Hauler

Hauler

How to use

Activity which is meant to be dismissed must contain HaulerView as a root view and NestedScrollView (or other View what supports nested scroll)
as its child. Make sure your NestedScrollview's attribute android:fillViewport is set to true otherwise it might not behave as
expected:

<com.thefuntasty.hauler.HaulerView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/haulerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fillViewport="true">
            
            <!-- your layout-->
            
    </androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
</com.thefuntasty.hauler.HaulerView>

Secondly, define translucent floating Theme and assign it to the Activity you want to give dismiss ability:

<style name="AppTheme.Draggable" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
       <item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
       <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
       <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
       <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
       <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
       <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/dark_gray</item>
</style>

<activity
        android:name=".draggable.SimpleUsageActivity"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.Draggable"/>

Set onDragDismissListener to react properly to user dismiss request. Example implementation might look like this:

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        // ...

        haulerView.setOnDragDismissedListener {
            finish() // finish activity when dismissed
        }
    }

Customization

There are few styleable attributes you might want to use to customize your HaulerView:

<com.thefuntasty.hauler.HaulerView
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"
       app:dragDismissDistance="112dp"
       app:dragDismissFraction="0.9"
       app:dragElasticity="0.7"
       app:dragDismissScale="0.95"/>
Attribute name Type Default value Description
app:dragDismissDistance dimen 100dp Distance which should be View swiped to consider Activity as dismissed
app:dragDismissFraction float unspecified <0;1> - Fraction of View's height we should reach swiping to consider Activity as dismissed
app:dragElasticity float 0.8 <0;1> - Toughness of swipe. Higher value indicates more rigid feeling
app:dragDismissScale float 0.95 <0;1> - Scale factor of View while performing swipe action
app:dragUpEnabled boolean false Flag indicating if drag up dismiss gesture is enabled

Attributes dragDismissDistance and dragDismissFraction are exclusive. Do not use them together.
