Build expandable descendant navigation, inspired by Google Inbox

InboxRecyclerView is a library for building expandable descendant navigation, inspired by Google Inbox and Reply. If you're interested in learning how it was created, here's a detailed blog post.

implementation 'me.saket:inboxrecyclerview:1.0.0-beta1'

Usage

InboxRecyclerView can be dropped in existing projects without requiring any effort. You can take a look at the sample app for best practices or download its APK for trying it out on your phone.

Layout

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

<me.saket.expand.page.ExpandablePageLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Expanding content

recyclerView.setExpandablePage(contentPage)

recyclerViewAdapter.setOnItemClickListener { clickedItem ->
  expandablePageFragment.loadContent(clickedItem)
  recyclerView.expandItem(clickedItem.adapterId)`
}

How do I…

• customize item expand animations?
• control the pull-to-collapse gesture?
• change the background tint?
• listen to state changes?

Pull collapsible activities

To maintain consistency across the whole app, this library also includes a PullCollapsibleActivity 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>
