Intro showcase view in Jetpack Compose 2022

Intro showcase view in Jetpack Compose

Hi, Android developer in this Intro showcase view in Jetpack Compose example we make an example to show the App feature. As you can see most Android applications add a showcase for the First time App open user. When the user opens see the App menu with a help text. In the Showcase, you can see the title of the menu and the description of the menu.

In this android jetpack example, you can get the full source code of the example. An easy step for adding this flow to your android app.  In this, example we add help text on the FlottingAction button, SearchView,  Back Button, and profile image View on the screen.

Intro showcase view in Jetpack Compose

So let’s start to make the example follow the below steps.

Step 1:-  Start your Android Studio and Create a jetpack to compose the project. 

Start your android studio and create a project to select the jetpack activity and finis. after creating a project add the below dependency in your App base Gradle build and syn project.

Dependencies 

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.7.0'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0'
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui:$compose_version"
    implementation "androidx.compose.material:material:$compose_version"
    implementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling-preview:$compose_version"
    implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx:2.4.1'
    implementation 'androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.4.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
    androidTestImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:$compose_version"
    debugImplementation "androidx.compose.ui:ui-tooling:$compose_version"
}


Step 2: Create a New Kotlin File with the name ShowCaseView.kt 

After syn, your project creates a new Kotlin file with the name ShowcaseView to make the UI of  Help text Showcase. Follow the below source code to make showcase masque UI.

        ) {
            textCoordinate = it
        }
    }
}

Step 3:  Create a  ShowCaseText Kotlin file.

make a new Kotlin file with the name ShowCaseText and design the showing text on the screen.

fun getOutCircleCenter(

    val outerCenterX: Float
    var outerCenterY: Float
    val onTop = targetBound.center.y - targetRadius - textHeight > 0
    val left = min(
        textBound.left,
        targetBound.left - targetRadius
    )
    val right = max(
        textBound.right,
        targetBound.right + targetRadius
    )
    val centerY = if (onTop) targetBound.center.y - targetRadius - textHeight
        else targetBound.center.y + targetRadius + textHeight

    outerCenterY = centerY
    outerCenterX = (left + right) / 2
    if (isInGutter) {
        outerCenterY = targetBound.center.y
    }

    return Offset(outerCenterX, outerCenterY)
}

fun getOuterRadius(
    textRect: Rect,
    targetRect: Rect
) : Float {
    val topLeftX = min(textRect.topLeft.x, targetRect.topLeft.x)
    val topLeftY = min(textRect.topLeft.y, targetRect.topLeft.y)
    val bottomRightX = max(textRect.bottomRight.x, targetRect.bottomRight.x)
    val bottomRightY = max(textRect.bottomRight.y, targetRect.bottomRight.y)
    val expandedBounds = Rect(topLeftX, topLeftY, bottomRightX, bottomRightY)
    val d = sqrt(expandedBounds.height.toDouble().pow(2.0) + expandedBounds.width.toDouble().pow(2.0)).toFloat()
    return (d / 2f)
}

 

Step 4: Create a new Kotlin file for Property with the Name ShowCaseProperty

data class ShowCaseProperty(
    val index: Int,
    val coordinate: LayoutCoordinates,
    val title: String,
    val subTitle: String,
    val titleColor: Color = Color.White,
    val subTitleColor: Color = Color.White
)
