Install and use Fluent UI
Requirements
API 21+
1. Using Gradle
Our library is now published using MavenCentral, so make sure the mavenCentral() repository has been added to your project level build.gradle file if you want to consume versions >= 0.0.17.
If you are still using older versions you can consume jcenter() too. Please note it will only work for versions <=0.0.16
Inside the dependency block in your build.gradle, add this line for the FluentUI library:
Make sure you replace $version with the latest version of FluentUI.
From version 0.0.12, individual modules can also be used by applications as per need. E.g To use just BottomSheet control which is part of fluentui_drawer module, following block can be added to build.gradle
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.microsoft.fluentui:fluentui_drawer:$version'
...
}
Replace ${version} with the latest version of fluentui_drawer
More information about contents of each module can be found in Modularization section
a) Develop for Surface-Duo:
- Please also add the following lines to your repositories section in your gradle script:
- Also add the SDK dependency to the module-level build.gradle file(current version may be different from what's shown here):
2. Using Maven
Add the FluentUI library as a dependency:
Make sure you replace ${version} with the latest version of FluentUI.
As in case of Gradle, here too, to use specific modules add dependency as follows:
Replace ${version} with the latest version of fluentui_drawer
Check Modularization for details of every module.
3. Manual installation
Modularized FluentUI manual installation involves building individual AARs of required modules
Download the latest changes from the Fluent UI Android repository.
Follow these instructions to build and output an AAR files from the FluentUI modules, import the module(s) to your project, and add it as a dependency. If you're having trouble generating an AAR file for the module, make sure you select it and run e.g "Make Module 'fluentui_drawer'" from the Build menu.
Some components have dependencies you will need to manually add to your app if you are using this library as an AAR artifact because these dependencies do not get included in the output.
- If using PeoplePickerView, include this dependency in your gradle file:
- If using CalendarView or DateTimePickerDialog, include this dependency in your gradle file:
- Double check that these library versions correspond to the latest versions we implement in the FluentUI build.gradle.
Import and use the library
In code:
import com.microsoft.fluentui.persona.AvatarView
In XML:
<com.microsoft.fluentui.persona.AvatarView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:name="Mona Kane" />
Demo app
Included in this repository is a demo of currently implemented controls. A full list of implemented controls available in the demo can be found here: Demos.
To see samples of all of our implemented controls and design language, run the FluentUI.Demo module in Android Studio.
Modularization
Starting from version 0.0.12, Fluent UI has been split into multiple modules by grouping related controls together. The main objective of this is to reduce the size impact of library on the applications which want to use only specific controls from Fluent UI
The list of modules and their respective controls is as follows
| Modules | v1 Controls | v2 Controls |
|---|---|---|
| fluentui_calendar | Calendar, DateTime Picker | |
| fluentui_ccb | ContextualCommandBar | |
| fluentui_controls | AnnouncementCard, BasicCard, BasicChip, Button, Checkbox, Citation, FileCard, FloatingActionButton, Label, RadioButton, TextField, ToggleSwitch | |
| fluentui_core | TemplateView, Utilities | |
| fluentui_drawer | Drawer, BottomSheet, Persistent BottomSheet | BottomSheet, Drawer |
| fluentui_listitem | ListItemView | ListContentBuilder, Divider, ListItem, TabItem |
| fluentui_menus | Pop up Menu | Dialog, Menu |
| fluentui_notification | Badge, CardNudge, NotificationCommon, Snackbar, ToolTip | |
| fluentui_others | Action Bar Layout, Bottom Navigation, Buttons, View Pager | |
| fluentui_persona | AvatarView, AvatarGroup View, PersonaChipView, PersonaListView | Avatar, AvatarCarousel, AvatarGroup, Persona, PersonaChip, PersonaList, SearchBarPersonaChip |
| fluentui_peoplepicker | PeoplePickerView | PeoplePicker |
| fluentui_progress | Linear Progress Bar, Circular Progress Bar | CircularProgressIndicator, LinearProgressIndicator, ProgressText, Shimmer |
| fluentui_tablayout | Tablayout | SideRail, TabBar, Pill, PillSwitch, PillTabs |
| fluentui_topappbars | Toolbar, AppBar Layout, SearchBar | AppBar, SearchBar |
| fluentui_transients | Snackbar, Tooltip |
