Sofa

![MethodsCount](https://img.shields.io/badge/Methods count-core: 817 | deps: 15173-e91e63.svg)

A library for Android TV that extends the Leanback library capabilities by offering a set of more powerful features.

Features

The Leanback library is astonishing in many different aspects, and Google has done an insanely good job at easing the developer's task of creating an awesome TV app. But Leanback comes with some limitations, and at some point, those limitations are just too big to be ignored.

These are some of the features that you get by using Sofa:

  • Support for multiple rows per each category
  • Support for custom fragments and manual focus handling
  • Backwards compatible to standard implementation
  • .. the same goes for BrowseSupportFragment!

Check the video below to see Sofa in action:

How to use

Simply migrate from android.support.v17.app.BrowseFragment to com.sgottard.sofa.BrowseFragment. That's it!

The best place to start is the demo project, more specifically the DemoActivity class.


To showcase a small example of one of the core features offered by Sofa, this is all it takes to load multiple rows for each header, something that has been asked for countless times over the past year:

  1. Create a RowsFragment
  2. Create an ArrayObjectAdapter with a ListRowPresenter and fill it as you normally do
  3. Set the adapter to RowsFragment
  4. Create another ArrayObjectAdapter (no need for a Presenter)
  5. Add a new ListRow that contains the RowsFragment instance and the corresponding HeaderItem
  6. Set the adapter to BrowseFragment

Pretty simple, uh? All the classes should be familiar to anyone that has used Leanback before, and so should be the use of those components.


I started populating the project's Wiki, in order to better explain what differences stand between the BrowseFragment component offered by Sofa and its original counterpart, and how to make the best out of Sofa.

Download

Download the latest JAR

or grab via Gradle

dependencies {

  compile 'com.github.dextorer:sofa:1.0.0' 
}
 

Dependencies

Sofa depends on Leanback to work! Be sure to add the latest Leanback library version to your Gradle build file:

compile 'com.android.support:leanback-v17:22.2.0' 

Caveats

Sofa is built using part of Leanback's source code, mainly the BrowseFragment and BrowseSupportFragment classes. The direct dependencies for those classes had to be imported as well, but are mostly untouched. Every other class is still part of Leanback.
