Usage

As HexGrid is developed on top of RecyclerView in order to obtain a Hexagonal Grid, you only have to implement a normal RecyclerView using the custom elements provided (SpacesItemDecoration, HexAdapter and CustomItemClickListener).

1. You have to create a layout file which contains the RecyclerView.

   <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
           android:id="@+id/tiles"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"
           android:background="@color/sea"/>

2. Calculate spacingInPixels (separation between hexagons in a grid), create a new SpacesItemDecoration with the spacing previously calculated and add it to the view.

   tilesView.addItemDecoration(new SpacesItemDecoration(spacingInPixels));

3. Instantiate a LayoutManager, establish the number of spans occupied by each item in the adapter (e.g. 1-2-1-...-1-2-1) and set the manager to the view.

   layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(this, SPAN_COUNT, LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL, false);
   layoutManager.setSpanSizeLookup(spanSeries);
   tilesView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

4. Instantiate a new HexAdapter with a CustomItemClickListener and set the adapter to the view.

   tilesAdapter = new HexAdapter(tiles, onClickListener);
   tilesView.setAdapter(tilesAdapter);

Add it to your project

If you are working with gradle, add the dependency to your build.gradle file:

dependencies{
    compile 'com.pguardiola:hexgrid:0.0.4'
}

if you are working with maven, do it into your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.pguardiola</groupId>
    <artifactId>hexgrid</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.4</version>
    <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Do you want to contribute? TODO

• Calculate the correct spacing and fix SpacesItemDecoration to put the hexagon items closely (as a real grid)
• Define custom attributes
• Support multiple hexagon custom views in HexAdapter.ViewHolder
• Support background images in hexagon custom views

Feel free to report or add any useful feature to the library.
