Creating Fluid Page Transitions with BezierViewPager Library

the BezierViewPager library is a robust tool in the arsenal of an Android developer, aiming to swiftly implement Bezier curve transition effects for a more engaging user experience.

In the modern era, user interaction with digital interfaces is no longer static. A fluid, intuitive, and visually appealing user experience is the expectation, not an exception. The BezierViewPager library, an open-source initiative by qdxxxx, leverages Kotlin and Jetpack Compose to meet this expectation on Android platforms. By infusing the classic ViewPager with Bezier curve transitions, it elevates the ordinary to extraordinary.

Here's a closer look at what BezierViewPager brings to the table:

  1. Bezier Curve Transition Effects: It creates a smooth, visually appealing transition effect using Bezier curves as you swipe through pages.
  2. Customizable Control Points for Bezier Curves: Tailor the control points to alter the shape of the Bezier curve to your liking.
  3. Adjustable Transition Animation Duration: Control the speed of transition animations to match the rhythm of your application.

Employing BezierViewPager is a straightforward affair. A simple addition of the following dependency to your Android project, and you're all set to enchant your users:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.qdxxxx:bezierviewpager:1.2.0'
}

Here's a snippet showcasing the simplicity of implementing BezierViewPager:

// Create BezierViewPager
val bezierViewPager = BezierViewPager(this)

// Add pages
bezierViewPager.addPage(ImageView(this).apply {
    setImageResource(R.drawable.page_1)
})
bezierViewPager.addPage(ImageView(this).apply {
    setImageResource(R.drawable.page_2)
})

// Set Bezier curve control points
bezierViewPager.setCurveControlPoints(
    ControlPoint(0.1f, 0.1f),
    ControlPoint(0.9f, 0.9f)
)

// Set transition animation duration
bezierViewPager.setTransitionDuration(1000)

// Display
bezierViewPager.show()

Upon executing this example, a ViewPager with a mesmerizing Bezier curve transition effect unveils. Further, if you wish to tweak the control points of the Bezier curve, BezierViewPager extends the freedom to do so.

// Set Bezier curve control points
bezierViewPager.setCurveControlPoints(
    ControlPoint(0.1f, 0.1f),
    ControlPoint(0.9f, 0.9f)
)
