dspec

A simple way to define and render UI specs on top of your Android UI.

Usage

Enclose the target UI with a DesignSpecFrameLayout, usually the root of your view hierarchy. Get the associated DesignSpec instance with getDesignSpec and then you can:

  • Toggle baseline grid visibility with setBaselineGridVisible(boolean).
  • Change baseline grid cell width with setBaselineGridCellSize(int).
  • Change baseline grid color with setBaselineGridColor(int).
  • Toggle keylines visibility with setKeylinesVisible(boolean).
  • Change keylines color with setKeylinesColor(int).
  • Add keylines with addKeyline(int, From).
  • Toggle spacings visibility with setSpacingsVisible(boolean).
  • Change spacings color with setSpacingsColor(int).
  • Add spacing with addSpacing(int, int, From).

You can also specify the design spec in a raw JSON resource like:

{
    "baselineGridVisible": true,
    "baselineGridCellSize": 8,
    "keylines": [
        { "offset": 16,
          "from": "LEFT" },
        { "offset": 72,
          "from": "LEFT" },
        { "offset": 16,
          "from": "RIGHT" }
    ],
    "spacings": [
        { "offset": 0,
          "size": 16,
          "from": "LEFT" },
        { "offset": 56,
          "size": 16,
          "from": "LEFT" },
        { "offset": 0,
          "size": 16,
          "from": "RIGHT" }
    ]
}
