RaiflatButton Android Library

To use RaiflatButton, add the following dependency to your build.gradle file using Groovy syntax:

dependencies {
   compile 'com.github.rubensousa:raiflatbutton:0.1'
}

Because RaiflatButton and RaiflatImageButton extend AppCompatButton and AppCompatImageButton respectively, you can apply standard AppCompat styles to them. This allows you to reuse existing theme attributes like colorControlNormal.

<style name="RaiflatButtonPrimaryStyle" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
    <item name="android:colorControlNormal">?attr/colorPrimary</item>
</style>

You can include RaiflatButton or RaiflatImageButton directly in your XML layout files. RaiflatButton is used for text buttons, and RaiflatImageButton is used for icon-based buttons.

<com.github.rubensousa.raiflatbutton.RaiflatButton
    android:id="@+id/normalButton"
    style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Colored" />
    
<com.github.rubensousa.raiflatbutton.RaiflatImageButton
    android:id="@+id/imageButton"
    style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_android" />

If you want to disable the custom elevation behavior and return to standard button behavior, call setFlatEnabled(false) on the button instance in your Java code.

button.setFlatEnabled(false);
