Card Library provides an easy way to display a UI Card in your Android app.

Card Library provides a custom tag CardView to display a UI Card.

• It provides different parts as a Header, a Thumbnail, a Shadow, a MainContentArea where you can inflate your custom layout

• You can customize the global layout as you like

• You can have some built-in features as OnClickListener, OnSwipeListener , OnLongClickListener

• CardHeader provides an overflow button with a PopupMenuListener, a button to expand/collapse an area, or a customizable button with its listener.

• CardThumbnail load a Bitmap with a resource ID or with a URL using LRUCache and an AsyncTask

• It requires API 14+

Please note that this is currently in a preview state. This means that the API is not fixed and you should expect changes between releases.

Create a Card is is pretty simple.

First, you need an XML layout that will display the Card.

        <it.gmariotti.cardslib.library.view.CardView
            android:id="@+id/carddemo"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="12dp"/>

Then create a model:

      //Create a Card
      Card card = new Card(getContext());

      //Create a CardHeader
      CardHeader header = new CardHeader(getContext());
      ....
      //Add Header to card
      card.addCardHeader(header);

Last get a reference to the CardView from your code, and set your `Card.

       //Set card in the cardView
       CardView cardView = (CardView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.carddemo);

       cardView.setCard(card);

Here you can find some pages to customize this tag.
