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

Prerequisites

The minimum API level supported by this library is API 14 (ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH).

Usage

In onCreate() of your activity, create a root view object for the banner:

View rootview = findViewById(android.R.id.content);

With the latest release of v1.1.0, you can now call the banner with one line of code:

Option 1: Choose default layouts

Banner.make(View view,Context context, int bannerType, String message, int position);

Option 2: Choose default layouts with auto dismiss after the given duration

Banner.make(View view,Context context, int bannerType, String message, int position, int duration);

Option 3: With custom layout:

Banner.make(View view,Context context, int position, int Customlayout);

Option 4: With custom layout and below a view (eg toolbar):

Banner make(View view,Context context, int position, int Customlayout,boolean asDropDown) 

Option 5: With custom layout and full screen:

Banner make(View view,Context context, int Customlayout,boolean fillScreen)

Example:

Banner.make(rootview,getBaseContext(),Banner.SUCCESS,"This is a successful message",Banner.TOP).show();

Banner.make(rootview,getBaseContext(),Banner.ERROR,"This is an error message",Banner.BOTTOM,2000).show();

For custom layout, pass your layout as shown below:

Banner.make(rootview,getBaseContext(),Banner.TOP,R.layout.banner);

If your custom banner has views that need to be set on runtime, instantiate your view objects as below:

textView = Banner.getInstance().getBannerView().findViewById(R.id.status_text);
relativeLayout = Banner.getInstance().getBannerView().findViewById(R.id.rlCancel);
textView.setText("This is text for the banner");

To listen to click events, you can implement the following code:

 textView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Banner has been clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });

        relativeLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Banner.getInstance().dismissBanner();
            }
        });

The library allow to set custom animation for the banner. You can set your own animation style as below:

Banner.getInstance().setCustomAnimationStyle(R.style.NotificationAnimationBottom);

If you want to auto dismiss your custom banner, set the duration as below:

Banner.getInstance().setDuration(2000);

Finally, invoke show method:

 Banner.getInstance().show();
