IntentBuilder
Type safe intent building for services and activities.
IntentBuilder is a type safe way of creating intents and populating them with extras. Intents were created to be very dynamic but often times the dynamic nature of intents is not needed and just gets in the way of writing safe code.
Installation
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'
dependencies {
compile 'se.emilsjolander:intentbuilder-api:0.14.0'
apt 'se.emilsjolander:intentbuilder-compiler:0.14.0'
}
Usage
Annotate your activities and services with an @IntentBuilder
annotation so that they are picked up by the library. For every class with an @IntentBuilder
annotation a class named MyActivityIntentBuilder
will be generated (Replace 'MyActivity' in the class name whith whatever the name of your Activity or Service class is). If your activity or service takes in parameters via extras in the intent you can now mark field with the @Extra
annotation and they can be injected with the static inject
method on the generated intent builder class. Extras can be marked as optional with the @Nullable
annotation.
Sample activity using IntentBuilder:
@IntentBuilder
class DetailActivity extends Activity {
@Extra
String id;
@Extra @Nullable
String title;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
DetailActivityIntentBuilder.inject(getIntent(), this);
// TODO use id and title
}
startActivity(new DetailActivityIntentBuilder("12345")
.title("MyTitle")
.build(context))
}
Sample service using IntentBuilder:
@IntentBuilder
class DownloadService extends IntentService {
@Extra
String downloadUrl;
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
MyServiceIntentBuilder.inject(intent, this);
}
}
startService(new DownloadServiceIntentBuilder("http://google.com").build(context))
