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

  .....

dependencies {
      implementation 'com.github.fevziomurtekin:BeforeAfterView:1.0.0'

           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"
           app:bgColor="@android:color/black"
           app:sliderTintColor="@android:color/white"
           app:sliderIconTint="@android:color/white"
           app:afterSrc="@drawable/after"
           app:beforeSrc="@drawable/before"
           app:imageHeightPercent="0.5"
           app:sliderWidthPercent="0.75"
   />

Attributes

Here are the attributes:

  • bgColor
  • sliderTintColor
  • sliderIconTint
  • afterSrc
  • beforeSrc
  • imageHeightPercent
  • sliderWidthPercent

Let us look at a full Image Switcher Example based on this library:

Step 1. Design Layouts

For this project let's create the following layouts:

(a). activity_main.xml

Our activity_main layout.

This layout will represent our Main Activity's layout. Specify android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout as it's root element then inside it place the following widgets:

  1. BeforeAfterView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        android:id="@+id/root"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

   <com.fevziomurtekin.beforeafterview.BeforeAfterView
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"
           app:bgColor="@android:color/black"
           app:sliderTintColor="@android:color/white"
           app:sliderIconTint="@android:color/white"
           app:imageHeightPercent="0.5"
           app:sliderWidthPercent="0.75"
   />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Step 2. Write Code

Finally we need to write our code as follows:

(a). MainActivity.kt

Our MainActivity class.

Here is the full code:

package replace_with_your_package_name

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
import kotlin.math.roundToInt

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(){

    private var rangeWidth=0

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    }

}
