ShineButton

A lightweight, customizable Android UI library that adds a "shining" effect to buttons, similar to Twitter's heart animation.

Features

• Customizable Shapes: Use any PNG mask as a button shape.
• Vibrant Effects: Adjust shine color, size, count, and distance.
• Interactive: Smooth animations for both clicking and shining.
• Random Colors: Option to enable random colors for the shine effect.
• Dialog Support: Works seamlessly inside Dialogs.
• Lightweight: Minimal dependencies and easy to integrate.

Installation

JitPack (Recommended for latest version)

1. Add the JitPack repository to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

2. Add the dependency to your app/build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.ChadCSong:ShineButton:v2.0.0'
}

Gradle (Maven Central)

Add the dependency to your app/build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.sackcentury:shinebutton:2.0.0'
}

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sackcentury</groupId>
  <artifactId>shinebutton</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.0</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Usage

XML Layout

The simplest way to use ShineButton is in your XML layout:

<com.sackcentury.shinebuttonlib.ShineButton
    android:id="@+id/shine_button"
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:src="@android:color/darker_gray"
    app:btn_color="@android:color/darker_gray"
    app:btn_fill_color="#FF6666"
    app:allow_random_color="false"
    app:siShape="@raw/like" />

Java Implementation

ShineButton shineButton = (ShineButton) findViewById(R.id.shine_button);
shineButton.init(activity);

Jetpack Compose Implementation

ShineButton now supports Jetpack Compose natively!

var isChecked by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

ShineButtonCompose(
    isChecked = isChecked,
    onCheckedChange = { isChecked = it },
    shape = Icons.Default.Favorite, // Use any ImageVector
    btnColor = Color.LightGray,
    btnFillColor = Color.Red,
    shineColor = Color.Red,
    shineSize = 50.dp,
    allowRandomColor = true
)

Or create it dynamically:

ShineButton shineButtonJava = new ShineButton(this);
shineButtonJava.setBtnColor(Color.GRAY);
shineButtonJava.setBtnFillColor(Color.RED);
shineButtonJava.setShapeResource(R.raw.heart);
shineButtonJava.setAllowRandomColor(true);

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100);
shineButtonJava.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
linearLayout.addView(shineButtonJava);

Dialog Support

If you are using ShineButton inside a Dialog, call setFixDialog(dialog) to ensure it renders correctly:

shineButton.setFixDialog(dialog);

Roadmap

We are continuously working to improve ShineButton. Here is what we have planned:

• Kotlin Migration: Fully convert the library to Kotlin for better safety and modern features.
• Jetpack Compose: Provide a native Composable version of ShineButton.
• Vector Support: Allow using VectorDrawable as shape masks.
• Custom Animators: Support for custom easing and path-based animations.
• Material 3: Update the demo app with Material 3 design and dynamic colors.
• Performance: Further optimize canvas operations and memory allocation.

Requirements

• Android API Level 14+ (Android 4.0+)

Credits

• Inspired by fave-button for iOS.
• Uses EasingInterpolator for smooth animations.
• Concepts from android-shape-imageview.
