IBackdrop
A library to setup a backdrop component in your project since for now there is no a easy way to implement that in our project. Words from official material link: "A backdrop appears behind all other surfaces in an app, displaying contextual and actionable content". Here is an example of what you get using this library:
Requirements
- Android API level 16 or greater
- Your favorite IDE
Setting up
Gradle:
Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
...
}
}
Step 2. Adding Dependency
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.github.pedromassango:IBackdrop:CURRENT-VERSION'
...
}
Maven:
Step 1. Register jitpack.io
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Step 2. Add the dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.pedromassango</groupId>
<artifactId>IBackdrop</artifactId>
<version>CURRENT-VERSION</version>
</dependency>

I wrote a step by step for how to use this library on Medium, follow the link: https://blog.usejournal.com/android-material-design-components-backdrop-96a3044a3b2
TODO
- Handle Device Orientation Changes (you can set it in your manifest's activity tag)
- Call Toolbar via XML (by reference)
- Set a custom animation duration
- Set a custom backdrop view size
- set Inactive state to front layer when the back layer is visible (grey the layer)
