The FancyGifDialog library adds a fun, interactive element to your Android app by enabling the use of GIFs in dialog boxes. This quick guide will walk you through the setup and usage of this dynamic library! Perfect for enhancing your user experience, let’s dive in.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following:

• Android Studio installed
• A project where you want to implement the FancyGifDialog

Setup Instructions

Follow these easy steps to get FancyGifDialog up and running:

Add JitPack Repository

First, add the JitPack repository in your root build.gradle file (not the module build.gradle):

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add Dependency

Next, include the library as a dependency in your module build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.Shashank02051997:FancyGifDialog-Android:1.5'
}

Creating a Fancy GIF Dialog

Now you’re ready to create your dialog. The FancyGifDialog can be customized to have one button or two buttons, depending on your needs.

Dialog with Two Buttons

Here’s how you can create a dialog with two buttons:

new FancyGifDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle("Granny eating chocolate dialog box")
    .setMessage("This is a granny eating chocolate dialog box. This library is used to help you easily create fancy GIF dialogs.")
    .setTitleTextColor(R.color.titleText)
    .setDescriptionTextColor(R.color.descriptionText)
    .setNegativeBtnText("Cancel")
    .setPositiveBtnBackground(R.color.positiveButton)
    .setPositiveBtnText("Ok")
    .setNegativeBtnBackground(R.color.negativeButton)
    .setGifResource(R.drawable.gif1)
    .isCancellable(true)
    .OnPositiveClicked(new FancyGifDialogListener() {
        @Override
        public void OnClick() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Ok", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    })
    .OnNegativeClicked(new FancyGifDialogListener() {
        @Override
        public void OnClick() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Cancel", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    })
    .build();

Dialog with One Button

If you prefer a simpler dialog with only one button, you can easily modify the code like this:

new FancyGifDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle("Granny eating chocolate dialog box")
    .setMessage("This is a granny eating chocolate dialog box. This library is used to help you easily create fancy GIF dialogs.")
    .setTitleTextColor(R.color.titleText)
    .setDescriptionTextColor(R.color.descriptionText)
    .setPositiveBtnText("Ok")
    .setPositiveBtnBackground(R.color.positiveButton)
    .setGifResource(R.drawable.gif1)
    .isCancellable(true)
    .OnPositiveClicked(new FancyGifDialogListener() {
        @Override
        public void OnClick() {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Ok", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    })
    .build();

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you are hosting a fun party and you want to entertain your guests. The FancyGifDialog acts like a jovial party host who knows exactly how to charm your guests. Just like how a host sets the mood with decorations and the right playlist, you configure the dialog with titles, messages, and GIFs.

• Your title is the theme of the party, like “Granny eating chocolate”.
• The message is like the welcome speech you give to your guests, setting the tone for the fun that’s about to unfold.
• The button actions (positive or negative) are akin to the different activities guests can partake in – it can either be dancing or playing games (i.e., confirming or cancelling a decision).

So, similar to how a host leads a party, the FancyGifDialog guides user interaction in your app, making it enjoyable.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while implementing FancyGifDialog, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that you’ve added the correct JitPack URL in the right build.gradle file.
• Double-check that your dependency matches the version mentioned on the JitPack badge to avoid conflicts.
• If GIFs aren’t displaying correctly, verify that the GIF file path is correct and that the resource exists in the drawable folder.
• To resolve any issues or seek further assistance, feel free to browse the issues page on GitHub.
