AndroidStudio-Base-Template

This project contains a Android Studio template to create a basic Kupferwerk Android app.

##Installation

• Clone this repository to the following directory depending on your machine:

MacOS

/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/plugins/android/lib/templates/activities/

Windows

C:/Users/<<username>>/AppData/Local/Android/android-studio/plugins/android/lib/templates/activities/

• Restart Android Studio

Usage

1. Open Android Studio and create a new android project.
2. After adding your project information and the targeted android devices you will see the options to add an activity on the next screen.
3. Choose the Option "Kupferwerk Base App Template".
4. In the next screen you could modify the template. The template generates one activity with the entered parameters. Additionally the following feature could be added:

• Square Dagger for dependency injection
• Square Picasso for imageloading
• Square Retrofit for webservice connection
• GreenRobot Eventbus
• Netflix RxJava for reactive pattern development
• HockeyApp for crash- and updatemanagement.
• Mockito for mocking
• Integration of some Kupferwerk internal libraries. These libraries are hosted in the private Kupferwerk maven repository. You should provide some credentials in this case.

5. Start the generation.

Important Notes!

This template is added as an Activity-template for Android Studio. This means that it is also possible integrating this template from New -> Activity menu again. Do not execute this template more than once on one project. Since this template will explicitly override some files (e.g. build.gradle, AndroidManifest.xml) without confirmation.

androidstudio-base-template's Issues

Set DebugingUtils.shouldDebug = BuildConfig.DEBUG

If I create the template using KW-Utils (DebugingUtils) the template should add the following code in BaseApplication:

public class BaseApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        DebugingUtils.shouldDebug = BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    }
}

Discussion: Android Native Frameworks & Tools Review

This is not an issue. I apologize for using this medium but GitHub doesn't leave much choice for communication. Please feel free to close the issue at any time

I did a small research on the current Android RAD tools and frameworks. I included your project and I felt it's only fair to inform you and all the other projects generous developers of it:

I hope that you see benefit from looking at what others are doing and such. If you have any feedback please do let me know.

I'm also trying to gauge the interest of the community in having/building something on a bigger scale. Not sure what that should be so I built an app a survey for it. I hope experienced Android devs such as yourself would take a look at. Thank you.

The Template should work with the new Material Design Lib
