[FIXED] Slanting or Sloping UI design in Android

Issue

I am trying to design an UI very similar to this. I have been able to design it almost similar to the image above, but am not getting a way to implement the slanting or sloping part.

1) Can any one give an example layout of how can I implement the slanting layout?

2) And how can I place the FAB right there over the slant portion?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Solution

You can create a custom view with Slant top using Canvas and then place it over your TextView, to achieve this look and feel.

Code snippet for slant top custom view:

public class SlantView extends View {
    private Context mContext;
    Paint paint ;
    Path path;

    public SlantView(Context ctx, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(ctx, attrs);
        mContext = ctx;
        setWillNotDraw(false);
        paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

        int w = getWidth(), h = getHeight();
        paint.setStrokeWidth(2);
        paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
        paint.setAntiAlias(true);

        path = new Path();
        path.setFillType(Path.FillType.EVEN_ODD);
        path.moveTo(0,0);
        path.lineTo(0,h);
        path.lineTo(w,h);
        path.close();
        canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
    }
}

Code snippet for how to use it with TextView

<com.pix.app.views.SlantView
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="30dp"
   android:id="@+id/slant_view"
 />

 <TextView/>
