SlidingDebugMenu

SlidingDebugMenu is a helper layout for developers that allows easy access to the state of the device and its settings from anywhere in your application. Use predefined modules or implement your own to suit your development needs!

Default modules

Network module allows switching state of your wifi, mobile networks and bluetooth provided your device supports them and display their current state.

Log module controls which level of log should be output, provided you use our Log wrapper class.

Location module allows to easily retrieve current location and its parameters, access location settings and show your location in a map. This module uses GooglePlayServices, so it will not work on devices without it.

Build module provides some basic info about the installed application.

Including in your project

Currently the library is only distributed through Maven central repository.

Gradle:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'co.lemonlabs:slidingdebugmenu:0.1.0'
}

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>co.lemonlabs</groupId>
    <artifactId>slidingdebugmenu</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage

The library supports Android 2.3+ and is currently only compatible with ActionBarCompat.

To use the default settings simply add this to your Activity's onCreate()

menu = SlidingDebugMenu.attach(this)

and add lifecycle callbacks in your onStop() and onStart().

@Override
public void onStop() {
    menu.onStop();
    super.onStop();
}

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    menu.onStart();
}

Customization

To create a custom module extend MenuModule class and override getTitle() and getContent() methods. Optionally, you should override onStart() and onStop() if your module depends on the lifecycle of an Activity, like registering broadcast receivers, an EventBus, etc.

To attach a custom module to the debug drawer you can use one of:

menu = SlidingDebugMenu.attach(this)
menu.addModule(MenuModule module, boolean callOnStart)
menu.addModule(int position, MenuModule module, boolean callOnStart)

after attaching the drawer to an activity. Modules added this way will not persist after configuration changes or reinitialization of the menu.

OR

Use a static module editor before attaching it to the activity.

SlidingDebugMenu.edit()
    .add(CustomModule.class)
    .remove(BuildModule.class)
    .commit();
SlidingDebugMenu.attach(this)

Using this method will automatically reinitialize every module on reinitialization and they could be shared between multiple activities.

NOTE: Reflection is used to instantiate the modules, so currently only empty constructors are allowed. A dependency injection framework like Dagger would be useful in future releases.

See comments and examples for instructions of further customization of the menu.
