CircularDialog is another best way of representing information or data in an Android app. You can get to see these Circular Dialogs in most of the apps which are used to display the message of completion of the process in an attractive form. In this article, we are going to see how to implement Circular Dialogs in the Android app. A sample GIF is given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article. Note that we are going to implement this project using the Java language.
Application of Circular Dialogs
- Use to represent the message in an attractive form.
- Circular Dialogs is a unique way of representing messages in the alert dialog box.
- Create a good quality User Experience.
Attributes of Circular Dialog
|
Attributes |
Description |
|---|---|
| CDConstants.SUCCESS | To display Success message on a Circular Dialog. |
| .setAnimation | Use to set Set Animation to Circular Dialog. |
| .setTextSize | Use to set Set text size in Circular Dialog. |
| .setDuration | Use to set Animation time in milliSeconds. |
| CDConstants.LARGE | Use to set the size of Dialog. |
Step by Step Implementation
Step 1: Create a New Project
To create a new project in Android Studio please refer to How to Create/Start a New Project in Android Studio. Note that select Java as the programming language.
Step 2: Add dependency and JitPack Repository
Navigate to the Gradle Scripts > build.gradle(Module:app) and add the below dependency in the dependencies section.
implementation ‘com.github.hassanusman:CircularDialogs:1.2’
Add the JitPack repository to your build file. Add it to your root build.gradle at the end of repositories inside the allprojects{ } section.
allprojects {
repositories {
…
maven { url “https://jitpack.io” }
}
}
After adding this dependency sync your project and now we will move towards its implementation.
Step 3: Working with the activity_main.xml file
Navigate to the app > res > layout > activity_main.xml and add the below code to that file. Below is the code for the activity_main.xml file.
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <!--After clicking button you will get circular dialog--> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:text="CLICK" /> </RelativeLayout> |
Step 4: Working with the MainActivity.java file
Go to the MainActivity.java file and refer to the following code. Below is the code for the MainActivity.java file. Comments are added inside the code to understand the code in more detail.
Java
import android.os.Bundle;import android.view.View;import android.widget.Button; import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; import com.example.circulardialog.CDialog;import com.example.circulardialog.extras.CDConstants; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { // Initialize button Button button; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Called button by Id button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { // Circular Dialog Box Created new CDialog(MainActivity.this).createAlert("Great", CDConstants.SUCCESS, // Type of dialog CDConstants.LARGE) // Size of dialog .setAnimation(CDConstants.SLIDE_FROM_BOTTOM_TO_TOP) // Animation for enter/exit .setDuration(2000) // in milliseconds .setTextSize(CDConstants.LARGE_TEXT_SIZE) // CDConstants.LARGE_TEXT_SIZE, // CDConstants.NORMAL_TEXT_SIZE .show(); } }); }} |
Now click on the run option it will take some time to build Gradle. After that, you will get output on your device as given below.
