Katana

Binds views and resources easily. Really easily. Everywhere.

Dependency

To use add library as dependency to your build.gradle

compile 'com.dewarder:katana:1.0.0' 

Example

//views val myBeautyView: BeautyView by view(R.id.beauty_view) val myImage: ImageView? by viewOptional(R.id.my_image) val labels: List<BeautyLabel> by views(R.id.top_label, R.id.bottom_label)

//drawable val myBeautyViewBackground by drawable(R.drawable.beauty_background) val myImage by bitmap(R.drawable.beauty_image)

//strings val serverErrorMessage by string(R.string.message_server_error)

//dimens val myBeautyViewHeight by dimen(R.dimen.beauty_view_height) val myBeautyViewTestSize by dimen(R.dimen.beauty_view_text_size, DimensionType.SP)

//ints val animationDuration by integer(R.integer.fade_in_animation_duration)
  

How?

That's pure magic. No, it's Kotlin and it's delegates!

Why?

• Clearer to understand - no split between variable declaration and assignment
• Immutability - once resource assigned it will be same all time. Bye-bye lateinit var
• Laziness - resource initialized when it accessed first time
• No boilerplate code - forget about findViewById as Something and ContextCompat.getDrawable
• No autogeneration of code - no annotation processing, no plugins, no a lot of generated classes

What?

Library supports:

• Views
• Strings
• Colors
• Dimens
• Integers
• Drawables/ Bitmap
• Animations

into:

• Activity
• Fragment (default and support)
• Dialog
• View
• Paste your classname here

Also there is support of multiply and nullable resources ( viewOptional, views, viewsOptional)

As said, it works everywhere. If it isn't standard Android component just implement ViewFinderProvider for view binding or/and ContextProvider for resource binding.

- Oh noo, I must do something!

Hey, take a look:

class MyClass(val external: View) : ViewFinderProvider {

  override fun provideViewFinder() = external::findViewById 
}
  class MySecondClass(val context: Context) : ContextProvider {

  override fun provideContext() = context 
}

That's all. Not so much, yep?
