Creates variables for your Android views

refs

Creates variables for your Android views.

Requirements

Node.js

xmldoc:

npm install xmldoc

Usage

./refs.js viewVarName layout_file.xml

viewVarName is the name of your view variable. It will be used as:

viewVarName.findViewById(...)

layout_file.xml is the file that you want to scan for view items.
Any view item with an 'android:id' attribute will be parsed.

The variable name will be created from your view id so:

android:id="@+id/list_view"

becomes

listView

Example

If you had the following xml layout file called example.xml:

<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" 
    android:id="@+id/my_linear_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.fragment">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txt_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <RadioGroup
        android:id="@+id/radio_group"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rb_one"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rb_two"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/rb_three"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    </RadioGroup>

</LinearLayout>

You would use the command:

./refs.js v example.xml

And would get the following result:

LinearLayout myLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.my_linear_layout);
TextView txtView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.txt_view);
RadioGroup radioGroup = (RadioGroup) v.findViewById(R.id.radio_group);
RadioButton rbOne = (RadioButton) v.findViewById(R.id.rb_one);
RadioButton rbTwo = (RadioButton) v.findViewById(R.id.rb_two);
RadioButton rbThree = (RadioButton) v.findViewById(R.id.rb_three);
