> Helper classes to build Android Apps through MVP pattern in a faster way

This library exposes a minimal API, that should help you to build well architected Android Apps. ¡Check the following steps to get up and running!

Installation

Actually I don't have this library in JCenter/Maven Central, so if you want to use, follow the instructions. The library is distributed for Java and Kotlin. Looking for Kotlin variant? Go here

Gradle

  • Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
  repositories {

...
maven {

  url "https://jitpack.io"
 
}
  
}
 
}
  • Add the dependency:
dependencies {

compile 'com.github.BlackBoxVision:mvp-helpers:v0.2.0' 
}

Maven

  • Add this line to repositories section in pom.xml:
<repositories>  <repository>
  <id>jitpack.io</id>
 <url>https://jitpack.io</url>  </repository> </repositories>
  • Add the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.BlackBoxVision</groupId>
<artifactId>mvp-helpers</artifactId>  <version>v0.2.0</version> </dependency>

SBT

  • Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:
  resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
  • Add the dependency:
  libraryDependencies += "com.github.BlackBoxVision" % "mvp-helpers" % "v0.2.0" 

Core Concepts

The concepts behind this library are the following ones:

  • View → The View is an interface that contains methods related to UI interaction. Those methods should be implemented in your Activity, Fragment or View.

  • Interactor → The Interactor is the class that do the hard work, all the blocking operations like I/O, Networking, Database Intectations should be done here.

  • Presenter → The presenter acts as a middle man between the Interactor and the View.

Usage example

The usage is really simple:

1 - Create your View interface by extending the BaseView. BaseView is an empty interface that acts as water mark for the Presenter.

public interface DetailsView extends BaseView {

void onInfoReceived(@NonNull Bundle information);

void onInfoError(@NonNull String errorMessage);
 
}

2 - Create an Interactor class by extending the BaseInteractor class. The BaseInteractor provides you a set of helper methods to deal with background execution and UIThread interaction. The methods are the following ones:

  • runOnUiThread → use it when you need to post data to the main thread.
  • runOnBackground → use it when you need to make background processing.
  • runOnBackground → use it when you need to make a scheduled task.
  • cancelTask → use it when you want to cancel a scheduled task.
//This example uses Java 8 features, I assume the usage of retrolambda public final class DetailsInteractor extends BaseInteractor {

public void retrieveDetailsFromService(@NonNull final String id, @NonNull final OnSuccessListener<Bundle> successListener, @NonNull final OnErrorListener<String> errorListener) {

runOnBackground(() -> {

 //Getting data from somewhere

 final Bundle data = MockUtils.getMockedData(id);

  runOnUiThread(() -> {

  if (data != null) {

successListener.onSuccess(data);

  
}
 else {

errorListener.onError("Ups, something went wrong");

  
}

  
}
);

}
);

  
}
 
}

3 - Create a Presenter class by extending the BasePresenter class. The BasePresenter provides you with a set of helper methods to deal with View management. The methods are the following ones:

  • isViewAttached → check if you have set the view to the presenter, returns to you a boolean value that you should handle in your presenter implementation.
  • attachView → add the view to the presenter, so you can start to handle the cycle of view - presenter - interactor interaction.
  • detachView → dereference the view, setting it to null. This method should be called in the onDestroy method in case of use in Activity, and onDestroyView in case of Fragment usage.
  • getView → simple getter, to make your access to the view defined more cleaner.
  • onViewAttached → callback fired when the view is attached to the presenter, it gives you the view so you can start doing something like restoring state, instantiating the interactors.
  • onViewDetached → callback fired when the view is detached from the presenter, in this place you can dereference the objects you won't use anymore.
//I use method references from Java 8 to point the callbacks to interactor, I assume a working project with Retrolambda public final class DetailsPresenter extends BasePresenter<DetailsView> {

  private DetailsInteractor interactor;

 @Override
  protected void onViewAttached(@NonNull DetailsView view) {

interactor = new DetailsInteractor();

  
}

@Override
  protected void onViewDetached() {

interactor = null;
  
}

public void findRequiredInformation(@NonNull String id) {

if (isViewAttached()) {

 interactor.retrieveDetailsFromService(id, this::onSuccess, this::onError);

}

  
}

private void onSuccess(@NonNull Bundle information) {

if (isViewAttached()) {

 getView().onInfoReceived(information);

}

  
}

private void onError(@NonNull String errorMessage) {

if (isViewAttached()) {

 getView().onInfoError(errorMessage);

}

  
}
 
}

4 - Create a custom PresenterFactory class to provide the presenter instance. You should implement the PresenterFactory interface.

Now we have to create a Factory, because I have recently implemented a way to not loose presenter when configuration changes. The BaseActivity/BaseFragment use a Loader to provide the Presenter instance, Android Loaders can survive configuration changes, that's why I select them.

class DetailsPresenterFactory implements PresenterFactory<DetailsPresenter> {

 @Override  public DetailsPresenter create() {

return new DetailsPresenter();
  
}
 
}

5 - Attach this cycle with Android specific classes. You can choice an Activity/Fragment or also a custom view. In this case I will show you an example with Fragment that inherits from BaseFragment

The BaseFragment comes with a resumed lifecycle, and a set of methods to implement. The methods are the following ones:

  • createPresenterFactory → in this method you have to create an instance of PresenterFactory.
  • getLayout → in this method you have pass the id reference to the layout.
  • getPresenter → simple getter, to make your access to the presenter more cleaner.
  • onPresenterCreated → In this method you can start doing something with the presenter. ¡Now the View is attached automatically to the Presenter!
  • onPresenterDestroyed → In this method you can do something, like saving app state.
public final class DetailsFragment extends BaseFragment<DetailsPresenter, DetailsView> implements DetailsView {

 @Override
  protected DetailsPresenterFactory createPresenterFactory() {

  return new DetailsPresenterFactory();

  
}

 @LayoutRes
  @Override
  protected int getLayout() {

  return R.layout.fragment_details;
  
}

 @Override
  protected void onPresenterCreated(@NonNull DetailsPresenter presenter) {

//Do something when presenter it's created

getPresenter().getInformationFromId("ssdWRGD132");

  
}

 @Override
  protected void onPresenterDestroyed() {

//Do something when presenter is removed, this method is called in onDestroy 
  
}

 @Override
  void onInfoReceived(@NonNull Bundle information) {

  Toast.makeText(getContext(), information.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

  
}

 @Override
  void onInfoError(@NonNull String errorMessage) {

  Toast.makeText(getContext(), errorMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

  
}
 
}
 

Advise about ButterKnife

From version 0.2.0 of this library, I have decided to remove butterKnife, in order to not force any dev to use butterKnife.

Issues

If you found a bug, or you have an answer, or whatever. Please, open an issue. I will do the best to fix it, or help you.

Of course, if you see something that you want to upgrade from this library, or a bug that needs to be solved, PRs are welcome!

Release History

  • 0.2.0

    • CHANGE: BasePresenter has now two new callbacks, to be notified about view attachment/detachment.
    • CHANGE: BaseActivity/BaseFragment has now two new callbacks to be notified about presenter creation/destruction, also, addPresenter callback has been replace with createPresenterFactory
    • CHANGE: Added PresenterFactory interface to create custom factories to provide presenter instances
    • CHANGE: Added PresenterLoader, an Android Loader, that provides the presenter instance and survives configuration changes.
    • BUG FIX: Fixed issue with BaseInteractor runOnBackground method, this method was calling executor.isTerminated instead of calling executor.isShutdown, this produce a RuntimeException, because of troubles with ThreadPool reuse. Also, the methods have been refactored, to use a ExecutorService to get more control instead of an Executor.
  • 0.1.0

    • CHANGE: Folder refactor under UI package
    • CHANGE: Modified BasePresenter method registerView to attachView in order to get more consistence
    • CHANGE: Added new runOnBackground version in BaseInteractor that uses a ScheduledExecutorService and also cancel method to stop execution
    • CHANGE: Added Custom Views to extend BaseRelativeLayout, BaseFrameLayout and BaseLinearLayout
  • 0.0.3

    • CHANGE: Removed ButterKnife annotation processor
    • CHANGE: Rename mvphelper library to library
  • 0.0.2

    • CHANGE: Minor updates

Resources

A pretty and simple storage/directory chooser library for 4.4+ devices. This library was created to be included in OpenGApps App. There are too many storage chooser out there but this one is too materially :stuckouttongue: . Easy to implement and does not take a lot of your valueable time in setting-up all the other necessary things that every developer seeks, like

  • saving path to sharedPreference
  • event when path is selected and act upon that path
  • and much more.

A simple library to add indicators for your Carousel or ViewPagers.

Android AutocompleteTextView that receives and displays address suggestions from Smarty Streets.

A simple layout working as a switch on-off button.

The Universal Event Bus is an event dispatcher architecture which help you to use most common event bus implementation as Otto in a structured mode.

An events is a bus designed to separate different parts of the application, while still allowing them to communicate efficiently. The operation of the EventDispatcher is based on the publish-subscribe pattern: the bus asked a series of events that will be collected by those who joined them.

The publisher is, in this case, called Bus or RxBus and deals with post events using the Observable of RxJava. The event dispatcher contains two RxBuses: one dedicated to the UI thread, and the other for all the other events that have nothing to do with the UI (network calls, CRUD operations with the database etc.).

Change/add font of Entire Android Application at time with out wasting your time - TextViews, EditText, Buttons, Views, etc.
