Curve Navigation Drawer in Android using ArcNavigationView

ArcNavigationView is an Android navigation view component that provides a unique curve-shaped navigation drawer. Using ArcNavigationView, you can make your navigation drawer stand out by giving it a curved appearance.

To implement the curve navigation drawer using ArcNavigationView, follow these steps:

1. Add Dependency:

First, add the ArcNavigationView dependency in your build.gradle (Module: app):

implementation 'com.rom4ek:arcnavigationview:1.0.2'

(Note: Always ensure you're using the latest version.)

2. Add `ArcNavigationView` to Your Layout:

In your activity_main.xml or any suitable layout file, you can set up the ArcNavigationView inside a DrawerLayout:

<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- Your main content layout goes here, for example a FrameLayout or CoordinatorLayout -->

    <com.rom4ek.arcnavigationview.ArcNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/arcNavigationView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        app:arc_cropDirection="cropInside"
        app:arc_position="right"
        app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

Replace @menu/drawer_menu with the menu you want to show in the navigation drawer.

3. Set Up `ArcNavigationView` in Your Activity:

In your MainActivity.kt:

val drawerLayout: DrawerLayout = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)

// Setting up ArcNavigationView
arcNavigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener { menuItem ->
    when (menuItem.itemId) {
        R.id.nav_item_1 -> {
            // Handle the click for the first item
        }
        R.id.nav_item_2 -> {
            // Handle the click for the second item
        }
        // ... handle other items
    }
    drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)
    true
}

4. Handle the Drawer Opening/Closing:

You can set up an ActionBarDrawerToggle or manually open/close the drawer using the DrawerLayout:

// To open the drawer:
drawerLayout.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START)

// To close the drawer:
drawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START)

With this setup, you should have a functional curved navigation drawer using the ArcNavigationView. Remember, ArcNavigationView offers various customization options to adjust the curvature, position, and more. Always refer to the library's documentation or GitHub repository for additional details and updates.

Implementing ArcNavigationView in Android Kotlin:
- Description: Implementing ArcNavigationView involves integrating the ArcNavigationView library or creating a custom implementation to achieve a curved navigation drawer in Android.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of implementing ArcNavigationView in Android
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
// Configure the ArcNavigationView, set listeners, etc.
```
Creating a curved navigation drawer in Android:
- Description: Creating a curved navigation drawer typically involves using a library like ArcNavigationView or implementing a custom solution. This curved design provides a unique visual appeal to the navigation drawer.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of creating a curved navigation drawer
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
// Configure the ArcNavigationView, set listeners, etc.
```

Customizing ArcNavigationView appearance in Android:

Description: Customizing the appearance of ArcNavigationView allows you to adjust attributes such as colors, sizes, and styles to match your app's design. This customization enhances the visual appeal of the curved navigation drawer.

Code (Kotlin):

// Example of customizing ArcNavigationView appearance
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
arcNavigationView.selectedItemColor = Color.RED
arcNavigationView.itemTextAppearanceInactive = R.style.InactiveItemTextAppearance
// Set other customization properties as needed

Handling events with Curve Navigation Drawer in Android:
- Description: Handling events with the Curve Navigation Drawer involves setting listeners to respond to item clicks or other interactions. This allows you to perform actions based on user interactions with the curved navigation drawer.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of handling events with Curve Navigation Drawer
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
arcNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener { menuItem ->
    // Handle the selected menu item
    true
}
```
Adding icons to items in ArcNavigationView:
- Description: Adding icons to items in ArcNavigationView enhances the visual representation of menu items. You can associate icons with menu items to provide users with a more intuitive navigation experience.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of adding icons to items in ArcNavigationView
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
arcNavigationView.setItemIcon(R.id.menu_item_home, R.drawable.ic_home)
// Set icons for other menu items as needed
```
Animating ArcNavigationView in Android:
- Description: Animating ArcNavigationView allows you to create smooth transitions and visual effects. You can use Android's animation framework or other animation libraries to add dynamic animations to the curved navigation drawer.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of animating ArcNavigationView
val arcNavigationView: ArcNavigationView = findViewById(R.id.arcNavigationView)
val fadeIn = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(arcNavigationView, "alpha", 0f, 1f)
fadeIn.duration = 1000
fadeIn.start()
```
Using ArcNavigationView library for curved navigation:
- Description: Using the ArcNavigationView library simplifies the implementation of a curved navigation drawer. You can include the library in your project and leverage its features for creating a visually appealing curved design.
- Code (Kotlin):
```
// Example of using ArcNavigationView library in Android
implementation 'com.github.armcha:ArcNavigationView:1.0.3'
```

Integrating ArcNavigationView into Android layout:

Description: Integrating ArcNavigationView into an Android layout involves adding the ArcNavigationView view to your XML layout file. You can customize its attributes and appearance directly in the layout file.

Code (XML):

<!-- Example of integrating ArcNavigationView into Android layout -->
<com.github.armcha.navigation.ArcNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/arcNavigationView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:arc_color="#2196F3"
    app:background_color="#FFFFFF"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_menu"
    app:menu_item_text_color="#212121"
    app:overlay_color="#80000000"
    app:radius="180dp" />
