Android material backdrop

Material backdrop concept representation in Android as simple as possible.

Explanations

Only base features of MotionLayout used to achieve such behaviour.

<MotionScene ...
  >
	
  <Transition app:constraintSetStart="@id/backdropCollapsed"
    app:constraintSetEnd="@id/backdropExpanded">
		
    <OnSwipe app:dragDirection="dragUp"
      app:touchAnchorId="@id/frontContentContainer"
      app:dragScale="1.5" <-- makes swipe more natural by increasing its scale by 150%
      app:nestedScrollFlags="disableScroll" <-- important, this flag prevent -->
      <-- starting transition when RecyclerView reaches the start (or the end) after scroll -->
      />
		
    ...
	
  </Transition>
  
  
  <ConstraintSet android:id="@+id/backdropCollapsed" /> <-- base state (mathes our activity_main.xml) -->
	
  <ConstraintSet android:id="@+id/backdropExpanded">

    <Constraint android:id="@+id/frontContentContainer"
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_height="0dp"

      app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
      app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
      
      app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/backdropBackground"  <-- main difference,
      <--  makes our RecyclerView container align bottom of backdrop content -->
      <--  this gives us imitation of BottomSheet appearance and elevation -->
     
      />

  </ConstraintSet>


</MotionScene>

How it can be done another simple way?

You can opt out of using the MotionLayout, make all the same in ConstraintLayout or FrameLayout as a main container.

Place all staff one on top of the other and use something like this:

//register container swipe listener
...a lot of code here...

//somewhere in your listener
//calculate your backdrop content bottom coords
val backdropBottom = containerBackdrop.height // the real case could be more complex
...
//this will slide your front content to bottom
FrontContentContainer.animate().translationY(backdropBottom).start()
...

//this will slide your front content back
FrontContentContainer.animate().translationY(initPos).start()
