maven {
jcenter()
}dependencies {
compile 'com.turingtechnologies.materialscrollbar:lib:3.+'
}For version 3.0.0 and later, all you need to add is this line of code:
MaterialScrollBar materialScrollBar = new MaterialScrollBar(this, recyclerView);where 'recyclerView' is the recyclerView to which you want to link the scrollBar.
If you're updating from an older version, remove any xml from this library and rewrite your code to implement the API as above.
It is also strongly recommended that you provide the accent colour if your app supports devices below Lollipop. You can do this by invoking:
materialScrollBar.setHandleColour([[Accent Colour]]);For devices running Lollipop and above, the accent colour will be read automatically. If you fail to provide an accent colour, devices running version of Android below Lollipop will default to a usable but bland grey colour.
Also note that the library does not currently support recyclerViews which do not boarder the screen's edge on the right side.
To add a section indicator, simply add the following line of code:
materialScrollBar.addSectionIndicator(this);To use a section indicator, you MUST make your recyclerView's adapter implement INameableAdapter. If you do not, the library will throw a runtime error informing you of your mistake.
All versions have 3 nodes (X.X.X). The first increments every time that an application written for the previous version might be rendered incompatibile with the new version. This occurs whenever a feature's implementation must be changed on the developer's end to continue working. The second node changes whenever a new feature is added or previous features are updated, without breaking any code which was written for the previous version. The last node changes for bugfixes or dependancy updates.
