Design inspired by Phonograph.

Step 1: Your Activity must extend MaterialAboutActivity and be in your AndroidManifest.xml:
public class ExampleMaterialAboutActivity extends MaterialAboutActivity {
@Override
protected MaterialAboutList getMaterialAboutList() {
return new MaterialAboutList.Builder()
.build();
}
@Override
protected CharSequence getActivityTitle() {
return getString(R.string.mal_title_about);
}
}Ensure that the theme extends 'Theme.Mal', and apply primary & accent colours.
<manifest ...>
<application ...>
<activity android:name=".ExampleMaterialAboutActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.MaterialAboutActivity"/>
</application>
</manifest> <style name="AppTheme.MaterialAboutActivity" parent="Theme.Mal" >
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>Step 2: Add Cards:
Start building a "card" using MaterialAboutCard.Builder()
public class ExampleMaterialAboutActivity extends MaterialAboutActivity {
@Override
protected MaterialAboutList getMaterialAboutList() {
MaterialAboutCard.Builder appCardBuilder = new MaterialAboutCard.Builder();Give the card a title by calling .title on the Builder
authorCardBuilder.title("Author");Step 3: Add Items:
There are currently two types of item you can add to a card - MaterialAboutTitleItem and MaterialAboutActionItem. Planned items include "person" items which feature buttons to showcase a single person. Feel free to submit a PR or Issue for more item ideas.
MaterialAboutActionItem: Standard item with text, icon and optional subtext.MaterialAboutTitleItem: Larger item with large icon (eg app icon) and larger text.
MaterialAboutTitleItem is created with MaterialAboutTitleItem.Builder() and lets you specify text and an icon.
appCardBuilder.addItem(new MaterialAboutTitleItem.Builder()
.text("Material About Library")
.icon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.build());MaterialAboutActionItem is created with MaterialAboutActionItem.Builder() and lets you specify text, sub-text, an icon and an OnClickListener.
appCardBuilder.addItem(new MaterialAboutActionItem.Builder()
.text("Version")
.subText("1.0.0")
.icon(R.drawable.ic_about_info)
.setOnClickListener(new MaterialAboutActionItem.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick() {
Toast.makeText(ExampleMaterialAboutActivity.this, "Version Tapped", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
})
.build());Step 4: Return the list:
Create a MaterialAboutList using MaterialAboutList.Builder(), passing in the cards you would like to display.
return new MaterialAboutList.Builder()
.addCard(supportCardBuilder.build())
.build();
}
}Check out a working example in ExampleMaterialAboutActivity.java.
Tip: You can either use Strings / Drawables or Resources when creating MaterialAboutItem's
