Kite

Android Resource Wrapper Library.

TLDR

Fed up with typing ContextCompact, resources and context all over your apps to access your resources? Say no more.

implementation 'com.cioccarellia:kite:1.0.0'
  • :kite: Access all app resources with one unified syntax.
  • :dna: Null safe layer between the Android framework java code and your app.
  • :ice_cube: Transparent and lightweight wrapper.
  • :lock: Extensive built-in checks.
  • :zap: Easy to implement in existing apps.
  • :heart: Kotlin powered, 100%.

Usage

Initialize the kite global object (ideally inside your Application class) and pass to it the application context.

class App : Application() {

    companion object {
        lateinit var appContext: Context
        val kite by lazy { Kite.fly(appContext) }
    }

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        appContext = this
    }
}

You're all set. Simply import the kite object, select what you want to use and access it with the bracket notation [].

// Kite
fab.rippleColor =         kite.color[R.color.md_light_lime]
fab.backgroundTintList =  kite.colorStateList[R.color.md_lime]
fab.text =                kite.string[R.string.ride]

// Standard
fab.rippleColor =         ContextCompact.getColor(appContext, R.color.md_light_lime)
fab.backgroundTintList =  ColorStateList.valueOf(R.color.md_lime)
fab.text =                appContext.getString(R.string.ride)
