I would like to make a popup box like facebook android app which opens up on pressing the comments button. i want to design the same kind of pop-up for my application . Can anyone let me know how it can be build or just guide me what is the requirement to design that kind of thing.
Thanks.
you can achieve it through
PopupWindow
Here is the procedure of calling popup window over activity or fragment.
Facebook using Rebound Library for awesome swing animations. But i used normal xml animation files for that.
popup_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/headerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some One and 20 Others Like this"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_margin="5dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="@+id/commentsListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@id/headerLayout"
android:layout_above="@+id/comment_section"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/comment_section"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="50dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
>
<ImageView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

</RelativeLayout>
popup Animation in style.xml
<!-- PopuP Enter Exit Animation -->
<style name="PopupAnimation" parent="Widget.AppCompat.PopupWindow">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/bottom_up</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@anim/bottom_down</item>
</style>
Java Method to call PopUpWindow
// call this method when required to show popup
public void onShowPopup(View v){
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
// inflate the custom popup layout
inflatedView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_layout, null,false);
// find the ListView in the popup layout
ListView listView = (ListView)inflatedView.findViewById(R.id.commentsListView);
LinearLayout headerView = (LinearLayout)inflatedView.findViewById(R.id.headerLayout);
// get device size
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
final Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
// mDeviceHeight = size.y;
DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = mContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
// fill the data to the list items
setSimpleList(listView);
// set height depends on the device size
popWindow = new PopupWindow(inflatedView, width,height-50, true );
// set a background drawable with rounders corners
popWindow.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.popup_bg));
popWindow.setInputMethodMode(PopupWindow.INPUT_METHOD_NEEDED);
popWindow.setHeight(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
popWindow.setAnimationStyle(R.style.PopupAnimation);
// show the popup at bottom of the screen and set some margin at bottom ie,
popWindow.showAtLocation(v, Gravity.BOTTOM, 0,100);
}
Method for adding list into layout
void setSimpleList(ListView listView){
ArrayList<String> contactsList = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
contactsList.add("I am @ index " + index + " today " + Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString());
}
listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this,
R.layout.popup_list_item, android.R.id.text1, contactsList));
}
