The Android FrameWork is a framework to speed up the android development, providing simple APIs to build applications that interacts with RESTful api services.
You can include this framework as library in your project, or you can start from the boilerplate I've created for intelliJ and gradle environment by cloning the boilerplate repo.
$ git clone git@github.com:ascariandrea/moai-boilerplate.git my-new-project
and follow the instruction in the boilerplate README file.
To be documented.
There are three principal classes of fragments:
- InjectedFragment
- InjectedResourceFragment
- InjectedListFragment
This class provide methods to run your logic in specific fragment life cycle points.
Such as onViewsInjected() that permits to run code right after views injection by android annotations.
This class is more complete than the above one. You can attach a resource to the fragment and avoid a full manual setup to fetch the resource from the API server, you can simply declare your fragment as:
public class ActivitiesFragment extends InjectedResourceFragments<Activity> {
}Assuming that your Activity class is a subclass of Moai Model class.
As the InjectedResourceFragment permits to deal with your single resource through your api service, this fragment do the same with resources collections.
The Model & ModelCollection are classes that made simple json deserialization and serialization and passing well formed payload to your backend.
@JsonRootValue("activity")
public Activity extends Model {
@JsonProperty("id")
public int id;
@JsonProperty("text")
public String text;
}You can map your json payload properties to class property and don't care about anything else.
The ModelCollection is committed to handle json collection and porting them to List<Model> and vice versa.
Any help in project development and documentation improvement will be appreciated.
