Circle Menu in Android | Android Studio | Java

In this tutorial, we’re going to see how to add a circle menu in android. The Circle menu is a simple, elegant UI menu with a circular layout and material design animations.

Before going to create it, let’s see what we’re going to create

Now, let’s create it

Step 1: Add the dependency

in the build.gradle App file adds the dependency for the circle menu.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.ramotion.circlemenu:circle-menu:0.3.2'
}

Step 2: Add the menu icons

in the value, resource file creates a new value resource file where we are going to add our menu icons.

buttons.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <!-- we need two arrays, one for the icons and one for the colors of the icons-->
    <!-- icons array-->
    <array name="icons">
        <item>@drawable/ic_home_white_24dp</item>
        <item>@drawable/ic_search_white_24dp</item>
        <item>@drawable/ic_notifications_white_24dp</item>
        <item>@drawable/ic_settings_white_24dp</item>
        <item>@drawable/ic_place_white_24dp</item>
    </array>
    <!-- icons colors-->
    <array name="colors">
        <item>@android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
        <item>@android:color/holo_green_dark</item>
        <item>@android:color/holo_red_light</item>
        <item>@android:color/holo_purple</item>
        <item>@android:color/holo_orange_light</item>
    </array>
</resources>

Step 3: Add the circle menu in the main XML file

now in the main XML file add the circle menu widget and also import the icon and color array.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:background="@android:color/black">
    <com.ramotion.circlemenu.CircleMenuView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/circle_menu"
        app:button_colors="@array/colors"
        app:button_icons="@array/icons"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Step 4: Add the functionality

now in the main Java class add our circle menu and add the event click listener on it.

package com.codewithgolap.circlemenu;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import com.ramotion.circlemenu.CircleMenuView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        final CircleMenuView menu = findViewById(R.id.circle_menu);
        menu.setEventListener(new CircleMenuView.EventListener(){
            @Override
            public void onMenuOpenAnimationStart(@NonNull CircleMenuView view) {
                Log.d("D","onMenuOpenAnimationStart");
            }
            @Override
            public void onMenuOpenAnimationEnd(@NonNull CircleMenuView view) {
                Log.d("D","onMenuOpenAnimationEnd");
            }
            @Override
            public void onMenuCloseAnimationStart(@NonNull CircleMenuView view) {
                Log.d("D","onMenuCloseAnimationStart");
            }
            @Override
            public void onMenuCloseAnimationEnd(@NonNull CircleMenuView view) {
                Log.d("D","onMenuCloseAnimationEnd");
            }
            @Override
            public void onButtonClickAnimationStart(@NonNull CircleMenuView view, int index) {
                Log.d("D","onButtonClickAnimationStart|index: "+index);
            }
            @Override
            public void onButtonClickAnimationEnd(@NonNull CircleMenuView view, int index) {
                Log.d("D","onButtonClickAnimationEnd|index: "+index);
            }
            @Override
            public boolean onButtonLongClick(@NonNull CircleMenuView view, int buttonIndex) {
                Log.d("D","onButtonLongClick|index: "+buttonIndex);
                return true;
            }
            @Override
            public void onButtonLongClickAnimationStart(@NonNull CircleMenuView view, int buttonIndex) {
                Log.d("D","onButtonLongClickAnimationStart|index: "+buttonIndex);
            }
            @Override
            public void onButtonLongClickAnimationEnd(@NonNull CircleMenuView view, int buttonIndex) {
                Log.d("D","onButtonLongClickAnimationEnd|index: "+buttonIndex);
            }
        });
    }
}
