Min SDK

Minimum sdk is 14 and support is limited to recyclerview for now.

Add With Gradle Dependency

groovy
compile 'com.webianks.library:popup-bubble:1.0.5'

Maven:

xml
<dependency> <groupId>com.webianks.library</groupId> <artifactId>popup-bubble</artifactId> <version>1.0.5</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency>

Add PopupBubble to layout

xml
<com.webianks.library.PopupBubble android:id="@+id/popup_bubble" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Positioning of this view can be done according to the need. By default it should be placed in <b>top center</b>. Also it should be placed <b>below recyclerview</b> in layout so that it shows on top of recyclerview.

Example positioning

If its inside RelativeLayout then

xml
<com.webianks.library.PopupBubble android:layout_margin="16dp" android:id="@+id/popup_bubble" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

Customization Through XML

xml
<!--Change background Color--> app:pb_backgroundColor="?attr/colorPrimary" <!--Change text --> app:pb_text="New Stories" <!--Change text color--> app:pb_textColor="#ffffff" <!--Show/Hide Icon inside the button. By default its true.--> app:pb_showIcon="false" <!--Change icon color--> app:pb_iconColor="#ffffff" <!--Set Different Icons--> app:pb_icon="@drawable/ic_new.png" <!--Set different fonts--> app:pb_font="iran_sans_mobile.ttf"

Example : Full Customization

xml
<com.webianks.library.PopupBubble xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_margin="16dp" android:id="@+id/popup_bubble" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" app:pb_backgroundColor="?attr/colorPrimary" app:pb_iconColor="#ffffff" app:pb_text="New Stories" app:pb_textColor="#ffffff" app:pb_icon="@drawable/ic_keyboard_arrow_up_white_18dp" app:pb_font="iran_sans_mobile.ttf" />

#Access the bubble from Java

java
PopupBubble popupBubble = (PopupBubble) findViewById(R.id.popup_bubble);

Add listener if you want to know when the bubble is clicked

java
popupBubble.setPopupBubbleListener(new PopupBubble.PopupBubbleClickListener() { @Override public void bubbleClicked(Context context) { //popup_bubble is clicked } });

Attach with your RecyclerView

java
//necessary to add popupBubble.setRecyclerView(recyclerView);

#Helper Methods
Hide/Show PopupBubble according to your need

java
popupBubble.hide(); popupBubble.show();

Control Animations
Set false if you dont want any animations. Default value is true.

java
popupBubble.withAnimation(false);

Update text dynamically
Call this method before the activate method to set the new text.

java
popupBubble.updateText("10 new stories");

Update icon dynamically
Call this method before the activate method to set the new Icon.

java
popupBubble.updateIcon(R.drawable.new_icon);

Update typeface of text dynamically
Call this method before the activate method to set the new Typeface.

java
popupBubble.updateTypeFace(myCustomTypeface);

Most Important

Now <b>download/fetch new content</b> in background and then notify your recyclerview adapter about range of items added and finally <b>activate the PopupBubble</b> to make it appear with animation (if not set false).

java
//Own logic for fetching new content ..... adapter.notifyItemRangeInserted(0,size_of_new_items_added); // size_of_new_items_added = 10 if 10 new items are added. popupBubble.activate();
