DiagonalLayout is another Android UI library aimed at enabling non-rectangular, more dynamic layout patterns: it provides a custom layout container whose sides (top, bottom, left, right) can be clipped diagonally, producing slanted, angled UI containers. This is especially useful when you want to build visually striking, non-conventional layouts — e.g. a header section on a profile screen with a diagonal bottom edge, a card with angled border, or image backgrounds slanted across the screen. The library exposes XML attributes to set the diagonal angle, direction (left/right), and position (top/bottom/left/right), plus supports elevation so that shadows and Material-style depth are preserved. You embed your standard content (images, text, child views) inside the DiagonalLayout container, and it handles clipping/drawing. Although the author has archived the repo (so no new development), DiagonalLayout remains a useful tool for older Android projects requiring stylized layouts.

Features

  • Custom layout container with diagonally clipped edges (top, bottom, left, or right)
  • Configurable diagonal angle, direction, and position via XML attributes
  • Compatible with Android elevation / shadow rendering for depth effects
  • Simple integration — wrap any content inside the DiagonalLayout container and it will render clipped
  • Useful for creating stylized headers, cards, or background sections that break away from rectangular design
  • Released under Apache 2.0 license, with Maven/Gradle / JitPack support for easy inclusion
