An extensive collection of Kotlin Android Utils
This library contains small helper functions used throughout almost all of my other projects. The goal is to make common interactions executable in a single line.
KAU is available on JitPack
To apply, add the following to your root build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } //for gradle < 4.0
google() //for gradle >= 4.0
}
}And add the following dependencies (You can use a specific version, commit, or -SNAPSHOT):
Note that only core is required if you want the basic features.
Note that if you use any particular su
8000
bmodule, it will automatically include all of its necessary dependencies.
dependencies {
//All submodules extend this
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:core:$KAU"
//All submodules with extensive ui extend this
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:core-ui:$KAU"
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:about:$KAU"
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:colorpicker:$KAU"
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:kpref-activity:$KAU"
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:mediapicker:$KAU"
compile "ca.allanwang.kau:searchview:$KAU"
}

Given that the core module contains a lot of extension functions, you may run into a dex error (over 64k methods)
To resolve that, add multiDexEnabled true under your app.gradle > android > defaultConfig
Likewise, it is highly recommended to use proguard to clean up your project upon release. All KAU components support proguard out of the box. Some may have extra requirements for certain features, which will be detailed in their respective README.
