BlueTape
Data binding library for Android which is:
- Lightweight
- Doing one thing and doing it well
- Easily extendable
- Fully covered with unit tests
- Working great with Jack, Retrolambda or Kotlin
Getting started
Here is a simple yet common example of how to use BlueTape:
BlueTape blueTape = BlueTape
.with(() -> composite(
// More about composite() later
id(R.id.text,
// id() takes id of the view and list of functions which will bind data to this view
text(someVariable),
// text() is assigning text to current TextView. No cast needed!
textColor(Color.RED)
// Following the same logic textColor() changes the color of the text
),
id(R.id.button,
onClick(v -> doSomething())
// onClick() works as `setOnClickListener` on a normal button
)
))
.into(this);
// "this" might be either an Activity or a View blueTape.update();
// applies default valuesNow, every time data is updated we can trigger BlueTape to update all data in the views:
someVariable = "New value"; blueTape.update();
// This will re-bind all views which we declared beforeAdd it to your project
Gradle:
