BadgeDrawable

public class BadgeDrawable
extends Drawable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Drawable
     ↳ com.google.android.material.badge.BadgeDrawable

BadgeDrawable contains all the layout and draw logic for a badge.

You can use BadgeDrawable to display dynamic information such as a number of pending requests in a BottomNavigationView. To create an instance of BadgeDrawable, use create(Context) or createFromResource(Context, int). How to add and display a BadgeDrawable on top of its anchor view depends on the API level:

For API 18+ (APIs supported by ViewOverlay)

  • Add BadgeDrawable as a ViewOverlay to the desired anchor view using BadgeUtils#attachBadgeDrawable(BadgeDrawable, View, FrameLayout) (This helper class is currently experimental).
  • Update the BadgeDrawable BadgeDrawable's coordinates (center and bounds) based on its anchor view using updateBadgeCoordinates(View, FrameLayout). 
 BadgeDrawable badgeDrawable = BadgeDrawable.create(context);
 badgeDrawable.setVisible(true);
 BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, anchor);

For Pre API-18

Option 1: BadgeDrawable will dynamically create and wrap the anchor view in a FrameLayout, then insert the FrameLayout into the anchor view original position in the view hierarchy. Same syntax as API 18+ 
 BadgeDrawable badgeDrawable = BadgeDrawable.create(context);
 badgeDrawable.setVisible(true);
 BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, anchor);
Option 2: If you do not want BadgeDrawable to modify your view hierarchy, you can specify a FrameLayout to display the badge instead. 
 BadgeDrawable badgeDrawable = BadgeDrawable.create(context);
 BadgeUtils.attachBadgeDrawable(badgeDrawable, anchor, anchorFrameLayoutParent);

By default, BadgeDrawable is aligned to the top and end edges of its anchor view (with some offsets). Call setBadgeGravity(int) to change it to one of the other supported modes. To adjust the badge's offsets w.r.t. the anchor's center, use setHorizontalOffset(int), setVerticalOffset(int)

Note: This is still under development and may not support the full range of customization Material Android components generally support (e.g. themed attributes).

updateBadgeCoordinates

public void updateBadgeCoordinates (View anchorView, 
                ViewGroup customBadgeParent)

This method is deprecated.
use updateBadgeCoordinates(View, FrameLayout) instead.

Calculates and updates this badge's center coordinates based on its anchor's bounds. Internally also updates this BadgeDrawable BadgeDrawable's bounds, because they are dependent on the center coordinates. For pre API-18, coordinates will be calculated relative to customBadgeParent because the BadgeDrawable will be set as the parent's foreground.

Parameters
anchorView View: This badge's anchor.
customBadgeParent ViewGroup: An optional parent view that will set this BadgeDrawable as its foreground.

updateBadgeCoordinates

public void updateBadgeCoordinates (View anchorView, 
                FrameLayout customBadgeParent)

Calculates and updates this badge's center coordinates based on its anchor's bounds. Internally also updates this BadgeDrawable BadgeDrawable's bounds, because they are dependent on the center coordinates.

For pre API-18, if no customBadgeParent is specified, optionally wrap the anchor in a FrameLayout (if it's not done already) that will be inserted into the anchor's view hierarchy and calculate the badge's coordinates the parent FrameLayout because the BadgeDrawable will be set as the parent's foreground.

Parameters
anchorView View: This badge's anchor.
customBadgeParent FrameLayout: An optional parent view that will set this BadgeDrawable as its foreground.

updateBadgeCoordinates

public void updateBadgeCoordinates (View anchorView)

Calculates and updates this badge's center coordinates based on its anchor's bounds. Internally also updates this BadgeDrawable BadgeDrawable's bounds, because they are dependent on the center coordinates.

For pre API-18, optionally wrap the anchor in a FrameLayout (if it's not done already) that will be inserted into the anchor's view hierarchy and calculate the badge's coordinates the parent FrameLayout because the BadgeDrawable will be set as the parent's foreground.

Parameters
anchorView View: This badge's anchor.
