## Usage

### Dependency

#### Add the followings to your project level `build.gradle` file.

```groovy
dependencies {
// Material Components for Android. Replace the version with the latest version of Material Components library.
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0'

// Circle Indicator (To fix the xml preview "Missing classes" error)
implementation 'me.relex:circleindicator:2.1.6'

implementation 'org.imaginativeworld.whynotimagecarousel:whynotimagecarousel:2.1.0'
}
```

### Requirements

**0.** Minimum SDK for this library is **API 21** (Android 5.0 Lollipop).

**1.** Your application have to use **AndroidX** to use this library.

**2.** Your have to use **\*.MaterialComponents.\*** in you styles.

### Finally

Add the view `org.imaginativeworld.whynotimagecarousel.ImageCarousel` in your layout:

```xml

```

Use the `CarouselItem` class for data item. Initialize the `ImageCarousel` with data using `setData()` function:

```kotlin
// Kotlin
val carousel: ImageCarousel = findViewById(R.id.carousel)

// Register lifecycle. For activity this will be lifecycle/getLifecycle() and for fragment it will be viewLifecycleOwner/getViewLifecycleOwner().
carousel.registerLifecycle(lifecycle)

val list = mutableListOf()

// Image URL with caption
list.add(
CarouselItem(
imageUrl = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1532581291347-9c39cf10a73c?w=1080",
caption = "Photo by Aaron Wu on Unsplash"
)
)

// Just image URL
list.add(
CarouselItem(
imageUrl = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534447677768-be436bb09401?w=1080"
)
)

// Image URL with header
val headers = mutableMapOf()
headers["header_key"] = "header_value"

list.add(
CarouselItem(
imageUrl = "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534447677768-be436bb09401?w=1080",
headers = headers
)
)

// Image drawable with caption
list.add(
CarouselItem(
imageDrawable = R.drawable.image_1,
caption = "Photo by Kimiya Oveisi on Unsplash"
)
)

// Just image drawable
list.add(
CarouselItem(
imageDrawable = R.drawable.image_2
)
)

// ...

carousel.setData(list)
```

```java
// Java
ImageCarousel carousel = findViewById(R.id.carousel);

// Register lifecycle. For activity this will be lifecycle/getLifecycle() and for fragments it will be viewLifecycleOwner/getViewLifecycleOwner().
carousel.registerLifecycle(getLifecycle());

List list = new ArrayList<>();

// Image URL with caption
list.add(
new CarouselItem(
"https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1532581291347-9c39cf10a73c?w=1080",
"Photo by Aaron Wu on Unsplash"
)
);

// Just image URL
list.add(
new CarouselItem(
"https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534447677768-be436bb09401?w=1080"
)
);

// Image URL with header
Map headers = new HashMap<>();
headers.put("header_key", "header_value");

list.add(
new CarouselItem(
"https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534447677768-be436bb09401?w=1080",
headers
)
);

// Image drawable with caption
list.add(
new CarouselItem(
R.drawable.image_1,
"Photo by Kimiya Oveisi on Unsplash"
)
);

// Just image drawable
list.add(
new CarouselItem(
R.drawable.image_2
)
);

// ...

carousel.setData(list);
```

That's all you need to use the library! :)

## `ImageCarousel` XML attributes

All the custom XML attributes for `ImageCarousel` view with default values are given below. All attributes are optional.

```xml

```

## `ImageCarousel` methods

You can also set all the attributes programmatically. All the methods and their usages given below.

### Kotlin

## Register Lifecycle

`ImageCarousel` is a [lifecycle-aware component](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/lifecycle). You can use the `registerLifecycle()` method to register a lifecycle. For activity the parameter will be `lifecycle`/`getLifecycle()` and for fragment it will be `viewLifecycleOwner`/`getViewLifecycleOwner()`.

It is recommended to register `ImageCarousel` to a lifecycle, so that the auto-play/scroll will pause when the app is in the background and resume when the app is resumed.

It is also used to correctly initialize the infinite carousel when the app is in the background.

So it is recommended if you enabled `autoPlay` & `infiniteCarousel`.

## Infinite Carousel

![Infinite Carousel](docs/images/infinite_carousel.gif)

The library now supports an infinite carousel, which means that the item view is looped infinitely. This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it by setting the `infiniteCarousel` property to `false`.

