Awesome-looking customizable splash screen
Splash screens have been around for quite a while. It's the first thing the users see when they run your app, so make it simple yet eventful and impressionable. This library does exactly that, provides you with beautiful template screen, with wide range of customizations to fit your concept of the splash screen. To be noted, with the last acknowledgement form google that splash screens got, having a library that tackles this issue is kind of necessity.
Ready to see implementation details? Let's scroll.
What the library is capable of is shown in this youtube video:
You can download the demo app [here] (https://github.com/ViksaaSkool/AwesomeSplash/blob/master/rdme/awesome_splash_demo.apk?raw=true)
This library is based and utilizes 3 great libraries:
So before diving into AwesomeSplash library, look into the libraries. Especially make sure you understand the concept of SVG path and look deeply on how to create you custom svg (and get the string values needed for AwesomeSplash).
Add this to your settings.gradle:
repositories {
//...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}and then in dependencies:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.ViksaaSkool:AwesomeSplash:v1.0.0'
}Here is how you utilize the library in your Kotlin code:
//extends AwesomeSplash!
class YourActivity : AwesomeSplash() {
//DO NOT OVERRIDE onCreate()!
//if you need to start some services do it in initSplash()!
override fun initSplash(configSplash: ConfigSplash?) {
/* you don't have to override every property */
configSplash?.let {
//Customize Circular Reveal
it.backgroundColor = R.color.purple_500 //any color you want from colors.xml
it.animCircularRevealDuration = 2000 //int ms
it.revealFlagX = Flags.REVEAL_RIGHT //or Flags.REVEAL_LEFT
it.revealFlagY = Flags.REVEAL_BOTTOM //or Flags.REVEAL_TOP
//Choose LOGO OR PATH; if you don't provide String value for path it's logo by default
//Customize Logo
it.logoSplash = R.mipmap.ic_launcher //or any other drawable
it.animLogoSplashDuration = 3000 //int ms
it.animLogoSplashTechnique = Techniques.Bounce //choose one form Techniques (ref: https://github.com/daimajia/AndroidViewAnimations)
//Customize Path
it.pathSplash = Constants.DROID_LOGO //set path String
it.originalHeight = 400 //in relation to your svg (path) resource
it.originalWidth = 400 //in relation to your svg (path) resource
it.animPathStrokeDrawingDuration = 3000
it.pathSplashStrokeSize = 3 //I advise value be <5
it.pathSplashStrokeColor = R.color.teal_200 //any color you want from colors.xml
it.animPathFillingDuration = 3000
it.pathSplashFillColor = R.color.white //path object filling color
//Customize Title
it.titleSplash = "My Awesome App"
it.titleTextColor = R.color.white
it.titleTextSize = 30f //float value
it.animTitleDuration = 3000
it.animTitleTechnique = Techniques.Bounce
it.titleFont = "fonts/myfont.ttf" //provide string to your font located in assets/fonts/
}
}
override fun animationsFinished() {
//transit to another activity here
//or do whatever you want
}
}Here is how you utilize the library in your Java code:
//extends AwesomeSplash!
public class YourActivity extends AwesomeSplash {
//DO NOT OVERRIDE onCreate()!
//if you need to start some services do it in initSplash()!
@Override
public void initSplash(ConfigSplash configSplash) {
/* you don't have to override every property */
//Customize Circular Reveal
configSplash.setBackgroundColor(R.color.purple_500); //any color you want form colors.xml
configSplash.setAnimCircularRevealDuration(2000); //int ms
configSplash.setRevealFlagX(Flags.REVEAL_RIGHT); //or Flags.REVEAL_LEFT
configSplash.setRevealFlagY(Flags.REVEAL_BOTTOM); //or Flags.REVEAL_TOP
//Choose LOGO OR PATH; if you don't provide String value for path it's logo by default
//Customize Logo
configSplash.setLogoSplash(R.mipmap.ic_launcher); //or any other drawable
configSplash.setAnimLogoSplashDuration(2000); //int ms
configSplash.setAnimLogoSplashTechnique(Techniques.Bounce); //choose one form Techniques (ref: https://github.com/daimajia/AndroidViewAnimations)
//Customize Path
configSplash.setPathSplash(Constants.DROID_LOGO); //set path String
configSplash.setOriginalHeight(400); //in relation to your svg (path) resource
configSplash.setOriginalWidth(400); //in relation to your svg (path) resource
configSplash.setAnimPathStrokeDrawingDuration(3000);
configSplash.setPathSplashStrokeSize(3); //I advise value be <5
configSplash.setPathSplashStrokeColor(R.color.accent); //any color you want form colors.xml
configSplash.setAnimPathFillingDuration(3000);
configSplash.setPathSplashFillColor(R.color.Wheat); //path object filling color
//Customize Title
configSplash.setTitleSplash("My Awesome App");
configSplash.setTitleTextColor(R.color.white);
configSplash.setTitleTextSize(30f); //float value
configSplash.setAnimTitleDuration(3000);
configSplash.setAnimTitleTechnique(Techniques.FlipInX);
configSplash.setTitleFont("fonts/myfont.ttf"); //provide string to your font located in assets/fonts/
}
@Override
public void animationsFinished() {
//transit to another activity here
//or do whatever you want
}
