplate code by binding interaction logic and styling properties directly within layout definitions.
- Inflation Interceptors - Hooks into the layout inflation process to apply dynamic visual properties and styles at runtime.
- Component Styling - Applies groups of visual properties to UI elements through style definitions for consistent appearance.
