Full ChangeLog

1.1.2 - current

  1. Changed the standard Android logging API to SLF4J Logging API

1.0.0 - previous

  1. The first release! Everything is new.

Features in the next versions:

TBD

Usage

IdGenerator

IdGenerator is responsible for views id generation.

To generate the view id:

View view;
// ... view initialization code goes here

view.setId(IdGenerator.next());

ColorModifier

ColorModifier contains utility methods for color modification.

To modify the color exposure:

int color = Color.DKGRAY;

// Darken the color:
int darkerColor = ColorModifier.modifyExposure(color, 0.8f);

// Lighten the color:
int lighterColor = ColorModifier.modifyExposure(color, 1.5f);

DensityConverter

DensityConverter contains utility methods for density values conversion based on the current device's display metrics.

To convert the density-independent pixels into density-dependent ones and vice versa:

float pixels = 100.0f;

// Convert to real pixels:
float realPixels = DensityConverter.dpToPx(getContext(), pixels)

// Convert to density-independent pixels:
float densityPixels = DensityConverter.pxToDp(getContext(), pixels);

Logging

To enable logging:

  1. Add the following dependency:

    dependencies {
    	compile 'com.github.tony19:logback-android-classic:1.1.1-3'
    }
  2. Create the logback.xml file in the src/main/assets with the sample configuration:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <configuration>
    	<appender name="LOGCAT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.android.LogcatAppender">
    		<tagEncoder>
    			<pattern>%logger{0}</pattern>
    		</tagEncoder>
    		<encoder>
    			<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] [%logger{0}] - %msg%n</pattern>
    		</encoder>
    	</appender>
    
    	<root level="TRACE" additivity="false">
    		<appender-ref ref="LOGCAT" />
    	</root>
    </configuration>

    You may wish to configure different appenders with different log levels for packages, classes etc.

    More information about LOGBack can be found @ LOGBack Project Site

  3. Add the following InvalidPackage ignore rule into lint.xml file (located @ the root of the project):

    <issue id="InvalidPackage" >
    	<ignore path="**/logback-android-core/*" />
    </issue>
