Setting up your project credits_configs.xml

Open credits_configs.xml file that is located in /app/src/main/res/values/credits_configs.xml

This file allows you to modify cards in the about screen and it looks like this:

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:ignore="MissingTranslation">

    <string-array name="credits_photos" formatted="false" tools:ignore="TypographyDashes">
        <item>https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0mdcClKXlgM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/xgdLWeAg7pM/s120-c/photo.jpg</item>
        <item>https://ssl.gstatic.com/images/branding/product/2x/avatar_square_grey_512dp.png</item>
    </string-array>

    <string-array name="credits_titles">
        <item>Your Name</item>
        <item>Another Name</item>
    </string-array>

    <string-array name="credits_descriptions">
        <item>Details of first credited person</item>
        <item>Details of another credited person</item>
    </string-array>

    <string-array name="credits_buttons">
        <item>Google+|Instagram</item>
        <item>Facebook|Website|Twitter</item>
    </string-array>

    <string-array name="credits_links">
        <item>https://www.google.com/+JahirFiquitivaR|http://instagram.com/jahirfiquitiva</item>
        <item>https://facebook.com/|https://www.jahirfiquitiva.me/|https://twitter.com/jahirfiquitiva</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>

It works in a very simple way. By default each string-array has 2 <item> tags. This makes the about section display 2 cards with app creators.

If you want to add/remove a number of cards in about screen, simply add/remove <item> tags.

What does each string-array do

In order to add your text or link, simply paste it between <item></item> tags

• <string-array name="credits_photos" formatted="false" tools:ignore="TypographyDashes"> This string-array holds links to avatars/profile pictures that will be displayed in card(s). Keep in mind, that it must be a RAW link, that leads to the plain image file and not a sharing page, like you normally get by sharing files from most popular cloud services. You can find tutorials on how to get RAW links from cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive in the internet.

• <string-array name="credits_titles"> This string-array holds creators' names

• <string-array name="credits_descriptions"> This string-array holds creators' descriptions

• <string-array name="credits_buttons"> This string-array holds buttons that will have links to your webpages. You can add multiple buttons here by sepparating them with | sign eg. Link name1|Link name2. Following this example, the card in about screen will display 2 buttons labeled Link name1 and Link name2 that will open webpages that you will set up in an string-array below.

• <string-array name="credits_links"> This string-array holds links that will hide under buttons you've set up above. It works in the same way as credit buttons. Make sure to add the same number of links and buttons separated by | sign.
