ACN Android Framework

ACN Android Framework is being developed to reduce application development effort and time providing custom...

1. Application and Activity classes that encapsulate general configuration of application and initialization of many widely-used third-party libraries.
2. View classes with sophisticated, yet easy-to-use features, powered by default views of Android and other third-party views shared on GitHub.

See test module for sample usage of the framework.

1. Context classes

The following classes can be found under context package:

AcnApplication (abstract class, extends Application)

• Application class that extends AcnApplication needs to provide required params inside constructor method:

super.build()

.cacheSize(1024 * 1024 * 5) // in bytes -- default: 1 kB

.appFont("MyFont.ttf")

// located in the directory "assets/fonts/"

.imageCacheInMemory(true)
// default: false

.imageCacheOnDisk(true)
  // default: false

  // required

 // nullable

.backButtonVisible(true)

// default: false

4. How to use

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {

  repositories {

...

maven {
 url "https://jitpack.io" 
}

  
}
 
}
 

Step 2. Add the dependency:

dependencies {

  compile 'com.github.ugurcany:acn-android-framework:X.Y.Z' 
}
 

Step 3. To be able to use all features of the framework, add the corresponding dependencies for the following libraries:

• Otto Event Bus
• AndroidBaseUtils
• Reservoir
• Butter Knife
• ReactiveNetwork
• Iconify -> required for AcnTextView
• FancyButton -> required for AcnButton
