generator-android-template

Create a new app from scratch and add components to it

Version : 1.0.1

This project was created in order to generate the different classes used by my other library (https://github.com/joxad/easydatabinding) using yeoman generator :

In order to make databinding working, we need to create

• a xml layout with ...
• a activity/fragment class
• a vm associated to this activity/fragment

The generator is here to help developers do it faster :)

Installation

1. First, install Yeoman and generator-android-template using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-android-template

Then generate your new project:

You will have to call the command line below IN THE ROOT of your project.

2. In your android project

project build.gradle :

repositories {
       maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/joxad/maven" }    
   }

app build.gradle :

compile com.joxad.easydatabinding:lib:1.1.0

How does it work

You will be ask a few questions in order to generate the needed classes :

• applicationId => in order to know where to place the generated code
• packageName => the package where you want to put the activity/fragment java classes
• layout name => it will generate the xml & activity/fragment & activityVM/fragmentVM

Generate an activity

yo android-template:activity

This will generate :

• Activity
• Activity layout
• Activity VM that will have your binding activity

Generate an activity with recycler (v1)

yo android-template:activity-recycler

This will generate an activity with a recycler view using https://github.com/evant/binding-collection-adapter v1

• Activity
• Activity layout
• Activity VM that will have your binding activity
• BaseVM that will handle each item model of your recycler
• Item Layout for your recycler

In your build.gradle add :

compile 'me.tatarka.bindingcollectionadapter:bindingcollectionadapter:1.0.3'
compile 'me.tatarka.bindingcollectionadapter:bindingcollectionadapter-recyclerview:1.0.3'

Generate an activity with recycler view (v2)

yo android-template:activity-recycler-v2

This will generate an activity with a recycler view using https://github.com/evant/binding-collection-adapter v2

• Activity
• Activity layout
• Activity VM that will have your binding activity
• BaseVM that will handle each item model of your recycler
• Item Layout for your recycler

Generate an activity with bottom bar navigation

yo android-template:activity-bottom-nav

This will generate an activity with a coordinator layout and a bottom view navigation

• Activity
• Activity layout
• Activity VM that will have your binding activity
• Menu xml in the resources
• Menu color selector

Generate a fragment

yo android-template:fragment

This will generate :

• Fragment
• Fragment layout
• Fragment VM that will have your binding fragment

Generate a support fragment

yo android-template:fragment-support

This will generate :

• Fragment v4
• Fragment layout
• Fragment VM that will have your binding fragment

Generate a support fragment with recycler view (v2)

yo android-template:fragment-support-recycler-v2

This will generate an fragment with a recycler view using https://github.com/evant/binding-collection-adapter v2

• Fragment
• Fragment layout
• Fragment VM that will have your binding fragment
• BaseVM that will handle each item model of your recycler
• Item Layout for your recycler

Generate a bottomsheet dialog fragment

yo android-template:bottom-fragment

This will generate :

• Bottom Sheet Dialog Fragment
• Fragment layout
• Bottom Sheet Dialog Fragment VM that will have your binding fragment

Generate an item

yo android-template:item

This will generate :

• BaseVM of your model
• Item layout associated with your vm

Thanks

Very useful lib used :

https://github.com/evant/binding-collection-adapter/

It handles the databinding inside the recyclerview => No adapter to write :)
