Extracts the views from an XML and writes the Java code for further functionality

===== Android-Helper-Tools

Useful tools for mundane chores coding in Android. Terribly written in Python (no shame - this is what I use python for)

===== View Finder Code (findViewById) Generator given XML

python android_extract_views.py [relative or absolute path to project directory]
i.e. python android_extract_views.py Story-Quilt/

Outputs a .java file in the directory the python script is located in, containing the code you would normally use in android.

===== Duplicate View IDs finder

python dup_ids_filter.py [relative or absolute path to res directory]
i.e. python dup_ids_filter.py res/

Prints duplicate IDs found with path to file.

===== Hardcoded XML views converter to Styles

python XMLtoStyle.py [relative or absolute path to XML tag containing file]
i.e. python XMLtoStyle.py input.xml

Creates styles from hard-coded XMLs.

i.e.

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/divider"
            android:background="@color/divider"/>

to

        <style name="" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView">
        	<item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
        	<item name="android:layout_height">@dimen/divider</item>
        	<item name="android:background">@color/divider</item>
        </style>

It will output the style generated in output.xml of same directory as script.
