ForegroundViews

Views that supports a foreground, like FrameLayout does. Inspired by Chris Banes' gist and this post.

Gradle Dependency

Easily reference the library in your Android projects using this dependency in your module's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.commit451:foregroundviews:1.0.0'
}

Usage

Usage is very similar for each of the foreground views. Within XML:

<com.commit451.foregroundimageview.ForegroundLinearLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:clickable="true"
  android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:padding="16dp">

  <!-- Other views go here -->

</com.commit451.foregroundimageview.ForegroundLinearLayout>

for ViewGroups and:

<com.commit451.foregroundimageview.ForegroundImageView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
  android:clickable="true"
  android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
  android:src="@drawable/header_image_1"
  android:tint="@color/colorAccent" />

for an ImageView. The key is the foreground XML attribute, which can also be set in code:

Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.foreground);
ForegroundImageView foregroundImageView = (ForegroundImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
foregroundImageView.setForeground(drawable);
