DrawMe

With DrawMe you can easily create views with custom background shapes using only XML layout files. Quick example:

Standard way:

<!--drawable/back.xml-->
<shape 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <corners android:radius="5dp" />
    <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
    <stroke
        android:width="3dp"
        android:color="@android:color/black" />
</shape>


<!--layout/activity_main.xml-->
<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:background="@drawable/back.xml"/>

With DrawMe:

<com.rafakob.drawme.DrawMeFrameLayout
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    drawme:dm_backColor="@android:color/white"
    drawme:dm_strokeColor="@android:color/black"
    drawme:dm_radius="5dp"
    drawme:dm_stroke="3dp"/>

Library also supports different states: normal, pressed, disabled. It means that you can define different background and stroke colors for each state. The best thing about it is that DrawMe is "compatible" with pre and post Lollipop. On API +21 it uses native ripple press effect, and below it uses standard StateListDrawable. Here's example:

Standard way:

<!--drawable/custom_button.xml-->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorDarkGray"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_pressed="false">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorButtonGreen"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_pressed="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorButtonGreenFocused"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>


<!--drawable-v21/custom_button.xml-->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="@color/colorDarkGray"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_enabled="true">
        <ripple
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:color="@color/colorButtonGreenFocused">
            <item>
                <color android:color="@color/colorButtonGreen"/>
            </item>
        </ripple>
    </item>
</selector>


<!--layout/activity_main.xml-->
<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="@drawable/custom_button.xml"/>

With DrawMe:

<com.rafakob.drawme.DrawMeButton
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    drawme:dm_backColor="@color/colorButtonGreen"
    drawme:dm_backColorPressed="@color/colorButtonGreenFocused"
    drawme:dm_backColorDisabled="@color/colorDarkGray"
    drawme:dm_shapeRadiusHalfHeight="true"/>

Result

Pre Lollipop

API +21

Install

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

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

Add the dependency:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.rafakob:DrawMe:VERSION'
}

Features

Provided attributes are only accessiable from XML, you can't modify them from JAVA code (at least for now).

I tried to use as many default values as possible, so that user wouldn't have to specify too many attributes and colors. For instance you can define background color only for a normal state - pressed and disabled will be generated.

To fully understand everything just play around with it for a while. No rocket science here :)

EXAMPLES

Background shape

Attribute Format Default Description
dm_stroke dimension 0 Stroke width.
dm_radius dimension 0 Corner radius.
dm_radiusBottomLeft dimension -1 "-1" means that attribute will be ignored.
dm_radiusBottomRight dimension -1 as above
dm_radiusTopLeft dimension -1 as above
dm_radiusTopRight dimension -1 as above
dm_shapeRadiusHalfHeight boolean false True - use "full radius", other radius dimensions will be ignored.
dm_shapeEqualWidthHeight boolean false True - shape will have equal height and width.
  • Set dm_shapeRadiusHalfHeight and dm_shapeEqualWidthHeight in order to create a circle.
  • You can combine dm_radius with other radius dimensions, it works just like padding.

States and ripple

Attribute Format Default Description
dm_rippleEffect boolean true True - use ripple effect on API +21. False - use standard StateListDrawable on all devices.
dm_rippleUseControlHighlight boolean true Use theme attribute R.attr.colorControlHighlight as a ripple color. It's avaiable only on +21, and it's basically a 1F000000 color. On lower API "mimic" this highlight by mixing background color with a black mask (it should look almost the same as on +21). Matters only when pressed background color hasn't been specified.
dm_statePressed boolean true True - create pressed state. False - ignore it.
dm_stateDisabled boolean true True - create disabled state. False - ignore it.

First button is in normal state. Second is pressed with default ripple highlight. Third one uses custom color as pressed ripple effect:

Colors

Attribute Format Default Description
dm_backColor color Color.TRANSPARENT Background color - default state.
dm_backColorPressed color Dark highlight (like ripple) Background color - pressed state.
dm_backColorDisabled color Grayed out backColor Background color - disabled state.
dm_strokeColor color Color.GRAY Stroke color - default state.
dm_strokeColorPressed color Dark highlight (like ripple) Stroke color - pressed state.
dm_strokeColorDisabled color Grayed out strokeColor Stroke color - disabled state.
  • If you're not gonna define any attribute, view will have transaprent borderless background with pressed state like ripple effect.
  • Use android:stateListAnimator="@null" to disable default press shadow/elevation on +21.

Layouts

Avaiable layouts:

  • DrawMeFrameLayout
  • DrawMeLinearLayout
  • DrawMeRelativeLayout
  • DrawMeImageButton

All above attributes can be applied to them.

TextViews

Avaiable views:

  • DrawMeButton
  • DrawMeTextView
  • DrawMeEditText
Attribute Format Default Description
dm_font string null Name of a custom font, eg. Lato-Regular.ttf.
dm_textColor color System default Text color - default state. Same as android:textColor.
dm_textColorPressed color textColor Text color - pressed state.
dm_textColorDisabled color textColor Text color - disabled state.
dm_drawableTint color none Equivalent to android:drawableTint but it's compatible with preLollipop devices.
dm_drawableTintMode enum none Equivalent to android:drawableTintMode but it's compatible with preLollipop devices.
  • Custom fonts has to be put in assets/fonts. Library uses font caching.
  • Tintintg is performed using DrawableCompat.wrap() method.

Advanced - mask, adaptive highlight

Attribute Format Default
dm_maskColorPressed color #1F00000
dm_maskColorPressedInverse color #1DFFFFFF
dm_maskColorDisabled color #6DFFFFFF
dm_maskBrightnessThreshold float [0 - 1] 0

By default ripple color is just a blackish shadow over normal state color. I've added an option to adjust that shadow mask. Same applies to disabled color. Just modify dm_maskColorPressed and dm_maskColorDisabled:

But what when I have a black or very dark buttons? Ripple effect won't be visiable. In that case you have three options:

  • leave it as is
  • change dm_maskColorPressed to a lighter color
  • use an adaptive method by modifing dm_maskBrightnessThreshold

So how the adaption works?

  • Library calculates background color brightness: 0.0 means that background is black, 1.0 means it's white.
  • Compare background brightness with dm_maskBrightnessThreshold. If it's lower than use dm_maskColorPressedInverse instead of dm_maskColorPressed.

Example:

  • maskBrightnessThreshold = 0.2
  • Button X has background brightness 0.8 -> use dm_maskColorPressed -> ripple will be darker than background color
  • Button Y has background brightness 0.1 -> use dm_maskColorPressedInverse -> ripple will be lighter than background color
