Material About

This is an Android project. You, as a mobile developer, can use this library to show a material about screen in your apps. It was build to make your life easier when introducing you to your users, and also, to create a about screen pattern for material android apps. It's really simple and dynamic, check it out.

Setup

This library requires minSdkVersion to be set to 14 or above, like the Official Support Library.

Step #1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
	...
	maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Step #2. Add the dependency (See latest release).

dependencies {
       compile 'com.github.jrvansuita:MaterialAbout:+'
}

Implementation

Create a AboutView instance with AboutBuilder.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    AboutView view = AboutBuilder.with(this)
                 .setPhoto(R.mipmap.profile_picture)
                 .setCover(R.mipmap.profile_cover)
                 .setName("Your Full Name")
                 .setSubTitle("Mobile Developer")
                 .setBrief("I'm warmed of mobile technologies. Ideas maker, curious and nature lover.")
                 .setAppIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                 .setAppName(R.string.app_name)
                 .addGooglePlayStoreLink("8002078663318221363")
                 .addGitHubLink("user")
                 .addFacebookLink("user")
                 .addFiveStarsAction()
                 .setVersionNameAsAppSubTitle()
                 .addShareAction(R.string.app_name)
                 .setWrapScrollView(true)
                 .setLinksAnimated(true)
                 .setShowAsCard(true)
                 .build();

    addContentView(view, layoutParams);
}

Additional

Getting the list of actions or links from AboutBuilder.

AboutBuilder aboutBuilder = AboutBuilder.with(this);

List<Item> actions = aboutBuilder.getActions();
List<Item> links = aboutBuilder.getActions();

Getting the view instance of any action or link from AboutView?

AboutView view = AboutBuilder.with(this)
                 ...
                 .build();

View lastLinkView = view.findItem(builder.getLastLink());
View lastActionView = view.findItem(builder.getLastAction());
