Usage
Binding views
// instead of findViewById(R.id.textView) as TextView val textView = find<TextView>(R.id.textView)Accessing ViewGroup children
/* instead of: for (i in 0..layout - 1) {
layout.getChildAt(i).visibility = View.GONE
}
*/ layout.views.forEach {
it.visibility = View.GONE
}
TextWatcher
/* instead of: editText.addTextChangedListener(object : TextWatcher {
override fun beforeTextChanged(s: CharSequence?, start: Int, count: Int, after: Int) {
before()
}
override fun onTextChanged(s: CharSequence?, start: Int, before: Int, count: Int) {
onChange()
}
override fun afterTextChanged(s: Editable?) {
after()
}
}
) */ editText.textWatcher {
beforeTextChanged {
text, start, count, after -> before()
}
onTextChanged {
text, start, before, count -> onChange()
}
afterTextChanged {
text -> after()
}
}
SearchView extensions
/* instead of: searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextChange(q: String): Boolean {
update(q)
return false
}
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(q: String): Boolean {
return false
}
}
) */ searchView.onQueryChange {
query -> update(query)
}
/* instead of: searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(object : SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
override fun onQueryTextChange(q: String): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onQueryTextSubmit(q: String): Boolean {
update(q)
return false
}
}
) */ searchView.onQuerySubmit {
query -> update(query)
}
SeekBar extension
/* instead of: seekBar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(object : SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {
override fun onStopTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar) {
}
override fun onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar?) {
}
override fun onProgressChanged(seekBar: SeekBar, progress: Int, fromUser: Boolean) {
mediaPlayer.seekTo(progress)
}
}
) */ seekBar.onProgressChanged {
progress, fromUser ->
if (fromUser) mediaPlayer.seekTo(progress)
}
Using system services
// instead of getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager? windowManager // instead of getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE) as PowerManager? powerManager // instead of getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager? notificationManager // instead of getSystemService(Context.USER_SERVICE) as UserManager? userManager // etc.Toast messages
longToast("I'm long toast message!") toast("Hi, I'm short one!") longToast(R.string.my_string) toast(R.string.my_string)Layout inflater
// instead of LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.some_layout, null, false) context.inflateLayout(R.layout.some_layout) // or context.inflateLayout(R.layout.some_layout, attachToRoot = true)Using Intents
// instead of Intent(this, javaClass<SampleActivity>()) val intent = IntentFor<SampleActivity>(this) // instead of startActivity(Intent(this, javaClass<SampleActivity>())) startActivity<SampleActivity>() // instead of startActivityForResult(Intent(this, javaClass<SampleActivity>()), REQUEST_CODE) startActivityForResult<SampleActivity>(REQUEST_CODE)Logging
// using javaClass.simpleName as a TAG w("Warn log message") e("Error log message") wtf("WTF log message") // using lambda log method v {
"Verbose log message"
}
d {
"Debug log message"
}
i {
"Info log message"
}
// or with custom TAG v("CustomTag", "Verbose log message with custom tag") Threading
// instead of Thread(Runnable {
/* long execution */
}
).start() runAsync {
// long execution
}
// delayed run (e.g. after 1000 millis) // equals Handler().postDelayed(Runnable {
/* delayed execution */
}
, delayMillis) runDelayed(1000) {
// delayed execution
}
// run on Main Thread outside Activity // equals Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).post(Runnable {
/* UI update */
}
) runOnUiThread {
// UI update
}
// delayed run on Main Thread // equals Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(Runnable {
/* delayed UI update */
}
, delayMillis) runDelayedOnUiThread(5000) {
// delayed UI update
}
From/To API SDK
// instead of if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
/* run methods available since API 21 */
}
fromApi(21) {
// run methods available since API 21
}
// instead of if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
/* handle devices using older APIs */
}
toApi(16) {
// handle devices running older APIs
}
// or // instead of if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 16) {
/* handle devices using older APIs */
}
toApi(16, inclusive = true) {
// handle devices running older APIs
}
Loading animation from xml
// instead of AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(applicationContext, R.anim.slide_in_left) loadAnimation(R.anim.slide_in_left)Animation listener
/*instead of: animation.setAnimationListener(object : Animation.AnimationListener{
override fun onAnimationStart(animation: Animation?) {
onStart()
}
override fun onAnimationEnd(animation: Animation?) {
onEnd()
}
override fun onAnimationRepeat(animation: Animation) {
onRepeat()
}
}
)*/ animation.animListener {
onAnimationStart {
onStart()
}
onAnimationEnd {
onEnd()
}
onAnimationRepeat {
onRepeat()
}
}
Web intents with url validation
// instead of Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://github.com")) WebIntent("http://github.com")More
