LibUI Framework

This is an Android View backend for libui-ng. It enables you to write basic Android UIs entirely in C or any other language that libui has bindings for.

This library is entirely compatible with libui-ng, but some extra controls and features are added, such as uiScroll.

Short term goals

• Perfect compatibility with libui
• Write a minimal PoC app in C
• Write basic apps in dozens of different languages
• Make it easier to drop this library in existing projects

Use cases

• Use LibUI Lua bindings and allow in-app plugins to manipulate the UI
• Very limited and lightweight alternative to Qt (or React Native)
• Drop libuifw in existing projects to help speed up development

How to use

• Copy the files into your project
• Submodule?
• Symlink these files into your project

Roadmap

• Complete most basic controls
• Click events
• uiTab (swipable on AndroidX, or tab bar)
• Access strings.xml text from string ID (uiGet)
• UI call queue support (uiQueue)
• uiScroll (extension, WIP upstream)
• uiImage
• Set control text, visibility, hidden, destroy
• Tables
• ratio, combo box, sliders
• File dialog

Planned

• iOS uikit support
