Vortex App – Small Fixes and Redesign for RecyclerView

In our ongoing effort to refine the user interface, we’ve made several targeted improvements to the RecyclerView component within the Vortex App. These adjustments enhance the overall appearance and usability of the Animations section. The updates are as follows:

• CustomSnapHelper Replacement:
  We replaced the previously used AggressiveSnapHelper with our own CustomSnapHelper. This change provides more controlled snapping behavior, ensuring that items in the RecyclerView align more precisely with the intended selection area.

• Padding Correction:
  A small but significant adjustment was made to the padding for the first item in the RecyclerView. This correction ensures that the very first item is positioned correctly, maintaining consistent spacing and alignment across all items.

• Updated Button Background Resource:
  The resource formerly known as test_button_background_carousel has been renamed to button_background_with_outline. This new name better reflects its purpose and visual style, contributing to a cleaner, more cohesive design.

• Selection Overlay Adjustment:
  The selection_overlay in the Animations section has been moved higher. This repositioning ensures that the overlay now better highlights the currently selected item, improving visual feedback and user interaction.

• Addition of dimens.xml Resource:
  We have added a dimens.xml file to centralize dimension values such as padding, margins, and spacing. This resource makes it easier to maintain consistent measurements across the app and simplifies future updates.

Together, these improvements fine-tune the visual presentation and behavior of the RecyclerView, resulting in a more polished and user-friendly experience.
