ChipsLover

This repository provides an implementation of a material chip. Chips represent complex entities in small blocks, such as a contact. Also it could be used to represent a category or a simple tag.

I followed the guidelines from the Material Design website during the implementation of this library. However, I have also added additional functionality such as a ChipsLayout, default animations, selections, color customization, text appearance, etc.

Take a glance at the demo:

Also I've created the customization sheet in the sample, so go ahead and download the sample, and you'll get a chance to poke around in the library a little bit:

How to use?

Check out all properties you can set to the ChipView as well as ChipsLayout here. They should be intuitive, well, at least I tried to make them so; if it's not the case then I failed miserably.

Note!

If you are going to use the ChipsLayout view, you may find yourself in a situation where the chips have completely occupied the screen, so in this case you will not be able to scroll your layout. The solution is to wrap the ChipsLayout up into a ScrollView or NestedScrollView (if you're using a CoordinatorLayout).

Check out these XML examples:

   <com.vpaliy.chips_lover.ChipsLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="8dp"
        android:id="@+id/chips"
	app:chipCloseable="true"
	app:chipSelectable="true"
        app:chip_backgroundColor="#bbdefb"
	app:chip_selectedBackgroundColor="#424242"
        app:chipTextStyle="@style/Widget.HashTag"
        app:chipTextColor="@color/blue_grey_700"
        app:chipDefaultAnimation="true"
        app:chipFrontIcon="@drawable/image"
        app:chip_layout_horizontal_margin="10dp"
        app:chip_layout_vertical_margin="10dp">
</com.vpaliy.chips_lover.ChipsLayout>

Another one:

<com.vpaliy.chips_lover.ChipView
        android:id="@+id/chip"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chip_text="Chip text"
	app:chipCloseable="true"
	app:chipSelectable="true"
        app:chip_backgroundColor="#bbdefb"
	app:chipTextColor="@color/blue_grey_700"
	app:chipDefaultAnimation="false"
	app:chip_selectedBackgroundColor="#424242"
        app:chipTextStyle="@style/Widget.HashTag"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp">
</com.vpaliy.chips_lover.ChipView>

How to download?
