Android Chat Head Library

How to use

Configuring your project dependencies

Add the library dependency in your build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.txusballesteros:bubbles:1.2.1'
}

Adding your first Bubble

Compose your Bubble layout, for example using a Xml layout file. Remember that the first view of your Bubble layout has to be a BubbleLayout view.

<com.txusballesteros.bubbles.BubbleLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/avatar"
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@drawable/profile_decorator"
        android:src="@drawable/profile"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"/>

</com.txusballesteros.bubbles.BubbleLayout>

Create your BubblesManager instance.

private BubblesManager bubblesManager;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     bubblesManager = new BubblesManager.Builder(this)
                                        .build();
     bubblesManager.initialize();
    ...
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    bubblesManager.recycle();
    ...
}
