Announcement

Kaffeine

Kaffeine is a Kotlin-flavored Android library for accelerating development.

Several Words of Caution

Besides the obvious productivity advantages, if you are using this project - be prepared to shoot yourself in the foot or to blow your legs off. This is an experimental project that I am working on while I learn Kotlin and functional programming. Some of the lucrative approaches used in this project may not be best practices and I don't have any guarantees over the API. Don't be surprised if the API changes for every SNAPSHOT. If you are trending along a safe path, this project is definitely not for you. I may highlight caveats in some of the approaches if I am smart enough to figure them out. But, feel free to throw some light if you spot some dumbness (or a lot) along the lane.

Activities & Services

Example: Start an Activity

Java

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SuperPowersActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);

Kotlin

val flags = flags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
startActivity<SuperPowersActivity>(flags)

Layout Inflation

Java

LayoutInflater layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View awesomeView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_awesome_layout, null);

Kotlin

val awesomeView = inflateLayout(R.layout.my_awesome_layout)

Logs

Example: Logging

Java

String tag = this.getClass().getName();
Log.i(tag, "Howdy! Info");
Log.d(tag, "Knock knock! Debug");
Log.e(tag, "Grim, Error");
Log.wtf(tag, "Damn! WTF"); // Nope, not what you think. Refer the docs :P

Kotlin

i("Howdy! Info")
d("Knock knock! Debug")
e("Grim, Error")
wtf("Damn! WTF")

Preferences

Example: Single Preference

Java

SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
Editor editor = preferences.edit();
editor.putBoolean("KEY_WALKTHROUGH_COMPLETE", complete);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
  editor.commit();
} else {
  editor.apply();
}

Kotlin

getDefaultSharedPreferences().putBoolean("KEY_WALKTHROUGH_COMPLETE", complete)

Example: Bulk Preferences

Kotlin

getDefaultSharedPreferences()
  .bulk()
  .putBoolean("KEY_WALKTHROUGH_COMPLETE", complete)
  .putString("KEY_LAST_USED", lastUsedIso8601Date)
  .applyBulk()

Toasts

Example: Short Message

Java

Toast.makeText(this, R.string.welcome, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Kotlin

showShortToast(R.string.welcome)

Example: Custom Toast

Java

Toast toast = new Toast(this);
toast.setView(view);
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();

Kotlin

showShortToast(view)

System Services

Java

AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Kotlin

val alarmManager = context.alarmManager()
val notificationManager = context.notificationManager()

Resources

Example: Typeface from Assets

Java

AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();
Typeface sourceSansPro = Typeface.createFromAsset(assetManager, "fonts/source-sans-pro.ttf");

Kotlin

val sourceSansPro = typefaceFromAssets("fonts/source-sans-pro.ttf")
