MaterialList is an Android library created to help all Android developers get the beautiful CardViews that Google shows at its official design specifications.

Provided as a ListView extension, it can receive a list of Cards (stored in a CardList, provided by the library) and show them accordingly to the android style and design patterns.

It also has been developed while keeping extensibility in mind, which means that you are able to create your own card layouts and add them to the CardList without any pain (see examples below).

These are the cards that the library offers by default:

• SmallImageCard

• BigImageCard

• BasicImageButtonsCard

• BasicButtonsCard

• BigImageButtonsCard

• WelcomeCard

First of all, you'll need to declare a MaterialListView in your layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">

    <com.dexafree.materiallistviewexample.view.MaterialListView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/material_listview"/>

</RelativeLayout>

After that, get it on your code by simply making a findViewById query.

mListView = (MaterialListView) findViewById(R.id.material_listview);

Then, create your CardList, fill it with Cards, create the adapter and you're ready to go:

CardList cardsList = new CardList();

// Fill your CardsList

MaterialListViewAdapter adapter = new MaterialListViewAdapter(mContext, cardsList);

mListView.setMaterialListViewAdapter(adapter);

There are also some Cards that may show a Divider between the content and the buttons. For further reference, read the Wiki page

One of the features I've always loved is the SwipeToDismiss gesture. MaterialList brings you this feature, and in order to set a callback to the dismissing action, you only need to create your own OnDismissCallback:

mListView.setOnDismissCallback(new OnDismissCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onDismiss(Card card, int position) {
        // Do whatever you want here
    }
});

You will also be able to decide if a card should be dismissible or not, just by calling Card.setCanDismiss().

MaterialList was created with extensibility in mind, so it makes things easy for you if you want to create your own Cards.

For learning how to do it, check the Wiki page

MaterialList is compatible with Android 2.3+

In order to use MaterialList, you can either clone the project and import it as a module, or you can add this line to your build.gradle script:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.github.dexafree:materiallist:1.2.0'
}

You can clone the project and compile it yourself (it includes a sample), or you can check it out already compiled at Google Play

Notice that it might not be the last version
