Android Templates and Utilities

Android Templates and Utilities is a collection of source codes, utilities, templates and snippets for Android development. It helps to build new apps and shows the best way how to implement certain things on Android platform.

I write these templates for my personal need. I use it almost every day for developing apps. It is something like cookbook for me. All my apps are based on these templates.

Note that all reusable utilities and classes have been moved to a new standalone library Alfonz. These templates use Alfonz as a dependency.

Content

In this repo you can find templates for styling app, handling activity result, working with alarm manager, animations, sending and receiving broadcasts, using dual pane layout, loading and caching images, working with intents, map, navigation drawer, showing notifications, working with parcelable, preferences, running service, setting SSL connection, timer, working with view pager, webview and much more. All templates were tested and should be compatible with Android 4.1 (API level 16).

Android Templates and Utilities are organized into 3 groups:

Base - basic skeleton of the Android project
Res - resource code including xml files, images
Src - source code including classes, resources

Usage

How to use these templates? Just copy a template into your project, rename package "com.example" to your own package name, rename classes' or resource's names if you want and customize the code to your needs. Some templates have /src/fragment/ExampleFragment.java class which demonstrates how to use the template in a Fragment.

Example

Example of creating a basic app skeleton with 1 Activity and 1 Fragment via Android Studio:

Create a new Android project with package name "com.example"
Copy & paste Base
Copy & paste Res-Placeholder
Copy & paste Res-Strings
Copy & paste Res-Theme
Copy & paste Src-Application-Class
Copy & paste Src-Config
Copy & paste Src-MVC-Activity
Copy & paste Src-MVC-Fragment
Add Alfonz dependencies in /mobile/build.gradle
Initialize Logcat utility inside ExampleApplication.onCreate(): Logcat.init(ExampleConfig.LOGS, "EXAMPLE");
Open ExampleActivity.java and comment out onCreateOptionsMenu(...) and onOptionsItemSelected(...) methods
Build the project and voilà, we have a basic MVC skeleton for our future app
