1. Android KTX Tips to strip your Kotlin codebase! Organized by Ahmedabad Pranay Patel Android @ Simform Solutions #KotlinEverywhere
2. Motivation What heuristic do you use to know that you write maintainable code? In other words ... how do you know that the code you write is maintainable? ~ Donn Felker
3. Motivation For me, its tests and asking myself the simple question of: "If I come back to this code in 6 months, will I understand it in 30 seconds or less and will I feel confident to make a change?" ~ Donn Felker
4. What we are going to learn... 0. What is android-ktx 1. Why it is useful? 2. Add Android KTX in your project 3. Explore Android KTX apis 4. Try to build your own KTX 5. “SAMAPAN” - wrap up!
5. There is no magic!
6. What is android-ktx
7. • It’s a collection of Kotlin extension functions that will beautify and give a Kotlin-ish touch to existing Android APIs
8. Why it is useful?
9. • Specifically design for Android apis • Kotlin language feature • Writing a dot after any object! • Avoid code duplication.
10. Enough Talk , Show Us The Code!
11. Add Android KTX in your project
12. repositories { google() } dependencies { // Core KTX implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.1.1' }
13. • androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx:$version • androidx.palette:palette-ktx:$version • androidx.sqlite:sqlite-ktx:$version • androidx.collection:collection-ktx:$version • androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:$version • androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-reactivestreams-ktx:$version • androidx.navigation:navigation-runtime-ktx:$version • androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment-ktx:$version • androidx.navigation:navigation-ui-ktx:$version • androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:$version • com.google.android.play:core-ktx:$version Pick the one that you want!
14. Explore Android KTX apis
15. Layout Binding // Activity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) } } // Fragment class MainFragment:Fragment() { override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? { return layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_fragment_layout, container, false) } }
16. Layout Binding using KTX // Activity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(R.layout.activity_main) // Fragment class MainFragment : Fragment(R.layout.my_fragment_layout)
17. val newFragment = ExampleFragment() val transaction = supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction() transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment) transaction.addToBackStack(null) transaction.commitAllowingStateLoss() Fragment Transaction
18. val newFragment = ExampleFragment() supportFragmentManager.transaction(now = false, allowStateLoss = true) { replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment, ExampleFragment.TAG) } val newFragment = ExampleFragment() val transaction = supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction() transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment) transaction.addToBackStack(null) transaction.commitAllowingStateLoss() Fragment Transaction using KTX
19. // androidx.fragment:fragment-ktx FragmentManager.transaction(now: Boolean = false, allowStateLoss: Boolean = false, body: FragmentTransaction.() -> Unit) Fragment Transaction KTX Code
20. db.beginTransaction() try { ... db.setTransactionSuccessful() } finally { db.endTransaction() } Database Transaction
21. db.transaction { // insert, update, delete } db.beginTransaction() try { ... db.setTransactionSuccessful() } finally { db.endTransaction() } Database Transaction using KTX
22. HtmlCompat.fromHtml("<b>HTML</b>", HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY) HtmlCompat.toHtml(SpannableString.valueOf("TEST VALUE"), HtmlCompat.TO_HTML_PARAGRAPH_LINES_CONSECUTIVE) Html parsing
23. Html parsing using KTX HtmlCompat.fromHtml("<b>HTML</b>", HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY) HtmlCompat.toHtml(SpannableString.valueOf("TEST VALUE"), HtmlCompat.TO_HTML_PARAGRAPH_LINES_CONSECUTIVE) "<b>HTML</b>".parseAsHtml() SpannableString.valueOf("TEST VALUE").toHtml() // androidx.core:core-ktx
24. inline fun String.parseAsHtml( flags: Int = FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY, imageGetter: ImageGetter? = null, tagHandler: TagHandler? = null ): Spanned = HtmlCompat.fromHtml(this, flags, imageGetter, tagHandler) inline fun Spanned.toHtml( option: Int = TO_HTML_PARAGRAPH_LINES_CONSECUTIVE ): String = HtmlCompat.toHtml(this, option) Html parsing KTX code
25. fun getBitmapFromDrawable(context: Context, userDrawable: Drawable): Bitmap { val bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap( userDrawable.intrinsicWidth, userDrawable.intrinsicHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888 ) val canvas = Canvas(bitmap) userDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight()) userDrawable.draw(canvas) return bitmap } Get Bitmap from Drawable
26. // androidx.core:core-ktx val drawableUser = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.ic_launcher_background)?:return val bitmap = drawableUser.toBitmap() Get Bitmap using KTX
27. drawableUser.setBounds( drawableUser.bounds.left, 26, drawableUser.bounds.right, drawableUser.bounds.bottom) Set Drawable bound
28. drawableUser.setBounds( drawableUser.bounds.left, 26, drawableUser.bounds.right, drawableUser.bounds.bottom) drawableUser.updateBounds(top = 26) Set Drawable bound using KTX
29. val spanValue = SpannableString("Hello Ahmedabad!") spanValue.setSpan( ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),6,16, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE) spanValue.setSpan(StyleSpan(BOLD),6,16, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE) Hello Ahmedabad! Hello Ahmedabad! Get Spannable string
30. val spanValue = SpannableString("Hello Ahmedabad!") spanValue.setSpan( ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),6,16, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE) spanValue.setSpan(StyleSpan(BOLD),6,16, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE) Hello Ahmedabad! Hello Ahmedabad! val spanValue = "Hello Ahmedabad!".toSpannable() spanValue[6..16] = StyleSpan(BOLD) spanValue[6..16] = ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED) Get Spannable string using KTX
31. // val spanValue = SpannableString("Hello Ahmedabad!") // spanValue[6..16] inline operator fun Spannable.set(range: IntRange, span: Any) { setSpan(span, range.start, range.endInclusive, SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE) } Spannable KTX code

38. class ProfileViewModel : ViewModel() { fun fetchData() { viewModelScope.launch { getUserDataFromAPI() } } private suspend fun getUserDataFromAPI(){ // call api } } View Model using KTX
39. public fun CoroutineScope.launch( context: CoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext, start: CoroutineStart = CoroutineStart.DEFAULT, block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> Unit ): Job { val newContext = newCoroutineContext(context) val coroutine = if (start.isLazy) LazyStandaloneCoroutine(newContext, block) else StandaloneCoroutine(newContext, active = true) coroutine.start(start, coroutine, block) return coroutine } View Model launch KTX code
40. val uriString = "https://kotlinlang.org/foo?bar#bla" val uri = uriString.toUri() // Uri object from String val fileFromUri = uri.toFile() // File object from Uri object val uriFromFile = fileFromUri.toUri() // Uri object from File object Uri using KTX
