Bottom sheets slide up from the bottom of the screen to reveal more content. They were added
to the Android Support Library in v25.1.0 version and supports
above all the versions.
Make sure the following dependency is added to your app's build.gradle file under dependencies
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.3.1'
Persistent Bottom Sheets
You can achieve a Persistent Bottom Sheet attaching a BottomSheetBehavior to a child View
of a CoordinatorLayout:
Then in your code you can create a reference using:
// The View with the BottomSheetBehavior
View bottomSheet = coordinatorLayout.findViewById(R.id.bottom_sheet);
BottomSheetBehavior mBottomSheetBehavior = BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet);
You can set the state of your BottomSheetBehavior using the setState() method:
You can use one of these states:
STATE_COLLAPSED: this collapsed state is the default and shows
just a portion of the layout along the bottom. The height can be controlled with the app:behavior_peekHeight attribute (defaults to 0)
STATE_EXPANDED: the fully expanded state of the bottom sheet, where either the whole bottom sheet is visible (if its height is less than the containing CoordinatorLayout) or the entire CoordinatorLayout is filled
STATE_HIDDEN: disabled by default
(and enabled with the app:behavior_hideable attribute), enabling this allows users to swipe down on the bottom sheet to completely hide the bottom sheet
Further to open or close the BottomSheet on click of a View of your choice, A Button let's say, here is how to toggle the sheet behavior and update view.
But BottomSheet behavior also has a feature where user can interact with the swipe UP or Down it with a DRAG motion. In such a case, we might not be able to update the dependent View (like the button above) If the Sheet state has changed. For that matter, you’d like to receive callbacks
of state changes, hence you can add a BottomSheetCallback to listen to user swipe events:
And if you only want your Bottom Sheet to be visible only in COLLAPSED and EXPANDED mode toggles and never HIDE use:
You can also display
a BottomSheetDialogFragment in place of a View in the bottom sheet. To do this, you first need to create a new class that extends BottomSheetDialogFragment.
Within the setupDialog() method, you can inflate a new layout file and retrieve the BottomSheetBehavior of the container view in your Activity. Once you have the behavior, you can create and associate a BottomSheetCallback with it to dismiss the Fragment when the sheet is hidden.
Finally, you can call show() on an instance of your Fragment to display it in the bottom sheet.
