tommybuonomo/dotsindicator

This system is an Android library that provides animated dot indicators for pager views, supporting both legacy XML-based ViewPager implementations and modern Jetpack Compose. It offers four distinct animation styles—Shift, Spring, Worm, and Balloon—and includes features like RTL layout support and configurable dot clickability. The project also maintains a sample application to demonstrate integration with ViewPager, ViewPager2, and Compose.

3 changes.

The project was rebranded to Pager Dots Indicator and updated to version 5.1.1 to support Jetpack Compose alongside classic XML views. Legacy components and obsolete test stubs were removed to streamline the codebase and align with the new API structure.

4 changes.

The project migrated its build configuration from Groovy to the Gradle Kotlin DSL and upgraded the Gradle wrapper. It also enhanced the DotsIndicator component to support right-to-left layouts and configurable dot clickability, while adding standard configuration files to the sample app.

The sample application was refactored to adopt modern Android development patterns, primarily shifting the default UI to Jetpack Compose with Material 3 theming. This period also involved adding comprehensive ViewPager2 support and updating the Gradle build toolchain to ensure consistent JVM environments across platforms.

The sample application now includes a Compose-based UI that showcases the library's dot indicator capabilities, specifically featuring Shift, Spring, Worm, and Balloon indicator types. This new fragment allows users to interact with a HorizontalPager and observe how each indicator type animates and renders in real-time, providing a visual reference for integrating these specific styles into their own Jetpack Compose projects.

The sample application now includes a dedicated ViewPager2 demonstration in addition to the existing ViewPager one. This new section features a fragment that integrates the dots, spring dots, and worm dots indicators with a ViewPager2 instance, utilizing a custom RecyclerView adapter and a zoom-out page transformer. It also includes debug-mode controls for dynamically adding and removing items to test indicator updates.

The legacy \DotsIndicator\ class has been removed from the library. This component previously provided a basic dot-based indicator for ViewPager with static styling and manual width adjustments during page scrolling. Users relying on this specific implementation will need to migrate to the updated indicator components introduced in this release.

The sample application now includes a .gitignore file to exclude build artifacts and IDE settings, and a proguard-rules.pro file to provide default configuration rules for code shrinking and obfuscation.

The DotsIndicator component now correctly handles right-to-left (RTL) layouts by forcing LTR layout direction on individual dot views, preventing visual inversion in RTL languages. Additionally, the indicator now respects a new \dotsClickable\ attribute (defaulting to true), allowing developers to disable user interaction with individual dots via XML or code.

The project has been rebranded from 'Material Squares Loading Animation' to 'Pager Dots Indicator' and updated to version 5.1.1. The library now supports Jetpack Compose alongside classic XML views, offering four indicator types: Shift, Spring, Worm, and Balloon. The Maven artifact has changed to com.tbuonomo:dotsindicator, and the README has been completely rewritten to document the new Compose API and XML attributes.

The project's build configuration has been migrated from Groovy to Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts). This change updates the build system syntax, which may require users to adjust their local build environment or custom build scripts to support the new format. Additionally, a .gitignore file has been added to the module to standardize ignored build artifacts and IDE files.

The sample application's core module has been refactored to support modern Android development patterns. It introduces Kotlin delegates for View Binding in Activities and Fragments to simplify view access and memory management. Additionally, it establishes a Jetpack Compose foundation by defining Material 3 color palettes for both light and dark modes, with the sample app currently configured to always use the dark theme. A ZoomOutPageTransformer is also included to provide a specific visual effect for ViewPager transitions.

The sample application's main activity now loads the Compose-based dots indicator fragment by default, replacing the previous default behavior of showing the ViewPager or ViewPager2 implementations. Users launching the sample will immediately see the Jetpack Compose version of the indicator, while the legacy ViewPager and ViewPager2 fragments remain available as selectable alternatives within the same activity.

The Gradle build now includes a generated \gradle-daemon-jvm.properties\ file that configures the JVM toolchain for the Gradle daemon. This file maps specific operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows) and architectures (AARCH64, X86\_64) to specific JDK distribution URLs via the Foojay Disco API, and sets the target JDK version to 21. This ensures consistent and reproducible JVM environments for the Gradle daemon across different developer machines and CI systems.

The legacy Android instrumentation test (ApplicationTest) and the basic unit test stub (ExampleUnitTest) have been removed from the project. These files were standard boilerplate generated by older Android tooling and their deletion indicates a cleanup of obsolete test infrastructure.

The project's Gradle wrapper has been updated to use Gradle 9.5.1. This ensures that builds are executed with the specified distribution version, replacing any previous wrapper configuration.
