GlassActionBar

==================



GlassActionBar is an Android library which implements a glass-like effect for the action bar. 



The three most commonly used action bar implementations are supported: stock (API >13), ActionBarCompat and ActionBarSherlock. 



The code of this library is based on techniques outlined by Nicolas Pomepuy in [a recent blog post][1].

Try out the sample application:





  Android app on Google Play




Or browse the [source code of the sample application][3] for a complete example of use.



Including in your project

-------------------------



The library is pushed to Maven Central as a AAR, so you just need to add the following dependency to your `build.gradle`.

    

    dependencies {

        compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar:0.3.0'

    }

    

Or if your project doesn't use the stock action bar, but one of the compatibility implementations, you would use the following:



    dependencies {

        // Use the following if your project uses ActionBarCompat

        compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar-abc:0.3.0'

        // Or the following if your project uses ActionBarSherlock

        compile 'com.github.manuelpeinado.glassactionbar:glassactionbar-abs:0.3.0'

    }
