JarCastingAndroid BadgedImageView
Easily add badges to an ImageView to describe its content.
Recently, in Talon for Twitter, one of my challenges was that you couldn't tell if media was a GIF, video, YouTube, etc. All the images just had the generic play button on them. This library, based off of Plaid, was my way to fix that.
Google+ uses a very similar style in their own app.
Features
Place a badge over the top of the ImageView to describe its content.
- Use any text you like
- Change the badge color
- Change the placement of the badge using
Gravity - Change the padding on the badge
Installation
There are two ways to use this library:
As a Gradle dependency
This is the preferred way. Simply add:
dependencies {
compile 'com.klinkerapps:badged_imageview:1.0.5'
}
to your project dependencies and run ./gradlew build or ./gradlew assemble.
As a library project
Download the source code and import it as a library project in Eclipse. The project is available in the folder library. For more information on how to do this, read here.
Example Usage
Functionality can be found in the example's MainActivity. Badges on BadgedImageView can be added (or changed) from code:
badgedIv.setBadge("YouTube", Color.RED);
badgedIv.setBadge("GIF"); // default badge color is white
or they can be defined in XML layout:
<com.klinker.android.badged_imageview.BadgedImageView
android:id="@+id/badged_iv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:src="@drawable/gif"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:badgeGravity="start|bottom"
app:badgePadding="12dp"
app:badgeColor="@android:color/white"
app:badgeText="GIF" />