## Indicator

The carousel is bundled with a default indicator. We used the [CircleIndicator](https://github.com/ongakuer/CircleIndicator) library for the indicator. You can use all the customization supported by the library in our carousel. You can get the default indicator by the `getIndicator()` method. If you wish to add your custom indicator, then just use the `CircleIndicator2` from the [CircleIndicator](https://github.com/ongakuer/CircleIndicator) library and set the view using the `setIndicator(indicator)` method. For details usage see the [sample](/sample).

## Custom View

The carousel supports the view-binding for the custom view. `CarouselListener` has two methods `onCreateViewHolder()` and `onBindViewHolder()` for adding a custom view to the carousel. If you use the `RecyclerView.Adapter` then you should remember the names of the methods. Both are mapped with the same methods in the `RecyclerView.Adapter`.

Adding a custom view is straightforward. An example is given below:

```kotlin
// Kotlin
carousel.carouselListener = object : CarouselListener {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(
layoutInflater: LayoutInflater,
parent: ViewGroup
): ViewBinding {
// Here, our XML layout file name is custom_item_layout.xml. So our view binding generated class name is CustomItemLayoutBinding.
return CustomItemLayoutBinding.inflate(layoutInflater, parent, false)
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(
binding: ViewBinding,
imageScaleType: ImageView.ScaleType,
item: CarouselItem,
position: Int
) {
// Cast the binding to the returned view binding class of the onCreateViewHolder() method.
val currentBinding = binding as CustomItemLayoutBinding

// Do the bindings...
currentBinding.imageView.apply {
scaleType = imageScaleType

// setImage() is an extension function to load image to an ImageView using CarouselItem object. We need to provide current CarouselItem data and the place holder Drawable or drawable resource id to the function. placeholder parameter is optional.
setImage(item, R.drawable.ic_wb_cloudy_with_padding)
}
}
}
```

```java
// Java
binding.carousel.setCarouselListener(new CarouselListener() {
@Nullable
@Override
public ViewBinding onCreateViewHolder(@NotNull LayoutInflater layoutInflater, @NotNull ViewGroup parent) {
// Here, our XML layout file name is custom_item_layout.xml. So our view binding generated class name is CustomItemLayoutBinding.
return ItemCustomFixedSizeLayout1Binding.inflate(layoutInflater, parent, false);
}

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(@NotNull ViewBinding binding, @NotNull ImageView.ScaleType imageScaleType, @NotNull CarouselItem item, int position) {
// Cast the binding to the returned view binding class of the onCreateViewHolder() method.
ItemCustomFixedSizeLayout1Binding currentBinding = (ItemCustomFixedSizeLayout1Binding) binding;

// Do the bindings...
currentBinding.imageView.setScaleType(imageScaleType);

// setImage() is an extension function to load image to an ImageView using CarouselItem object. We need to provide current CarouselItem data and the place holder Drawable or drawable resource id to the function. placeholder parameter is optional.
Utils.setImage(currentBinding.imageView, item, R.drawable.ic_wb_cloudy_with_padding);
}
});
```

**Using custom view, you can create any type of carousel, even a carousel without any image!** See the [sample](/sample) app for some example.

## Carousel Type (`carouselType`)

![Carousel type preview](docs/images/carousel_type.png)

`ImageCarousel` has following types:

#### 1. `CarouselType.BLOCK`

If you need one item view at a time, then use this carousel type.

#### 2. `CarouselType.SHOWCASE`

If you need multiple item view at a time, use this carousel type.

You can also use the `scaleOnScroll` and `scalingFactor` attributes with this carousel type.

### Scale Item View On Scroll (`scaleOnScroll`)

![Scale-on-scroll preview](docs/images/scale_on_scroll.png)

You can use `scaleOnScroll` attribute to scaling down the adjacent views like above. Use `scalingFactor` to define scale down percentage. Value should be 0.0 to 1.0.

## Carousel Gravity (`carouselGravity`)

![Carousel gravity preview](docs/images/carousel_gravity.png)

For `CarouselType.SHOWCASE`, you can set carousel gravity. Supported gravities ase:

#### 1. `CarouselGravity.CENTER`

Current selected item will be at the center of the view.

#### 2. `CarouselGravity.START`

Current selected item will be at the start of the view.
