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 submodule, 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"
}
Linked to their respective docs.
Included dependencies are only those with exposed APIs; see new dependency configurations.
Implemented external dependencies are wrapped in parentheses. All KAU submodule dependencies are implemented, with the exception ofcoreincore-ui. This means that you'll need to explicitly include each submodule you'd like to use, even if another declared submodule depends on it.

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.
