Cicerone (a guide who gives information about antiquities and places of interest to sightseers) is a lightweight library that makes the navigation in an Android app easy.
It was designed to be used with the MVP/MVVM/MVI patterns but will work great with any architecture.
- Is not tied to Fragments
- Not a framework (very lightweight)
- Short navigation calls (no builders)
- Static typed checks for screen parameters!
- Lifecycle-safe!
- Functionality is simple to extend
- Suitable for Unit Testing
- Opening several screens inside single call (for example: deeplink)
- Provides
FragmentFactoryif it needed addorreplacestrategy for opening next screen (seerouter.navigateTolast parameter)- Implementation of parallel navigation (Instagram like)
- Predefined navigator ready for Single-Activity apps
- Predefined navigator ready for setup transition animation
Add the dependency in your build.gradle:
dependencies {
//Cicerone
implementation("com.github.terrakok:cicerone:X.X.X")
}Initialize the library (for example in your Application class):
class App : Application() {
private val cicerone = Cicerone.create()
val router get() = cicerone.router
val navigatorHolder get() = cicerone.getNavigatorHolder()
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
INSTANCE = this
}
companion object {
internal lateinit var INSTANCE: App
private set
}
}
The Presenter calls the navigation method of Router.
class SamplePresenter(
private val router: Router
) : Presenter<SampleView>() {
fun onOpenNewScreen() {
router.navigateTo(SomeScreen())
}
fun onBackPressed() {
router.exit()
}
}Router converts the navigation call to the set of commands and sends them to CommandBuffer.
CommandBuffer checks whether there are the _"active"_ Navigator:
- If yes, it passes the commands to the Navigator.
Navigatorwill process them to achive the desired transition. - If no, then
CommandBuffersaves the commands in a queue, and will apply them as soon as a new_"active"_ Navigatorwill appear.
fun executeCommands(commands: Array<out Command>) {
navigator?.applyCommands(commands) ?: pendingCommands.add(commands)
}Navigator processes the navigation commands. Usually it is an anonymous class inside Activity.
Activity provides Navigator to the CommandBuffer in _onResume_ and removes it in _onPause_.
Attention: Use _onResumeFragments()_ with FragmentActivity (more info)
private val navigator = AppNavigator(this, R.id.container)
override fun onResumeFragments() {
super.onResumeFragments()
navigatorHolder.setNavigator(navigator)
}
override fun onPause() {
navigatorHolder.removeNavigator()
super.onPause()
}These commands will fulfill the needs of the most applications. But if you need something special - just add it!
- Forward - Opens new screen
- Back - Rolls back the last transition
- BackTo - Rolls back to the needed screen in the screens chain
- Replace - Replaces the current screen
The library provides predefined navigator for Fragments and Activity. To use, just provide it with the container and FragmentManager.
private val navigator = AppNavigator(this, R.id.container)A custom navigator can be useful sometimes:
private val navigator = object : AppNavigator(this, R.id.container) {
override fun setupFragmentTransaction(
screen: FragmentScreen,
fragmentTransaction: FragmentTransaction,
currentFragment: Fragment?,
nextFragment: Fragment
) {
//setup your animation
}
override fun applyCommands(commands: Array<out Command>) {
hideKeyboard()
super.applyCommands(commands)
}
}Describe your screens as you like e.g. create a Kotlin object with all application screens:
object Screens {
fun Main() = FragmentScreen { MainFragment() }
fun AddressSearch() = FragmentScreen { AddressSearchFragment() }
fun Profile(userId: Long) = FragmentScreen("Profile_$userId") { ProfileFragment(userId) }
fun Browser(url: String) = ActivityScreen { Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)) }
}Additional you can use FragmentFactory for creating your screens:
fun SomeScreen() = FragmentScreen { factory: FragmentFactory -> ... }//you have to specify screen parameters via new FragmentScreen creation
fun SelectPhoto(resultKey: String) = FragmentScreen {
SelectPhotoFragment.getNewInstance(resultKey)
}//listen result
fun onSelectPhotoClicked() {
router.setResultListener(RESULT_KEY) { data ->
view.showPhoto(data as Bitmap)
}
router.navigateTo(SelectPhoto(RESULT_KEY))
}
//send result
fun onPhotoClick(photo: Bitmap) {
router.sendResult(resultKey, photoRes)
router.exit()
}To see how to add, initialize and use the library and predefined navigators see the sample project
(thank you @Javernaut for support new library version and migrate sample project to Kotlin!)
