Build expandable descendant navigation, inspired by Google Inbox

InboxRecyclerView is a library for building expandable descendant navigation inspired by Google Inbox and Reply, and is an easy drop-in into existing projects. You can take a look at the sample app for best practices or download its APK for trying it out on your phone. If you're interested in learning how it was created, here's an in-depth blog post.

implementation 'me.saket:inboxrecyclerview:3.0.0'

Usage

Layout

<me.saket.inboxrecyclerview.InboxRecyclerView
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<me.saket.inboxrecyclerview.page.ExpandablePageLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:background="@color/same_as_your_list_items">

  <!--
    Your expandable content will live here. Make sure that
    your page has a higher z-index than the list by giving
    it a higher view position or a higher elevation.
  -->
</me.saket.inboxrecyclerview.page.ExpandablePageLayout>

Expanding content

recyclerView.itemExpandAnimator = ItemExpandAnimator.scale() // or split() / none()
recyclerView.dimPainter = DimPainter.listAndPage(Color.WHITE, alpha = 0.65f)

recyclerView.expandablePage = findViewById(...).also {
  it.pushParentToolbarOnExpand(toolbar)
  it.addOnPullListener(PageCollapseEligibilityHapticFeedback(it))
}

recyclerViewAdapter.onItemClick = { clickedItem ->
  // Load or update your content inside the page here.
  recyclerView.expandItem(clickedItem.adapterId)
}

How do I…

• customize item expand animations?
• control the pull-to-collapse gesture?
• change background dimming?
• listen to state changes?
• expand items without using Long based adapter IDs?

Pull collapsible activities

To maintain consistency across your whole app, a PullCollapsibleActivity is also included that brings the same animations and gesture to activities with little effort.

Step 1. Extend PullCollapsibleActivity.

Step 2. Add these attributes to the activity’s theme:

<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
