An easy to use menu view, located at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Required min API level 11

BASIC USAGE

Edit your gradle script to include the library:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.rany.albeg.wein.bottomleftmenu:bottom-left-menu:1.1.4'
}

Add the menu to your XML layout file:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    ...

    <com.rany.albeg.wein.bottomleftmenu.BottomLeftMenu
        android:id="@+id/bottom_left_menu"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

        <!-- Custom attributes ( values are set to default in this example ): -->

        app:blm_itemNormalStateColor="@android:color/transparent"
        app:blm_itemPressedStateColor="#0099cc"
        app:blm_itemTextColor="@android:color/black"
        app:blm_itemTextSize="12sp"
        app:blm_openCloseAnimation="bottom_top" <!-- More options are: left_right and fade_in-->
        app:blm_showDivider="true"
        app:blm_dividerHeight="1dp"
        app:blm_dividerColor="#d3d3d3">

    </com.rany.albeg.wein.bottomleftmenu.BottomLeftMenu>

</RelativeLayout>

Use the menu in java code, like so:

mMenu = (BottomLeftMenu) findViewById(R.id.bottom_left_menu);
/*
 * Populate the menu with views.
 */
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_action_settings, R.string.settings, _MENU_ID_SETTINGS);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_action_about, R.string.about, _MENU_ID_ABOUT);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_rating_good, R.string.rate, _MENU_ID_RATE);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_action_search, R.string.search, _MENU_ID_SEARCH);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_social_share, R.string.share, _MENU_ID_SHARE);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_collections_cloud, R.string.upload, _MENU_ID_UPLOAD);
mMenu.addMenuItem(R.drawable.ic_social_send_now, R.string.send, _MENU_ID_SEND);
/*
 * Set a listener for click events.
 */
mMenu.setOnBottomLeftMenuItemClickListener(this);

Handle click events:

@Override
public void onClick(BottomLeftMenuItem item) {
    /*
     * getIdentifier(), not getId()
     */
    int id = item.getIdentifier();

    if (id == _MENU_ID_UPLOAD) {
        /* Upload something */
    }
    else if (id == _MENU_ID_SHARE) {
        /* Share something */
    }
    else if (id == _MENU_ID_SEND) {
        /* Send something */
    }

    // etc...
}

MORE FEATURES

1. Get a reference to each one of the items in the menu, by:

BottomLeftMenuItem item = mMenu.getMenuItemAt(index);
TextView itemText= item.getTextView();
ImageView itemIcon = item.getImageView();

2. Implement your own custom animation for opening and closing the menu:

mMenu.setOpenCloseAnimation(new OpenCloseAnimation(this) {
    
    @Override
    public Animation open() {
        /* Return an Animation object for opening the menu. */
    }
    
    @Override
    public Animation close() {
        /* Return an Animation object for closing the menu. */
    }
});

EXTRA

You might want to override onBackPressed() and onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) for opening and closing the menu:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {

        if (mMenu.isOpened())
            mMenu.closeMenu();
        else {
            mMenu.openMenu();
        }
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

    if (mMenu.isOpened()) {
        mMenu.closeMenu();
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}
