ShadowLayout
ShadowLayout is an Android UI component styling library used to create depth effects and interactive state transitions within mobile layouts. It provides a system for implementing complex visual effects such as custom shadows, rounded corners, and borders for views without requiring custom XML shape files.
The project features a custom shadow engine that allows for adjustable blur, offset, and spread settings to simulate depth. It includes tools for precise corner radius control and geometric border rendering for both solid and dashed outlines.
The library provides a set of interactive components, including buttons with built-in loading states and social interaction toggles. These elements support dynamic styling where background colors, text content, and animations update automatically based on pressed or selected interaction states.
Features
- Custom Shadow Engines - Ships a custom shadow engine that calculates offsets, blur radii, and spreads to create high-fidelity depth effects.
- Geometric Border Rendering - Generates solid or dashed outlines by drawing geometric paths based on thickness and color attributes.
- Shadow Implementation for Custom Views - Adds depth to Android layouts using adjustable blur, offset, and spread settings for a modern card-like appearance.
- Android Component Styling - Provides a comprehensive system for customizing the visual appearance of Android UI elements including shadows, corners, and borders.
- Shadow Effects - Provides utilities for configuring color, blur, and offset to create visual depth for wrapped views.
- Programmatic Border Drawing - Implements solid or dashed lines around views using adjustable thickness and color settings.
- Non-Uniform Corner Radii - Implements independent curvature control for each corner to synchronize background clipping and shadow masks.
- Interactive Button Components - Building buttons with built-in loading states, follow-toggle animations, and dynamic background color transitions for better user feedback.
- State-Driven Backgrounds - Implements background colors and shapes that switch in real time based on view selection and press states.
- Android Styling Frameworks - Implements a framework for defining state-based backgrounds and styles directly within Android layouts.
- View Inflation Attributes - Provides a system for configuring visual properties of child views through custom XML attributes during the inflation process.
- Loading State Buttons - Implements buttons that display a loading state during activity transitions or state resets.
- Social Interaction Buttons - Provides social interaction buttons with checkmark animations and toggle states to manage following status.
- Interaction-Triggered Backgrounds - Implements background color transitions triggered by pressed or selected states using custom selectors.
- View Background Stylings - Applies colors, images, or gradients to view backgrounds that react to interaction modes.
- State-Aware Text Binding - Links text content and color properties to the interaction state of the parent layout for automatic updates.
- Text Attribute Styling Systems - Maps selection states to native text rendering attributes to automatically update content and color.
