Fire Like

Configurable icon animation wrapper.

Setup

Add Jitpack to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Add dependency to application build.gradle file, where x.y.z is the latest release version:

implementation "com.github.ChiliLabs:FireLike:x.y.z"

Icon emitter

Emitted icon animation is designed to be highly configurable while keeping the API as simple as possible. Each created icon is animated on it's own by calling the value providers in the configuration.

• Create IconEmitterManager in your activity or fragment (or any other UI controller). It requires root ViewGroup of current layout and configuration instance.

private lateinit var iconEmitter: IconEmitterManager

// In onCreate()
iconEmitter = IconEmitterManager(
    root = sample_root,
    config = IconEmitterConfig(
        iconResource = R.drawable.ic_thumb_blue,
        interpolatorProvider = ... ,
        durationProvider = ... ,
        translationYProvider = ... ,
        translationXProvider = ... ,
        scaleValueProvider = ... ,
        alphaValueProvider = ...
    )
)

• After view is inflated and drawn simply call iconEmitter.emitIconFromView(view) where view is the starting place of the new flying icon.

Icon emitter configuration parameters

• Icon Resource - resource id that will be used to draw each icon.

• InterpolatorProvider - returns an interpolator that is applied to all animations on single icon, may be different for different icons. More options

• DurationValueProvider - returns an amount of milliseconds that the animation will be played. More options

• TranslationValueProvider for X and Y axis - returns an array of key positions of the the icon on the respective axis beginning from position of view provided to likeManager.addLikeFromView(view). More options

• ScaleValueProvider - returns a relative scale where 1.0f equals no change, 0.5f equals to icon with half of original width and height, etc. More options

• AlphaValueProvider - returns a value between 0.0f and 1.0f where 0 - completly transparent and 1 - no transparancy. More options

Noteworthy details

• Few predefined configs are available in DefaultConfigs object. Those pre0defined configs could be easily adjusted using config.copy() or used as a reference for custom implementation.

• None of the built-in providers are dependant on time, but such features could be implemented using custom value providers.

• Animation values are pre-computed, therefore it is not possible to change animations after it has been started.

• Library is written in Kotlin for Kotlin so usage from Java, whle absolutely possible, might not be as straight-forward.

• Minimal SDK is 19

• Currently only single icon resource is supported.
