Usage

Dependencies

• Step 1: Add the JitPack repository in your project build.gradle file

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

or

If Android studio version is Arctic Fox or upper then add it in your settings.gradle:

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

• Step 2: Add the dependency in your app module build.gradle file

dependencies {
		    ...
	        implementation 'com.github.Mindinventory:MIStoryView:x.x.x'
	}

Implementation

• Step 1 : Provide a list of stories. (Note : Use MiUserStoryModel class only to provide list of stories and for json file see in assets folder of demo app.)

    class MainViewModel : ViewModel() {
        val mListOfUsers: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel> = ArrayList()
  
        fun readAssetsData(context: Context): String {
    	val json: String?
    	try {
    	    val inputStream = context.assets.open("storyData.json")
    	    val size = inputStream.available()
    	    val buffer = ByteArray(size)
    	    inputStream.read(buffer)
    	    inputStream.close()
    	    json = java.lang.String(buffer, "UTF-8").toString()
  
    	    mListOfUsers.addAll(
    		Gson().fromJson(
    		    json, object : TypeToken<ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel?>?>() {}.type
    		)
    	    )
    	} catch (ex: IOException) {
    	    ex.printStackTrace()
    	    return ""
    	}
    	return json
        }
  
        fun updateListOfUser(mListOfUsers: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel>) {
    	this.mListOfUsers.clear()
    	this.mListOfUsers.addAll(mListOfUsers)
        }
    }
  

• Step 2 : Inflate recyclerview in your layout file.

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/rvStory"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:clipToPadding="false"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:padding="@dimen/dp_8"
            app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            tools:listitem="@layout/item_user_story" />
  

• Step 3 : Create a recyclerview row item, which consists MiStoryView class.

    // See row item of sample app.
  

• Step 4 : Create an adapter object and a resultAPI launcher to launch story detail view from your activity.

    class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
            // This is necessary snippet to listen the changes of seen stories data,
            // when user come back to the origin activity.
  
            private val launcher =
                    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) {
                    try {
                            if (it.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                                    val list = arrayListOf<MiUserStoryModel>()
  
                                    it.data?.hasExtra(MiStoryDisplayActivity.MI_LIST_OF_STORY)
                                    ?.let { hasMiStoryList ->
                                         if (hasMiStoryList) {
                                            it.data?.getParcelableArrayListExtra<MiUserStoryModel>(
                                            MiStoryDisplayActivity.MI_LIST_OF_STORY
                                            )?.let { listOfUserStories ->
                                                    list.addAll(listOfUserStories)
                                            }
                                         }
                                    }
  
                                    if (!mViewModel.mListOfUsers.containsAll(list)) {
                                         storyAdapter.setUserStoryData(list)
                                         mViewModel.updateListOfUser(list)
                                    }
                            }
                    } catch (e: Exception) {
                            e.printStackTrace()
                    }
            }
  
            // onCreateView here and invoke initView() method in it.
  
            private fun initView() {
                    // Initialize your adapter here.
                    // Provide launcher and list of stories from viewmodel for example
                    // in constructor of that adapter.
  
                    with(mBinding.rvStory) {
                        ...
                        storyAdapter = StoryAdapter(mViewModel.mListOfUsers, { launcher }, { this@MainActivity })
                        adapter = storyAdapter
                    }
            }
    }
  

• Step 5 : Create a recyclerview adapter. Must implement touch event of root view and dispatch that event to MiStoryView to launch Story detail view.

    class StoryAdapter(
            private val launcher: ActivityResultLauncher<Intent>,
            private val launcherCallBack: () -> ActivityResultLauncher<Intent>,
            private val activityCallBack: () -> AppCompatActivity
    ) : RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {
            override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
                    // inflate your row item layout here
            }
  
            @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
            override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {
                    if (holder is StoryViewHolder) {
                            holder.mBinding.apply {
                                    // Dispatch touch event of root view
                                    // to MiStoryView to open full screen
                                    // story preview view.
                                    root.setOnTouchListener { view, motionEvent ->
                                            msvStory.dispatchTouchEvent(motionEvent)
                                            true
                                    }
  
                                    msvStory.apply {
                                            setActivity(activityCallBack.invoke())
                                            setLauncher(launcherCallBack.invoke())
                                            if (listOfUseStory.isNotEmpty()) {
                                                    setImageUrls(listOfUseStory, holder.adapterPosition)
                                            }
                                    }
                                    tvUserName.text = mDataList[holder.adapterPosition].userName
                            }
                    }
            }
  
            // Other override methods here
            // Define viewholder class here
            
            fun setUserStoryData(mDataList: ArrayList<MiUserStoryModel>) {
                this.listOfUseStory.clear()
                this.listOfUseStory = mDataList
                notifyDataSetChanged()
            }
    }
