A complete library to build Android apps with a built-in theme engine.

pranavpandey / dynamic-support

A complete library to build Android apps with a built-in theme engine.

Dynamic Support

A complete library to build apps for Android 14+ (ICS or above) devices with a built-in theme engine. It is built on top of the latest app compat library to provide best compatibility.

Since v2.0.0, it uses AndroidX so, first migrate your project to AndroidX.

Installation

It can be installed by adding the following dependency to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    // For AndroidX enabled projects.
    implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-support:2.3.0'
    // For legacy projects.
    implementation 'com.pranavpandey.android:dynamic-support:1.3.0'
}

Usage

It is a collection of activities, fragments, widgets, views and some utility functions required to build a standard Android app. It also provides some in-built use cases like an intro screen drawer activity, about screen, collapsing app bar, bottom navigation, color picker, multiple locales, runtime permissions, etc. which can be used and customised according to the need.

What do you need help with on the project?

Pranav Pandey • Mar 19 '19 • Edited

Thank you very much for your interest!

Currently, I am using it for my personal apps available on Google Play. I tried my best to developed it in a more generalised way but still it is slightly influenced by my personal requirements as I am the only developer of this library.

So, I want more developers to try it in their projects so that we can cover more use cases and make it more stable. There is no need to use the whole library, it also has various independent modules which you can copy directly into your projects. This library is fully commented and you can read the javadoc here.

I'm making an app to read from web pages (currently only Reddit, but more coming soon!) based on how many minutes you have. You can check it out here.

sleepyfran / readder

📖 Read your favorite text subreddits posts based on how much time you have

Readder 📖

Read your favorite text subreddits posts based on how much time you have.

This project is currently under development, but you can take a peek over here.

Also available as an iOS app.

Contributing

Every contribution is welcome! Just take a look at the issues to see what's on the making right now or open your own issue if you want any feature to be implemented.

Building

First you need to install all the dependencies:

npm i

After that you can either run it locally:

npm run serve

Build it:

npm run build

Or run the tests:

npm run test:unit

There are a couple of issues right now that should be easy to get into the code and, of course, if you want anything else to be implemented you can open an issue too 😋

Excellent idea

Oooh! I have a different project for once. The Python script I use to add titles to my featured images was just made into a pip package. Help make it great!

TheRenegadeCoder / image-titler

Titles are split in half by the closest space and displayed using two solid red bars with a white text overlay on the upper right portion of the image.

For example:

How to run

pip install image-titler

image_titler -t title -p ./path_to_image -o ./output
