LeoCardz Link Preview for Android

It makes a preview from an url, grabbing all the information such as title, relevant texts and images.

Visual Examples

Sample App

For a sample app, please install it from Android Link Preview on Google Play.

Requirements

jsoup is a smart lib to get the html code.

Installation

gradle

Simply add the repository to your build.gradle file:

repositories {
  jcenter()  maven {
 url 'https://github.com/leonardocardoso/mvn-repo/raw/master/maven-deploy' 
}
 
}

And you can use the artifacts like this:

dependencies {

  compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.3' // required  compile 'com.leocardz:link-preview:2.0.0@aar'  // ... 
}

ProGuard

If you use ProGuard, it is advised that you keep the jsoup dependencies by adding

-keeppackagenames org.jsoup.nodes

to your ProGuard rules file.

Usage

Instantiating

import com.leocardz.link.preview.library.TextCrawler; // ... // Create an instance of the TextCrawler to parse your url into a preview. TextCrawler textCrawler = new TextCrawler();
  // ..  // Create the callbacks to handle pre and post exicution of the preview generation. LinkPreviewCallback linkPreviewCallback = new LinkPreviewCallback() {

  @Override
  public void onPre() {

// Any work that needs to be done before generating the preview. Usually inflate 

// your custom preview layout here.
  
}

@Override
  public void onPos(SourceContent sourceContent, boolean b) {

// Populate your preview layout with the results of sourceContent.
  
}
 
}
;

Generate Preview

textCrawler.makePreview( linkPreviewCallback, url);

Cancel unfinished tasks when views are destroied.

If you are using Android Link Preview inside of an Activity, it is important to cancel unfinished Preview activites at the end of the Activity's lifecycle.

 @Override
  protected void onDestroy() {

super.onDestroy();

textCrawler.cancel();

  
}

AndroidModularSample

A sample Android application to demonstrate how to build screens as fully independent modules.

It relies on a Finite State Machine (EasyFlow), to handle screens as states and trigger/consume events. Events allow the application to handle navigation between screens. The global context of the FSM is used to pass arguments as a Bundle. It also shows how to use dependency injection (via Dagger 2 for example) in modules.

This way:

modules are fully independent
modules declare the dependencies they need
modules declare the states they correspond to
modules declare the events that can be triggered
the hosting application sets up the states it uses (i.e., "screens")
the hosting application sets up how to navigation between states (with events)
the hosting application sets up the dependency injection mechanism
