Showroom

Showroom is an image gallery library built for Android. The aim of this library is to provide a single view component that provides an image gallery experience almost completely out-of-the-box with as little configuration from the consumer as possible. The project utilizes Kotlin and is very much in active development.

^{Note: currently the project is using a Release Canditate version of the AndroidX Core KTX library, this is to get access to the latest compatibility APIs that the library has to offer due to issues with immersive mode pre version 1.5.0.}

Features

The project makes use of the following features:

• Highly customizable
• Pre-defined customizable gallery UI
• Optional infinite image scrolling
• Immersion toggling
• Support for API versions 21 to 30
• Simple design

Third Party Libraries

Dependency

This library is currently accessible via JitPack and can therefore be used in your project by adding the following to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.maxhvesser:showroom:1.1.5'
}

Setup

Please see the sameple app for a more detailed example of a suggested way to setup this project in your own app.

Initial setup

Showroom should be instantiated by calling the provided attach() function:

showroom.attach((activity as AppCompatActivity), provideGalleryData())

Whereby activity must by of type AppCompatActivity and provideGalleryData must be of type List<GalleryData>

Exiting the gallery

In the case of supporting custom routines when click the 'exit' icon in the gallery the following callback is provided:

showroom.setNavigationExitEvent { /** exit routine */  }

Further to this, Showroom provides a function to reset the activity state upon exit, you may choose to use this in, for example onDestroy or inside of an onBackPressed event:

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()
    showroom.restoreWindowPreGallery()
}

Display cutout

For devices running Android 9 (API level 28) and above, there is a possiblity that the device will have a cutout. Therefore it is strongly encouraged that you support display cutouts in your app. If you don't then unexpected graphical issues will occur when entering/exiting immersive mode. A suggested way to support display cutouts is by adding the following to your MainActivity:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
        window.attributes.layoutInDisplayCutoutMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES
    }
}
