Lazybones
???? A lazy and fluent syntactic sugar for Android and ViewModel Lifecycle properties.
Lazybones allows you to track and observe Activity, Fragment, and ViewModel lifecycles on lifecycle-aware properties.
Ah... I'm a super lazy person.
I just want to declare initialization and disposition together.
Including in your project
Gradle
Add the codes below to your root build.gradle file (not your module build.gradle file).
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}Next, add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file.
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:lazybones:1.0.4"
}SNAPSHOT
Snapshots of the current development version of Lazybones are available, which track the latest versions.
repositories {
maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/' }
}Usage
Lazybones provides lifecycleAware extension functions over the LifecycleOwner, which allows you to track and observe lifecycle changes on the same changing scope. Therefore, Lazybones can prevent function fragmentation as the lifecycle changes.
lifecycleAware
You can initialize a lifecycle-aware object with the lifecycleAware extension. The lifecycleAware can be used to register/unregister listeners, initailize/clear, show/dismiss, and dispose objects following the lifecycle changes of the lifecycleOwner. With the by keyword and lazy() methhod, you can initialize an object lazily as the following example:
val myDialog: Dialog by lifecycleAware { getDarkThemeDialog(baseContext) }
.onCreate { this.show() } // show the dialog when the lifecycle's state is onCreate.
.onDestroy { this.dismiss() } // dismiss the dialog when the lifecycle's state is onDestroy.
.lazy() // initlize the dialog lazily.In the onCreate and onDestroy lambda scope, you can omit the this keyword. As you can see the following example, the MediaPlayer will be initialized and the start() will be executed on the onCreate state of the lifecycle. The pause(), stop(), and release() methods will be executed along the next lifecycle state.
private val mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer by lifecycleAware {
MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.bgm3)
}.onCreate {
isLooping = true
start()
}.onStop {
pause()
}.onResume {
start()
}.onDestroy {
stop()
release()
}.lazy() // initialize the instance lazily.The code above works the same as the following codes:
private val mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer by lazy { MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.bgm3) }
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
mediaPlayer.isLooping = true
mediaPlayer.start()
}
override fun onPause() {
super.onPause()
mediaPlayer.pause()
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
mediaPlayer.pause()
}
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
mediaPlayer.start()
}
override fun onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy()
mediaPlayer.stop()
mediaPlayer.release()
}CompositeDisposable in RxJava2
You can utilize Lazybones with RxJava as the following example:
val compositeDisposable by lifecycleAware { CompositeDisposable() }
.onDestroy { dispose() } // call the dispose() method when onDestroy this activity.
.lazy() // initialize a CompositeDisposable lazily.As the above example, you can initialize and dispose of CompositeDisposable on the same method chain of the lifecycleAware extension.
LifecycleAware Extensions
We can execute lambda functions following lifecycle changes and here are lifecycle relevant methods for the lifecycleAware extension.
.onCreate { } // the lambda will be invoked when onCreate.
.onStart { } // the lambda will be invoked when onStart.
.onResume { } // the lambda will be invoked when onResume.
.onPause { } // the lambda will be invoked when onPause.
.onStop { } // the lambda will be invoked when onStop.
.onDestroy { } // the lambda will be invoked when onDestroy.
.on(On.Create) { } // we can set the lifecycle state manually as an attribute.LifecycleAware in Normal Classes
The lifecycleAware is an extension of the lifecycleOwner, so you can use it on a LifecycleOwner instance as the following:
class SomeClass(lifecycleOwner: LifecycleOwner) {
private val compositeDisposable by lifecycleOwner.lifecycleAware { CompositeDisposable() }
.onDestroy { it.dispose() }
.lazy()
...LifecycleAwareProperty
You can also initialize the lifecycleAware property immediately with the following example:
private val lifecycleAwareProperty = lifecycleAware(CompositeDisposable())
// observe lifecycle's state and call the dispose() method when onDestroy
.observeOnDestroy { dispose() }The CompositeDisposable will be initialized immediately, and it will be disposed of on the observeOnDestroy scope. Also, you can access the value of the property via the value field.
lifecycleAwareProperty.value.add(disposable)
lifecycleAwareProperty.value.dispose()You can observe the lifecycle changes with observe_ methods.
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private val lifecycleAwareProperty = lifecycleAware(DialogUtil.getDarkTheme())
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(binding.root)
lifecycleAwareProperty
.observeOnCreate { show() }
.observeOnDestroy { dismiss() }
.observeOnAny { .. }
.observeOn(On.CREATE) { .. }You can initialize them with the Kotlin DSL way as the following:
private val lifecycleAwareProperty = lifecycleAware(getDarkThemeDialog())
.observe {
onCreate { show() }
onResume { restart() }
onDestroy { dismiss() }
}
LifecycleAware for normal classes
The lifecycleAware is an extension of the lifecycleOwner, so you can use it on the LifecycleOwner instance as the following:
class SomeClass(lifecycleOwner: LifecycleOwner) {
private val TAG = MainViewModel::class.java.simpleName
private val lifecycleAwareProperty = lifecycleOwner.lifecycleAware(Rabbit())
init {
this.lifecycleAwareProperty
.observeOnCreate { Log.d(TAG, "OnCreate: $this") }
.observeOnStart { Log.d(TAG, "OnStart: $this") }
.observeOnResume { Log.d(TAG, "OnResume: $this") }
.observeOnPause { Log.d(TAG, "OnPause: $this") }
.observeOnStop { Log.d(TAG, "OnStop: $this") }
.observeOnDestroy { Log.d(TAG, "OnDestroy: $this") }
.observeOnAny { }
.observeOn(On.CREATE) { }
}
...Lazybones for ViewModel
Lazybones supports lifecycleAware for Jetpack ViewModel to track and observe the lifecycle changes of the ViewModel. Basically Lazybones-ViewModel allows you to observe two lifecycle changes: Initialize and Clear.
Gradle
Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:lazybones-viewmodel:1.0.4"
}LifecycleAware on ViewModel
You can use the lifecycleAwrare extension function on your ViewModel and observe lifecycle changes as the following example:
class MyViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val lifecycleAwareCompositeDisposable = lifecycleAware { CompositeDisposable() }
.onInitialize {
Log.d(TAG, "ViewModel is initialized")
}.onClear {
Log.d(TAG, "ViewModel is cleared")
dispose() // dispose CompositeDisposable when viewModel is getting cleared
}
}You can get the value of the lifecycleAware with value() method as the following:
val compositeDisposable = lifecycleAwareCompositeDisposable.value()
compositeDisposable.add(disposable)The example above shows you to initialize CompositeDisposable and observe the ViewModel's lifecycle changes. The CompositeDisposable will be disposed when ViewModel will be cleared such as onCleared is called.
Lazy LifecycleAware on ViewModel
You can initialize lifecycleAware lazyily with the by keyword and lazy() function as the following:
class MyViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val compositeDisposable: CompositeDisposable by lifecycleAware { CompositeDisposable() }
.onInitialize {
Log.d(TAG, "viewModel is initialized")
}.onClear {
Log.d(TAG, "viewModel is cleared")
dispose() // dispose CompositeDisposable when viewModel is getting cleared
}.lazy()
}LifecycleAwareProperty on ViewModel
You can also initialize the lifecycleAware property immediately and observe the lifecycle changes as the following example:
val lifecycleAwareDisposable = lifecycleAware(CompositeDisposable())
init {
lifecycleAwareDisposable
.observeOnInitialize { }
.observeOnClear { }
.observeOn(OnViewModel.CLEAR) { .. }
