AndroidPreferencesDsl
Overview
Tired of writing Android preferences xml files?
Than you're in luck. With this very small library you can create preference screens purely in code with help of Kotlin DSL.
Example
Creating a preference screen is pretty easy.
First you'll need to initialize DSL in your PreferenceFragmentCompat:
override fun onCreatePreferences(savedInstanceState: Bundle?, rootKey: String?) {
buildPreferenceScreen(rootKey) {
...
}
}Now you can start adding actual preferences:
buildPreferenceScreen(rootKey) {
category {
title = "Category #1"
preference {
title = "Regular preference title"
summary = "Regular preference summary"
setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info)
}
}
}This library contains mappings for all AndroidX preferences. So to add CheckBoxPreference just add few lines of code:
category {
...
checkBox {
title = "CheckBox title"
summary = "CheckBox summary"
setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_compass)
onChange { summary = "CheckBox changed to $it" }
}
}This will be the result:
You can add support for your custom AwesomePreference class by writing just one extension function:
inline fun <T : PreferenceGroup> Dsl<T>.awesome(
key: String = "",
block: @PreferenceDslMarker AwesomePreference.() -> Unit
) = chainFinal(AwesomePreference(it.context), key, block)And than AwesomePreference can be used within DSL block:
category {
...
awesome {
title = "Awesome!!!"
}
}How to add dependencies?
To use this library in your project just add following lines:
Step 1
Add JitPack repository in your root build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}Step 2
Add actual library and compiler dependencies:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.MatrixDev:AndroidPreferencesDsl:1.0.1'
