K4Kotlin

A sweet, small set of Kotlin functions to reduce your android boilerplate code

Dependency

Add this in your project level build.gradle file (not your module build.gradle file):

allprojects {
	repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } // add this line
    }
}

Then, add the library to your module build.gradle

dependencies {
    // K4Kotlin core extension functions
    compile 'com.github.kirtan403.k4kotlin:k4kotlin-core:1.0.0-beta1'
    
    // K4Kotlin androidx extension functions (Uses appcompat version of androidx)
    compile 'com.github.kirtan403.k4kotlin:k4kotlin-androidx:1.0.0-beta1'
    
    // K4Kotlin databinding extension functions
    compile 'com.github.kirtan403.k4kotlin:k4kotlin-databinding:1.0.0-beta1'
    
    // K4Koltin Extensions for Retrofit
    compile 'com.github.kirtan403.k4kotlin:k4kotlin-retrofit:1.0.0-beta1'
}

Upgrade Notes

Upgrading to 1.0.0-beta1

All the functions have been divided into multiple dependencies. Now all functions that can directly be called without any androidx dependencies are part of the k4kotlin-core module. All the functions that requires one or more androidx component, are moved to k4kotlin-androidx module. Databinding related functions are moved to k4kotlin-databinding package. So you can just what is required for you without adding unnecessary components to your project. The full migration guide will be published with changes when 1.0.0 hits stable.

Upgrading from < 0.3.0 to < 1.0.0

If you are upgrading from 0.1.x or 0.2.x to > 0.3.0, you might need to change the dependency in your build.gradle file.

From 0.3.0, library modules are divided into multiple specific modules. So if you will not change the dependency package, then you might unnecessary adding recurring dependencies you might not need. So

For including your basic functionality, you should change from

// from
compile 'com.github.kirtan403:K4Kotlin:0.2.x'
// to 
compile 'com.github.kirtan403.k4kotlin:k4kotlin:0.3.0'

Then, additionally you can add as many other modules you might need.
