Curve View

This view used to draw custom backgrounds that support:

1. curved shapes
2. gradient colors
3. shadows of different colors

Installation

1. Add maven to project-level gradle file

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

2. Add the dependency in your module-level gradle file

dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.github.haytham-c01:CurveView:LATEST_RELEASE'
}

Attributes

Control Points

These points define the shape of the curve (look for bezier curves to know more...)

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
firstControlPointX	percentage of first control point x position	float(range 0-1)	0.4f
firstControlPointY	percentage of the height of first control point in proportion to view height	float(range 0-2)	1.2f
secondControlPointX	percentage of second control point x position	float(range 0-1)	0.5f
secondControlPointY	percentage of the height of second control point in proportion to view height	float(range 0-2)	0.8f

NOTES:

1. in x percentage 0 -> LEFT of the view, AND 1 -> RIGHT of the view
2. in y percentage 0 -> TOP of the view, AND 1 -> BOTTOM of the view

TIPS:

1. y value can be < 1 to produce up curve, or > 1 to produce up curve
2. setting y value for both points to One will produce straight line
3. use same values for first and second control points to convert it into a single control point

Gradient

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
startColor	gradient start color	color	Cayn
startColorX	percentage of start color x position	float(range 0-1)	0.1f
startColorY	percentage of start color y position	float(range 0-1)	0.0f
endColor	gradient end color	color	Yellow
endColorX	percentage of end color x position	float(range 0-1)	0.65f
endColorY	percentage of end color y position	float(range 0-1)	1f

NOTES:

1. in x percentage 0 -> LEFT of the view AND 100 -> RIGHT of the view
2. in y percentage 0 -> TOP of the view AND 100 -> BOTTOM of the view
3. use same color for start and end values to get solid (not gradient) background

Shadow

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
curveShadowRadius	the shadowRadius of customShadow	dimention	0f
curveShadowColor	shadow color	color	Black

Important Guide

There is 2 ways to set shadow

1. Using elevation, this requires
   • elevation attr > 0
   • convex shape (path.isConvex = true)
2. Using the custom attribute defined above, this requires
   • curveShadowRadius > 0
   • android:clipChildren of parent layouts = false

if both used, material elevation (1st point) will be favored
