Kite
Android Resource Wrapper Library.
TLDR
Fed up with typing ContextCompact, resources and context all over your apps to access your resources? Say no more.
implementation 'com.cioccarellia:kite:1.0.0'???? Access all app resources with one unified syntax.🧬 Null safe layer between the Android framework java code and your app.???? Transparent and lightweight wrapper.🔒 Extensive built-in checks.⚡ Easy to implement in existing apps.❤️ Kotlin powered, 100%.
Usage
Initialize the kite global object (ideally inside your Application class) and pass to it the application context.
class App : Application() {
companion object {
lateinit var appContext: Context
val kite by lazy { Kite.fly(appContext) }
}
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
appContext = this
}
}You're all set. Simply import the kite object, select what you want to use and access it with the bracket notation [].
// Kite
fab.rippleColor = kite.color[R.color.md_light_lime]
fab.backgroundTintList = kite.colorStateList[R.color.md_lime]
fab.text = kite.string[R.string.ride]
// Standard
fab.rippleColor = ContextCompact.getColor(appContext, R.color.md_light_lime)
fab.backgroundTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(R.color.md_lime)
fab.text = appContext.getString(R.string.ride)Supported Resources

🛑 Known Issues
- Annotation checks over resource parameters (functions which take as argument some annotated value, like
@ColorRes,@StringRes) are not extensively performed by Android Studio, when using kotlin operator functions: I created a bug report at google issue tracker here. Hope to see it fixed soon. - After {@link Build.VERSION_CODES#R}, {@link Resources} must be obtained by {@link android.app.Activity} or {@link android.content.Context} created with {@link android.content.Context#createWindowContext(int, Bundle)}. {@link Application#getResources()} may report wrong values in multi-window or on secondary displays.
