Maybe simplify this a bit?

Closed this issue · 3 comments

There was a request for a jar file to download earlier. The solution for that issue is frankly unsatisfactory. I think making this code open source is fantastic. Except that to use it in one's Android application, one must:

  1. Get and learn how to use gradle.
  2. Solve the bugs related to compiling this using gradle (I didn't btw, took too much effort).
  3. Strip out all your styles associated with this widget.
  4. Finally compile it into a jar.
  5. Wonder where the last 2 days of time went.

Again, this is a sorely needed widget and I'm grateful that you've taken the time to convert ListView source over to a horizontal one. But as it is now, this is completely unusable in my opinion. I hope this spurs you to make what I'm sure would be a few minor changes to make this useful to the wide range of folks who are coming across it and (undoubtedly not using it).

Thanks,
Matt

Your statements are correct, but remember also that the good thing about open source is that if something is missing or not correct you can always take the code and apply the modifications you need.

Secondly, today Google announced the ListView2 to be available in the supportlib, so fortunately this library will be obsolete.

Do you have a link to that announcement? Thanks.
