ForegroundViews
=======
Small library that provides Foreground View functionality to most used Android Views with foreground.
If you want support to new View, add an issue :-)

This library is developed based on some other good but not completed approaches of Foreground Views:

### Sources
* [FRelativeLayout][1] made by [Shaka Huang][2]
* [Antonie Merle][3] [post][4] about how custom Foreground Views should work
* [Chris Banes][5] [post][6] that explains which possibilities we have to get the Foreground
 Approach on Android
* [FrameLayout source code][7]

Screenshots

Usage
-----
You just have to use whatever FView like FrameLayout; just set the android:foreground attribute
as shown below:
```
<com.cesards.android.foregroundviews.ForegroundView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    custom:?="?">

... other views ...

</com.cesards.android.foregroundviews.FView>
```
where custom attributes can be:

* __foreground__
Defines the drawable to draw over the content. This can be used as an overlay.

Just add: ```custom:foreground="@drawable/your_foreground"```

* __foregroundInsidePadding__
Defines whether the foreground drawable should be drawn inside the padding.
This property is false by default except if your background is a NinePatch Drawable.

Just add: ```custom:foregroundInsidePadding="true"```

* __backgroundAsForeground__
Retrieve the default background and set it as the foreground. Thanks to this, you can get the
default background selector of your theme and set it as your foreground selector if you want.
This property is false  by default.

Just add: ```custom:foregroundInsidePadding="true"```
