In this project, there is an app to download a file from Internet by clicking on a custom-built button where:
- The width of the button gets animated from left to right.
- The text gets changed based on different states of the button.
- The circle gets be animated from 0 to 360 degrees.
A notification will be sent once the download is complete. When a user clicks on notification, the user lands on detail activity and the notification gets dismissed. In detail activity, the status of the download will be displayed and animated via MotionLayout upon opening the activity.
After downloading the starter code, I started to create the options radio-buttons list for the 3 links. After that, I created a custom downloading button with a meaningful downloading animation. Finally, I made a notification to notify the user after the download is finished successfully and enabled in the notification action to go to the download details page (fragment).
