ChromeMenu

The menu from Chromium Android appmenu(Github Mirror). It can do this:

Notice the press, move, selection, up are finished in one gesture.

I love this design. It significantly improves the efficiency of using an app. So I dig into chromium, extract related code and pack them into this library.

Update: Recently, I found that getDragToOpenListener provides a similar effect.

Usage

1. Install dependency

   • JitPack: implementation 'com.github.DeweyReed:ChromeMenu:0.2.0'

2. Set up touch listener

   val coordinator = AppMenuCoordinatorFactory.createAppMenuCoordinator(
       this,
       { binding.btn },
       object : AppMenuDelegate {
           override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem, menuItemData: Bundle?): Boolean {
               onMenuItemClicked(item)
               return true
           }
   
           override fun createAppMenuPropertiesDelegate(): AppMenuPropertiesDelegate {
               return object : AbstractAppMenuPropertiesDelegate() {
                   override fun getAppMenuLayoutId(): Int = R.menu.menu
               }
           }
   
           override fun shouldShowAppMenu(): Boolean = true
       },
       window.decorView
   )
   
   binding.btn.setOnTouchListener(
       coordinator.appMenuHandler.createAppMenuButtonHelper()
   )

3. Check the sample for more customization.
