circular-progress-button

Pros of CircularProgressBar

• More customization options for progress bar appearance
• Supports both determinate and indeterminate progress modes
• Actively maintained with recent updates

Cons of CircularProgressBar

• Lacks built-in button functionality
• May require more setup for complex use cases

Code Comparison

CircularProgressBar:

val circularProgressBar = CircularProgressBar(context).apply {
    progress = 25
    progressMax = 100
    progressBarColor = Color.BLUE
    backgroundProgressBarColor = Color.GRAY
}

circular-progress-button:

CircularProgressButton circularButton = findViewById(R.id.circularButton);
circularButton.setIndeterminateProgressMode(true);
circularButton.setProgress(50);

CircularProgressBar offers more granular control over the progress bar's appearance, while circular-progress-button provides an integrated button with progress functionality. CircularProgressBar is better suited for standalone progress indicators, whereas circular-progress-button is ideal for actionable progress buttons.

Pros of android-circlebutton

• Simpler implementation focused solely on circular button functionality
• Lighter weight with fewer dependencies
• Easier to customize and extend for specific use cases

Cons of android-circlebutton

• Lacks built-in progress indicator functionality
• Less feature-rich compared to circular-progress-button
• Not actively maintained (last update in 2015)

Code Comparison

circular-progress-button:

CircularProgressButton circularButton = (CircularProgressButton) findViewById(R.id.circularButton);
circularButton.setIndeterminateProgressMode(true);
circularButton.setProgress(50);

android-circlebutton:

CircleButton circleButton = (CircleButton) findViewById(R.id.circleButton);
circleButton.setColor(Color.BLUE);
circleButton.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_action_tick);

The code comparison shows that circular-progress-button offers built-in progress functionality, while android-circlebutton focuses on basic circular button customization. circular-progress-button provides more options for handling progress states, whereas android-circlebutton is simpler to use for basic circular button implementations.

Both libraries offer custom attributes for styling, but circular-progress-button provides more extensive options for progress-related customization. android-circlebutton may be preferred for projects requiring a lightweight circular button without progress indicators, while circular-progress-button is better suited for applications needing integrated progress functionality in their buttons.

Pros of Android-SpinKit

• Offers a wider variety of loading animations (8 different styles)
• Provides more customization options for colors and sizes
• Easier to implement for simple loading indicators

Cons of Android-SpinKit

• Lacks built-in button functionality
• Does not provide state management for progress indicators
• May require additional code for integrating with buttons or other UI elements

Code Comparison

Android-SpinKit:

<com.github.ybq.android.spinkit.SpinKitView
    android:id="@+id/spin_kit"
    style="@style/SpinKitView.Large.Circle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center" />

circular-progress-button:

<com.dd.CircularProgressButton
    android:id="@+id/circularButton"
    android:layout_width="196dp"
    android:layout_height="64dp"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    app:cpb_textComplete="@string/Complete"
    app:cpb_textError="@string/Error"
    app:cpb_textIdle="@string/Upload" />

Android-SpinKit focuses on providing various loading animations, while circular-progress-button combines button functionality with progress indication. The choice between the two depends on specific project requirements and desired user interface elements.

Pros of SmoothProgressBar

• Offers a wider variety of progress bar styles, including horizontal and circular options
• Provides smoother animations and transitions between progress states
• Supports indeterminate progress animations out of the box

Cons of SmoothProgressBar

• Less focused on button-specific functionality compared to circular-progress-button
• May require more customization for use in button contexts
• Documentation is not as extensive as circular-progress-button

Code Comparison

SmoothProgressBar:

<fr.castorflex.android.smoothprogressbar.SmoothProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:spb_color="#FF0000"
    app:spb_sections_count="4"
    app:spb_speed="2.0"
    app:spb_stroke_width="4dp"
    app:spb_stroke_separator_length="4dp"/>

circular-progress-button:

<com.dd.CircularProgressButton
    android:id="@+id/circularButton"
    android:layout_width="196dp"
    android:layout_height="64dp"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    app:cpb_textComplete="@string/Complete"
    app:cpb_textError="@string/Error"
    app:cpb_textIdle="@string/Upload"/>

Both libraries offer easy-to-use XML implementations, but circular-progress-button is more focused on button-specific attributes, while SmoothProgressBar provides more general progress bar customization options.
