Integration

Initialization

Only one line of code to integrate the framework.

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    SkinCompatManager.withoutActivity(this)                         // Basic Widget support
            .addInflater(new SkinMaterialViewInflater())            // material design support           [selectable]
            .addInflater(new SkinConstraintViewInflater())          // ConstraintLayout support          [selectable]
            .addInflater(new SkinCardViewInflater())                // CardView v7 support               [selectable]
            .setSkinStatusBarColorEnable(false)                     // Disable statusBarColor skin support，default true   [selectable]
            .setSkinWindowBackgroundEnable(false)                   // Disable windowBackground skin support，default true [selectable]
            .loadSkin();
}

Load Skin

// Load the specified skin
SkinCompatManager.getInstance().loadSkin("new.skin"[, SkinLoaderListener], int strategy);

// restore default skin
SkinCompatManager.getInstance().restoreDefaultTheme();

Custom View skin support

1. Implement the SkinCompatSupportable interface

2. Apply skin resource in the applySkin method

3. Resolve the skin resource id in the constructor

• Custom View can inherit directly from existing widget, such as SkinCompatView, SkinCompatLinearLayout, etc.

  eg: CustomTextView

• if you don't want to inherit from existing widget.

  eg: CustomTextView2

• If you need to skin the custom attributes.

  // such as AutoCompleteTextView's R.attr.popupBackground attribute

  eg: SkinCompatAutoCompleteTextView

• If you need to use third-party library.

  // need to use https://github.com/hdodenhof/CircleImageView widget

  eg: SkinCompatCircleImageView

Make a skin

BuildIn Skin:

BuildIn Skin，if the skin name is night; Add a resource that needs to be skinned with a suffix _night or prefix night_.

if the default resource is R.color.windowBackgroundColor, then you can add a resource R.color.windowBackgroundColor_night。

load buildIn skin:

SkinCompatManager.getInstance().loadSkin("night", SkinCompatManager.SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_BUILD_IN); // load by suffix
SkinCompatManager.getInstance().loadSkin("night", SkinCompatManager.SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_PREFIX_BUILD_IN); // load by prefix

Plug-in Skin:

New Android Application Project

Put the skin resources into the res directory

If the original window background is

colors.xml

<color name="background">#ffffff</color>

for night-mode you can add this in the skin-night project

colors.xml

<color name="background">#000000</color>

Generated apk is the skin package

You can rename night.apk to night.skin by yourself.

Load plug-in skin package

You can put the skin package into the assets/skins directory.

SkinCompatManager.getInstance().loadSkin("night.skin", SkinCompatManager.SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_ASSETS);

Or you can customize the loading strategy:

For example:

Inherit from SkinSDCardLoader，Override the getSkinPath、getType methods。

public class CustomSDCardLoader extends SkinSDCardLoader {
    public static final int SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_SDCARD = Integer.MAX_VALUE;

    @Override
    protected String getSkinPath(Context context, String skinName) {
        return new File(SkinFileUtils.getSkinDir(context), skinName).getAbsolutePath();
    }

    @Override
    public int getType() {
        return SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_SDCARD;
    }
}

Register this strategy in Application's onCreate

SkinCompatManager.withoutActivity(this).addStrategy(new CustomSDCardLoader());

Use this strategy to load skin:

SkinCompatManager.getInstance().loadSkin("night.skin", null, CustomSDCardLoader.SKIN_LOADER_STRATEGY_SDCARD);
