Velcro
Bootstrap for your Android Projects.
Get your Android applications off the ground and running quickly with this template. This bootstrap should contain everything you need to get going but not so much you have to spend time stripping things out. If you find your self deleting something frequently then it should probably be removed. This application is highly based off of Jake Wharton's u2020 and has a debug drawer ready and waiting for more awesomeness.
Getting started
Requirements: Lazybones 0.7+
Install lazybones using gvm, jenv or from lazybones bintray
Edit/create ~/.lazybones/config.groovy
and add the following.
bintrayRepositories = [
"pieces/lazybones-templates",
"pledbrook/lazybones-templates"
]
Run lazybones list
to see all the available templates. Run lazybones create <template name> <template version> <target directory>
to create a new Velcro project for example run lazybones create velcro my-awesome-application
.
Libraries Included
Before diving in and using this project I suggest you check out and understand these libraries. Most of them will do work for you automatically when you use the BaseActivity or BaseFragment.
- Dagger Dependency Injection
- Butter Knife View Injection
- Icepick Save and Restore State
- Android Preferences Better Shared Preferences
- Timber Better Android Logger
- Madge Asset Debugging

Contributing
A gradle script has been setup so that all you need to do to add your own code to Velcro is to open up the velcro-app and work on it like you would any other Android project. Assuming you keep the same package and application name (Velcro) you should be able to run gradlew cleanLazybones copyToLazybones
. This will copy the files over into their correct location in the archetype project and replace strings with lazybones variables where required. Then run gradlew installTemplateVelcro
to install it to your local lazybones store to try out your changes. This will run an integration test before it publishes so it should in theory work. Note, you will need lazybones installed for the integration test to run.
