PixSlideBar

What is PixSlideBar?

PixSlideBar is an Android UI library that provides a “slide to confirm” style button component. Instead of a simple tap, users must slide the button all the way to the end to trigger an action. This pattern is commonly used for:

• Confirming destructive actions (delete, cancel)
• Unlocking/starting important workflows
• Preventing accidental taps
• Creating more engaging user interactions

Key Features

• Smooth Animations: Fluid sliding motion with modern design
• Customizable: Configure colors, text, icons, and dimensions
• Easy Integration: Drop-in XML layout component
• Callback Support: Simple interface for handling slide completion
• Material Design: Follows Android design guidelines

Installation

Via JitPack

Add JitPack to your project-level build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add the dependency to your app-level build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.amannirala13:PixSlideBar:{Latest_version}'
}

Via JCenter

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.amannirala13.pixslidebar:PixSlideBar:{Latest_version}'
}

Usage

Add to XML Layout

<com.amannirala13.pixslidebar.PixSlideBar
    android:id="@+id/my_slide_bar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:message="Slide to confirm" />

Handle Slide Complete Event

slideBar.addOnSlideCompleteRunner(object: Runner {
    override fun execute() {
        Toast.makeText(
            this@MainActivity, 
            "Slide Complete", 
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
        ).show()
    }
})

Use Cases

• Order Confirmation: “Slide to place order”
• Account Deletion: “Slide to delete account”
• Payment Authorization: “Slide to pay”
• Alarm Dismissal: “Slide to dismiss”
• Unlock Actions: “Slide to unlock”

Why Slide-to-Confirm?

Traditional tap buttons can lead to accidental actions, especially on mobile devices. The slide-to-confirm pattern:

• Requires intentional user action
• Reduces accidental triggers
• Provides visual feedback during the action
• Creates a more memorable interaction
• Is familiar from iOS “slide to unlock” patterns
