About this widget

Filter Numeric Range is a filtering view made to filter between two numeric values. The most common interface for this is a slider.

The Android View and Compose UI code samples (part of the Android widget showcase repository on GitHub) illustrate the use of sliders.

Examples

Copy
class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    val searcher = HitsSearcher(
        applicationID = ApplicationID("YourApplicationID"),
        apiKey = APIKey("YourSearchOnlyAPIKey"),
        indexName = IndexName("YourIndexName")
    )
    val price = Attribute("price")
    val groupID = FilterGroupID(price)
    val primaryBounds = 0..15
    val initialRange = 0..15
    val filters = filters {
        group(groupID) {
            range(price, initialRange)
        }
    }
    val filterState = FilterState(filters)
    val range = FilterRangeConnector(
        filterState = filterState,
        attribute = price,
        range = initialRange,
        bounds = primaryBounds
    )
    val connection = ConnectionHandler(range, searcher.connectFilterState(filterState))

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        val view: NumberRangeView<Int> = MyNumberRangeView(textLabel) // your `NumberRangeView<T>` implementation
        connection += range.connectView(view)
        searcher.searchAsync()
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        connection.disconnect()
        searcher.cancel()
    }
}

Low-level API

If you want to fully control the Filter Numeric Range components and connect them manually, use the following components:

Searcher: The Searcher that handles your searches.
FilterState: The current state of the filters.
FilterRangeViewModel: The logic applied to the numeric ranges.
NumberRangeView: The view that renders the numeric range filter.

Copy
class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    val searcher = HitsSearcher(
        applicationID = ApplicationID("YourApplicationID"),
        apiKey = APIKey("YourSearchOnlyAPIKey"),
        indexName = IndexName("YourIndexName")
    )
    val filterState = FilterState()
    val attribute = Attribute("price")
    val viewModel = FilterRangeViewModel<Int>()
    val connection = ConnectionHandler()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        val view: NumberRangeView<Int> = MyNumberRangeView(textLabel) // your `NumberRangeView<T>` implementation
        connection += searcher.connectFilterState(filterState)
        connection += viewModel.connectFilterState(filterState, attribute)
        connection += viewModel.connectView(view)

        searcher.searchAsync()
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        connection.disconnect()
        searcher.cancel()
    }
}

Compose UI

InstantSearch provides the NumberRangeState as a state model, which is an implementation of the NumberRangeView interface. You need to connect NumberRangeState to the FilterRangeConnector or FilterRangeViewModel like any other NumberRangeView implementation.

Copy
class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    val searcher = HitsSearcher(
        applicationID = ApplicationID("YourApplicationID"),
        apiKey = APIKey("YourSearchOnlyAPIKey"),
        indexName = IndexName("YourIndexName")
    )
    val price = Attribute("price")
    val groupID = FilterGroupID(price)
    val primaryBounds = 0..15
    val initialRange = 0..15
    val filters = filters {
        group(groupID) {
            range(price, initialRange)
        }
    }
    val filterState = FilterState(filters)
    val sliderState = NumberRangeState<Int>()
    val range = FilterRangeConnector(
        filterState = filterState,
        attribute = price,
        range = initialRange,
        bounds = primaryBounds
    )
    val connections = ConnectionHandler(range)

    init {
        connections += searcher.connectFilterState(filterState)
        connections += range.connectView(sliderState)
    }

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            MyRangeSlider(sliderState) // your own UI composable to display range and bounds as `Range<T>`
        }
        searcher.searchAsync()
    }

    fun Range<Int>.toClosedFloatRange(): ClosedFloatingPointRange<Float> {
        return min.toFloat()..max.toFloat()
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        connections.disconnect()
        searcher.cancel()
    }
}
