Android UI library that creates 'chip' clouds

ChipCloud

ChipCloud is an Android view (very) quickly knocked up for a larger hackathon project, it creates a wrapping cloud of single choice 'Chips' (see screenshot below).

Basic demo available on the Play Store:

Usage

Add to your Android layout xml:

<eu.fiskur.chipcloud.ChipCloud
    android:id="@+id/chip_cloud"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Configure in xml:

<eu.fiskur.chipcloud.ChipCloud
    xmlns:chipcloud="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/chip_cloud"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    chipcloud:deselectedColor="@color/deselected_color"
    chipcloud:deselectedFontColor="@color/deselected_font_color"
    chipcloud:selectedColor="@color/selected_color"
    chipcloud:selectedFontColor="@color/selected_font_color"
    chipcloud:deselectTransitionMS="500"
    chipcloud:selectTransitionMS="750"/>

or in code:

ChipCloud chipCloud = (ChipCloud) findViewById(R.id.chip_cloud);

new ChipCloud.ChipCloudBuilder()
        .chipCloud(chipCloud)
        .selectedColor(Color.parseColor("#ff00cc"))
        .selectedFontColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"))
        .unselectedColor(Color.parseColor("#e1e1e1"))
        .unselectedFontColor(Color.parseColor("#333333"))
        .selectTransitionMS(500)
        .deselectTransitionMS(250)
        .chipListener(new ChipListener() {
            @Override
            public void chipSelected(int index) {
                //...
            }
        })
        .build();

Then add your items:

chipCloud.addChip("Foo");
chipCloud.addChip("Bar");

Which produces:

Set the selected index using chipCloud.setSelectedChip(2)

Real-world example for shoe sizes:

##Dependency

Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle, eg:

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

then add the dependency to your project build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.github.fiskurgit:ChipCloud:2.0.0'
}

You can find the latest version in the releases tab above: https://github.com/fiskurgit/ChipCloud/releases
