State ProgressBar in Android

A State ProgressBar is a unique kind of progress bar which reflects the progression through a series of states or steps. Rather than the conventional linear progress bar, this shows steps (or states) as users proceed through a sequence.

To implement a State ProgressBar in Android, you can use the StateProgressBar library available on GitHub. Here's a guide to help you get started:

1. Add Dependency:

Add the following dependency to your app-level build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.kofigyan.stateprogressbar:stateprogressbar:1.0.0' // Check for the latest version on GitHub

2. XML Layout:

Include the StateProgressBar in your XML layout:

activity_main.xml:

<com.kofigyan.stateprogressbar.StateProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/stateProgressBar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"/>

3. Configure in Kotlin:

MainActivity.kt:

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import com.kofigyan.stateprogressbar.StateProgressBar

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private lateinit var stateProgressBar: StateProgressBar

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        stateProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.stateProgressBar)

        // Define the steps (or states)
        val steps = arrayOf("Step 1", "Step 2", "Step 3", "Step 4")
        stateProgressBar.setStateDescriptionData(steps)

        // To go to the next step
        // stateProgressBar.setCurrentStateNumber(StateProgressBar.StateNumber.TWO)
        // ... and so on.
    }
}

4. Customization:

StateProgressBar provides a range of attributes to customize its appearance and behavior. Here are some of them:

  • spb_stateNumber: Number of the current state (from ONE to TEN).
  • spb_maxStateNumber: Maximum state number.
  • spb_stateSize: Size of a state (width & height).
  • spb_stateLineWidth: Width of the line between states.
  • spb_stateNumberTextSize: Text size of the state number.
  • spb_stateDescriptionSize: Text size of the state description.
  • spb_currentStateDescriptionColor: Text color of the current state's description.
  • spb_stateDescriptionColor: Text color of state descriptions.
  • spb_currentStateNumberColor: Color of the current state number.
  • spb_stateNumberColor: Color of the state number.
  • spb_currentStateColor: Color of the current state.
  • spb_stateColor: Color of states.

You can set these attributes in the XML layout or programmatically in your Kotlin code.

5. Change States:

To move between steps (or states) programmatically, you can use:

stateProgressBar.setCurrentStateNumber(StateProgressBar.StateNumber.TWO)

This approach helps create a visual representation of progression through a series of steps or states, offering a better UX for scenarios such as multi-step user registrations, order processes, or tutorials.

  1. Implementing State ProgressBar in Android example code:

    • Description: Demonstrates the basic implementation of a State ProgressBar in Android.

    • Example Code (XML/Java):

      <com.example.StateProgressBar
          android:id="@+id/stateProgressBar"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
      
      StateProgressBar stateProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.stateProgressBar);
      // Set states and current state
      
  2. Customizing State ProgressBar appearance in Android:

    • Description: Customizes the appearance of the State ProgressBar, such as color, size, and style.

    • Example Code (XML/Java):

      <com.example.StateProgressBar
          android:id="@+id/customProgressBar"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          app:spb_stateSize="20dp"
          app:spb_stateTextColor="#FF4081"
          app:spb_stateBackgroundColor="#E0E0E0"/>
      
      StateProgressBar customProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.customProgressBar);
      // Apply custom styles programmatically if needed
      
  3. State ProgressBar with multiple states in Android:

    • Description: Sets up the State ProgressBar with multiple states to represent a sequence of steps.
    • Example Code (Java):
      StateProgressBar multiStateProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.multiStateProgressBar);
      multiStateProgressBar.setStateDescriptionData(states);
      
  4. Handling progress updates in State ProgressBar Android:

    • Description: Manages progress updates in the State ProgressBar dynamically.
    • Example Code (Java):
      StateProgressBar progressUpdateProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.progressUpdateProgressBar);
      progressUpdateProgressBar.setCurrentStateNumber(StateNumber.FOUR);
      
  5. State ProgressBar with percentage display in Android:

    • Description: Displays percentage along with state in the State ProgressBar.
    • Example Code (Java):
      StateProgressBar percentageProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.percentageProgressBar);
      percentageProgressBar.setStateDescriptionData(statesWithPercentage);
      
  6. Dynamic state transitions in Android State ProgressBar:

    • Description: Dynamically changes state transitions based on user actions or events.
    • Example Code (Java):
      StateProgressBar dynamicTransitionProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.dynamicTransitionProgressBar);
      dynamicTransitionProgressBar.setStateDescriptionData(states);
      // Dynamically update state transitions
      
  7. Animating State ProgressBar changes in Android:

    • Description: Adds animations to State ProgressBar changes for a visually appealing effect.
    • Example Code (Java):
      StateProgressBar animatedProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.animatedProgressBar);
      animatedProgressBar.setStateDescriptionData(states);
      // Apply animation on state changes
      
  8. State ProgressBar with different colors for each state in Android:

    • Description: Assigns distinct colors to each state in the State ProgressBar.
