## Requirements

- Android 4.0 IceCreamSandwich (API lvl 14) or greater
- Your favorite IDE

## Installation

maven repo:

Gradle:
```groovy
'com.ramotion.expandingcollection:expanding-collection:0.9.2'
```
SBT:
```scala
libraryDependencies += "com.ramotion.expandingcollection" % "expanding-collection" % "0.9.2"
```
Maven:
```xml
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.ramotion.expandingcollection</groupId>
	<artifactId>expanding-collection</artifactId>
	<version>0.9.2</version>
</dependency>
```

## Basic usage
 
1. Add a background switcher element `ECBackgroundSwitcherView` and a main pager element `ECPagerView` to your layout. `ECPagerView` should always have `match_parent` width and `wrap_content` height. You can adjust the vertical position yourself using **alignment/gravity** or **top margin**. `ECBackgroundSwitcherView` is the dynamic background switcher, so you probably want it to be as big as its parent.

```xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    
    <com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECBackgroundSwitcherView
        android:id="@+id/ec_bg_switcher_element"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
        
    <com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECPagerView
        android:id="@+id/ec_pager_element"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>
        
</RelativeLayout>
```

2. Tune `ECPagerView`: setup size of card in collapsed state and height of header in expanded state.

```xml
<com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECPagerView xmlns:ec="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/ec_pager_element"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    ec:cardHeaderHeightExpanded="150dp"
    ec:cardHeight="200dp"
    ec:cardWidth="250dp" />
```

3. Expanded card contains two parts: a header part with a background (initially visible when card is collapsed) and a ListView element as content (visible only when card is expanded), so you need an xml layout for the list items.

```xml
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    
    <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/list_item_text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:textAlignment="center" />
        
</FrameLayout>
```

4. Also, you need to implement a custom list adapter for the list items by extending the parametrized `com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECCardContentListItemAdapter.java` class,  where `T` is type of datasource object for list items inside the card. In the example below, `T` is just a string object. It's a pretty straightforward implementation with a common view holder pattern.

```java
public class CardListItemAdapter extends ECCardContentListItemAdapter<String> {

public CardListItemAdapter(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull List<String> objects) {
        super(context, R.layout.list_item, objects);
    }

@NonNull
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, @Nullable View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder viewHolder;
        View rowView = convertView;

if (rowView == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
            rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.itemText = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.list_item_text);
            rowView.setTag(viewHolder);
        } else {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) rowView.getTag();
        }

String item = getItem(position);
        if (item != null) {
            viewHolder.itemText.setText(item);
        }
        return rowView;
    }

static class ViewHolder {
        TextView itemText;
    }

}
```
5. Your data class must implement the `com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECCardData.java` interface where `T` is type of datasource object for list items inside the card.

```java
public class CardDataImpl implements ECCardData<String> {

private String cardTitle;
    private Integer mainBackgroundResource;
    private Integer headBackgroundResource;
    private List<String> listItems;

@Override
    public Integer getMainBackgroundResource() {
        return mainBackgroundResource;
    }

@Override
    public Integer getHeadBackgroundResource() {
        return headBackgroundResource;
    }

@Override
    public List<String> getListItems() {
        return listItems;
    }
}
```

6. Almost done! The last thing we need to do is provide our dataset to a pager element through a pager adapter. It's just an implementation of the abstract class `com.ramotion.expandingcollection.ECPagerViewAdapter.java` with one abstract method, so it can be easily implemented inside your activity.

```java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private ECPagerView ecPagerView;

@Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Get pager from layout
       ecPagerView = (ECPagerView) findViewById(R.id.ec_pager_element);

// Generate example dataset
       List<ECCardData> dataset = CardDataImpl.generateExampleData();

// Implement pager adapter and attach it to pager view
       ecPagerView.setPagerViewAdapter(new ECPagerViewAdapter(getApplicationContext(), dataset) {
           @Override
           public void instantiateCard(LayoutInflater inflaterService, ViewGroup head, ListView list, ECCardData data) {
               // Data object for current card
               CardDataImpl cardData = (CardDataImpl) data;

// Set adapter and items to current card content list
               list.setAdapter(new CardListItemAdapter(getApplicationContext(), cardData.getListItems()));
               // Also some visual tuning can be done here
               list.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

// Here we can create elements for head view or inflate layout from xml using inflater service
               TextView cardTitle = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
               cardTitle.setText(cardData.getCardTitle());
               cardTitle.setTextSize(COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 20);
               FrameLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
               layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
               head.addView(cardTitle, layoutParams);

// Card toggling by click on head element
               head.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                   @Override
                   public void onClick(final View v) {
                       ecPagerView.toggle();
                   }
               });
           }
       });

// Add background switcher to pager view
       ecPagerView.setBackgroundSwitcherView((ECBackgroundSwitcherView) findViewById(R.id.ec_bg_switcher_element));

}

// Card collapse on back pressed
   @Override
   public void onBackPressed() {
       if (!ecPagerView.collapse())
           super.onBackPressed();
   }

}
```
