Upload to maven central?

[ened]

Are you planning to upload this neat library to Maven Central? It would certainly make it more accessible for new developers to include the project with a one-liner in their gradle config. :)

I have never done this before. Any suggestions or tutorials that you recommend for how to do this?

I second the motion, and hope I can give a bit of help.
First things first, you would need to refactor out the bits specific to DocumentView into their own project and repository.
Secondly, there are instructions over here on how to upload the artifact to Bintray, which isn't Maven Central, but will likely be far easier to manage.
I'm very interested in using DocumentView, would be happy to help if there's something I can do.

@DjBushido What about test cases? Can they be kept along with the package?

[bspeice]

@bluejamesbond Depends. The android test cases would have to reside alongside the Android project of course, but the DocumentView-specific tests can (and should) be moved to the new project. Publishing will release only the actual source code, and will not put the testing code in production.

@DjBushido Oh I see! And what about the gradle stuff?

[bspeice]

@bluejamesbond Not sure what you mean. Gradle will still manage building the project, and will also handle releasing the artifact as a Maven dependency into Bintray/JCenter (though I expect you'll need a plugin like this). You'll need a separate build.gradle for the DocumentView itself, but the idea is to factor out the standalone bits so everyone can re-use it.

@DjBushido Thanks

[mathew-kurian]

Done.

compile 'com.github.bluejamesbond:textjustify-android:2.0.1'

Awesome, thanks for this! So excited to start using it.
