android-templates

Templates for generating files in Android projects, based on different architectures.

Current architectures:

1. MVVM
   • you can create an entire scene (Fragment + ViewModel + XML)
   • data binding enabled and already set up
   • IMPORTANT: it's based on Android-Base-Project (https://github.com/wolfpackdigitalapps/android-base-project)

How to Install:

a) With the Makefile

1. Open the terminal and go to the folder where the makefile is.
2. Run: make install_templates

If you want to uninstall them:

1. make uninstall_templates

b) Manually

Copy the desired architecture folder (for example: MVVM Flow) to the following path: "{ANDROID_STUDIO_LOCATION}/plugins/android/lib/templates/other/" Note: For Mac users: right click on Android Studio in Applications --> Show Package Contents --> find the path from above.

How to Use:

1. Create a new package for the scene that you want to add now

2. Right click --> New --> Other --> Template Name (MVVM Flow)

3. In the new windows that appeared, set the:

• flow name (ex: Login)
• layout file name (change from the autogenerated name to lowercase: fr_Login to fr_login)
• core package name (com.wolfpackdigital.projectName, delete everything else after it). This is a workaround to automatically add imports for Base Components.

4. Click on "Finish" and there you go!

Notes:

For some reason, after updating Android Studio to newer versions, the custom templates get deleted :( so you need to repeat the process. The good thing is that with the makefile it's easy.
