Welcome to the world of FabulousFilter, a fantastic library that brings motion to your Android applications! FabulousFilter simplifies the process of animating a FloatingActionButton (FAB) into a BottomSheetDialog, creating an engaging user experience. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the setup and usage of FabulousFilter.

Understanding the Concept

Imagine you’re at a party and you have a magic door. When you want to access a special room (the BottomSheetDialog), you simply press a button (the FAB), and voila! The door appears, sliding open gracefully. This is essentially what FabulousFilter does, effortlessly animating the transition from a FAB to a BottomSheetDialog as if by magic.

How to Set Up FabulousFilter

To get started, you’ll need to include the FabulousFilter library in your Android project. Here’s how to do that:

1. Add Gradle Dependency

Open your app-level build.gradle file and include the following dependency:

dependencies { 
    implementation 'io.github.krupen:fabulousfilter:0.0.6'
}

2. Create Your Fragment

Next, you will create a Fragment that extends AAH_FabulousFragment. Here’s a simple template for your Fragment:

public class MySampleFabFragment extends AAH_FabulousFragment {
    public static MySampleFabFragment newInstance() {
        MySampleFabFragment f = new MySampleFabFragment();
        return f;
    }

    @Override
    public void setupDialog(Dialog dialog, int style) {
        View contentView = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.filter_sample_view, null);
        RelativeLayout rl_content = contentView.findViewById(R.id.rl_content);
        LinearLayout ll_buttons = contentView.findViewById(R.id.ll_buttons);
        
        contentView.findViewById(R.id.btn_close).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                closeFilter(closed);
            }
        });

        // params to set
        setAnimationDuration(600);    // optional
        setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator()); // optional
        setPeekHeight(300);            // optional
        setCallbacks((Callbacks) getActivity()); // optional
        setAnimationListener((AnimationListener) getActivity()); // optional
        setViewgroupStatic(ll_buttons); // optional
        setViewMain(rl_content); // necessary
        setMainContentView(contentView);  // necessary
        super.setupDialog(dialog, style);  // call super at last
    }
}

3. Create Layout for Your Fragment

The layout XML must have a parent element of AAH_FilterView, which defines the structure of your BottomSheet.

<com.allattentionhere.fabulousfilter.AAH_FilterView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rl_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/ll_buttons"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="56dp"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:orientation="horizontal">
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>
</com.allattentionhere.fabulousfilter.AAH_FilterView>

4. Launch the Fragment

Finally, to display the BottomSheet, set an OnClickListener on your FAB:

fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        MySampleFabFragment dialogFrag = MySampleFabFragment.newInstance();
        dialogFrag.setParentFab(fab);
        dialogFrag.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), dialogFrag.getTag());
    }
});

Configuration Parameters

FabulousFilter offers a set of configuration options for customization:

• Main View (Required): Defines the ViewGroup to display after animation.
• Inflated Dialog View (Required): Specifies the dialog’s inflated view.
• Animation Duration (Optional): Sets how long the animation lasts (in milliseconds).
• Interpolator (Optional): Sets the interpolator for the FAB animation.
• Peek Height (Optional): Determines the minimum height of the bottom sheet.
• Callback (Optional): To receive results back from the dialog.
• Animation Listener (Optional): To listen for animation events.
• Static View (Optional): Keeps certain views static during sliding.
• ViewPager (Optional): To support scrolling with ViewPager.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues while using FabulousFilter, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:

• Ensure the library is properly added to your dependencies.
• Check for any typos in your XML file or Java code.
• Verify that your activity implements the necessary interfaces for callbacks and listeners.
• Make sure your layouts are correctly referenced in your fragment.
