Android plugins for Java, making core Android APIs easy to use

silly-android's Issues

Easy RecyclerView

Add a pre-configured RecyclerView Adapter. Ideas and layers:

1. DataProvider (stores data, provides data access to adapter)
2. DataItem superclass for DataProviders
3. Clickable and Long-Clickable ViewHolder, superclass
4. Adapter that uses the DataProvider and is parametrized using DataItem and ViewHolder types

Add Preconditions

Use the v4 preconditions lib

Add job scheduling

Use Evernote's lib

Allow conversion to Kotlin?

Pros: It's Kotlin.
Cons: Introduces a huge dependency that people might not want in their projects.

Add showKeyboard and hideKeyboard methods

protected void showKeyboard() {

        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (activity.getCurrentFocus() == null) {
            inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
        } else {
            View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
            inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view,InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Hide keyboard.
     */
    protected void hideKeyboard() {

        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
        if (view == null) {
            if (inputMethodManager.isAcceptingText())
                inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS, 0);
        } else {
            if (view instanceof EditText)
                ((EditText) view).setText(((EditText) view).getText().toString()); // reset edit text bug on some keyboards bug
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
        }          
    }

Managed dialogs

TL;DR We need dialog management for each fragment and activity, a mechanism to support rotation, state saving and restoring and automatic recreation.
