Meet Crumbling tutorial for Android Apps by Cleveroad

Here comes a new Android library for those who are tired of old boring image sliding in mobile apps. Bitutorial is a simple way to add a unique transition between slides. Whether your application supports a sliding tutorial or image change feature, you certainly want to create a memorable experience.

Also you can watch the animation of the Crumbling tutorial for Android on YouTube in HD quality.

Try Bitutorial — an easy to use open-source library for the Android platform. The crumbling view of horizontal sliding creates elegant motion and all the elements (images, fonts) of the library are truly customizable, so it can fit an app of any kind.

Everything you may want to know about the library, its implementation and use cases is scetched in our blog post: Case Study: Crumbling Tutorial For Android by Cleveroad.

If you want to stand out from the crowd of similar apps, add this unusual view to your in-app transitions.

Setup and usage

To include this library to your project add dependency in build.gradle file:

    dependencies {
        compile 'com.cleveroad:splittransformation:0.9.0'
    }

Then you need to wrap your pager adapter with TransformationAdapterWrapper:

    TransformationAdapterWrapper wrapper = TransformationAdapterWrapper
        .wrap(getContext(), adapter)
        // rows x column = total number of pieces. Larger number of pieces impacts on performance.
        .rows(...)
        .columns(...)
        // Maximum size of spacing between pieces.
        .piecesSpacing(...)
        // Translation for splited pieces.
        .translationX(...)
        .translationY(...)
        // Add top margin for view. Preffer this method instead of setting margin to your view
        // because transformer will split empty space into pieces too.
        .marginTop(...)
        // scale factor for generated bitmaps. Use this if you are facing any OOM issues.
        .bitmapScale(...)
        // If you're using complex views with dynamicaly changed content (like edit texts, lists, etc)
        // you should provide your own complex view detector that will return true for such complex views.
        // Every time user swipes pager, transformer will regenerate and split bitmap for view (at the start of swipe gesture)
        // so make sure detector returns true only if view is a complex one.
        .complexViewDetector(...)
        // You can set your own factory that produces bitmap transformers. Default implementation: splitting view into pieces
        .bitmapTransformerFactory(...)
        .build();

Then pass this wrapper to your view pager.
