v1.2.0 (2026)

SDK 30 & Maven Central

• To enable publication to Maven Central in 2026, the project was rebuilt with a modernized build system and now targets SDK 30 as low as it allowed (2026).
• No changes to the existing code.

Message to the community

In March 2026, I republished to Maven Central to restore proper distribution and long-term availability.
The last version number (1.2.0) has been preserved to maintain historical continuity with the 2018 release.

v1.2.0 (2018)

Library was only available in JCenter, which shutdown in August 2024.

Project update:

• Android Studio 3.2
• AndroidX 1.0.0
• SDK 28
• Gradle 4.10.2

v1.1.3

• Pulled #13: Improved "checked" status, it had wrong value after flipping programmatically more than 2 times.
• DemoApp: changed signature and fixed scrolling in landscape.
• Upgraded project.

v1.1.2

• Fixed #7: don't flip if the target child is the one currently displayed
• Reviewed comments for javaDoc
• Upgraded project and demoApp for API 25

v1.1.1

• Added support to enable/disable flipping programmatically. Overridden setClickable() and setEnabled() [See #8].
• Adapted demo App to show how to make clickable/enabled/disabled the view.

v1.1.0

• New attribute app:rearImageAnimationDelay with relative method.
• Fixed bugs #4 #5 #6.
• Overridden showNext() & showPrevious() methods from ViewAnimator: now they perform the flip accordingly with the existing
  settings and register its state.
• Since the FlipView uses shapes to define its border and shadows, one can use app:frontBackground & app:rearBackground
  for the custom Drawable with the desired shape, color and stroke, which always override inner Drawables.
  Alternatively you can do this also by assigning the resource to android:background of the custom layout.
  Because of that, at runtime, the method setChildBackgroundDrawable(child, drawable) has been reviewed (#2 #3).
• Instead, if you want to use the inner Drawable (OvalShape) and only change color with alpha value, you can do it
  at design time with app:frontBackgroundColor & app:rearBackgroundColor and at runtime with the new method
  setChildBackgroundColor(child, color): it always creates an OvalShape with the custom color (#2 #3).
  Note: setBackgroundColor is the method of android.view.View, so it does the default job!
• First version of ShapeDrawables static methods (Oval, Arc, RoundRect).
• Added new static method to enable/disable logs at runtime, debug logs are disabled by default.
• Added methods to retrieve front and rear ImageViews and front TextView objects.
• Automatic layer type software when setting PictureDrawable for SVG files (applied on ImageView reference only!).
• Adapted example to show Autostart and how 2 entire layouts can be animated ;-)
